C32 Coupe Pics...

Interesting, in that the door handles are black and not body-colored. Otherwise, sign me up for one, please. I'll make due with the non-manual tranny...

Two cylinders, 157 horsepower, modified transmission, bigger brakes, stiffer suspension, a body kit, and wider, staggered 18" tires and wheels are the main differences. Oy yeah, the other big difference is it costs about 60,000 Euros and you can't buy one in the United States.

how much HP does a C32 Coupe have?

Your saying it has 157 extra HP then the C-coupe? That 351 hp, damn, that's crazy!!

I actually dislike that AMG front on the C-coupe. Looks sorta odd and squashed. I like the rear though.

The holes in the bumbers are the sensors for the parktronic (parking radar) In Europe you can get this as an option on all coupés.

The AMG C32 coupes are converted at the AMG factory from a regular factory C-coupe supplied by the customer. The person that had this one done simply gave them a base model with black handles.

The doner car method of upgrade is something I was not completely sure of...makes me wonder though...how much more expensive an upgrade would be for me,rather than if I just bought a straight C32 Coupe...considering all the stuff I paid for that they will just rip out...like my little 2.3 l 4 pot...do they give you discount (pro rata...wear and tear) or they just shaft you? what do they do with all the used engines and other bits and pieces..anyway all of this is a hypthetical situation for me...so far I'm satisfied with my car as it is

From my understanding of the AMG-Special proceedure there is no such thing as a "straight" C32 Coupe. A customer orders a standard Coupe which is then sent to AMG for the C32 conversion.

That said, it would probably be more cost effective to get the base engine version (as I imagine it's cheapest) because it's apparently is going to be removed (maybe given back to MB, or parted out, ???). I'm not 100% sure if this is how it works - just my impression from the website. It's also possible that the car is sent from Sindelfingen without a motor and the other parts which are to be added by AMG. My guess is that if you give them a car that's already been delivered your out the parts that are removed in the conversion.l

If this is the case, if I had a coupe, i'd rather send it to Brabus and have them drop the V8 instead. Over 426 horses and a 0-62 time of 4.5 secs. Now that's a sport coupe.

I forgot about the Brabus version. This is the way to go - it costs about the same.

426 hp! Ho, ho, ho!

Wipe most cars off the map with this sucker - I'd debadge it to maximize the embarrassment of my victims.

C230 AMG Sports coupe
I have made speculative enquiries regarding both possible situations approx £42,000 for a C23 Coupe 3.2 l 6V and towards £50,000 for the Brabus 6.1 l V8 conversion (donor car to be supplied by customer)doesn't seem to be in the same ball park to me!!!!then again ....just to throw a stone amongst the pigeons!Brabus give less extreme options...Hmmm my car would be a proper mongrel then...AMG styled yet performance breathed on by Brabus
