This was posted in the last Autobild magazine. "Mercedes is working on a C400 Biturbo that will employ a 4-l V6 engine with twin turbocharging and develop 408-horsepower. 0-100 km/h is estimated to be in an insane 4 seconds. The car will be available in RWD as well as 4Matic AWD."

IMO, this isn't making the most sense, but who knows! We'll soon see!

that's what I'm talking about!!! Because IMO the 335i Kills it...

It will be the best C.

Besides maybe the 481HP 6.2L V8 C63 AMG but for the price, that could be amazing.

IS300

agree for the non-AMG version

This makes me horny =P . . .

I remember reading a bit about a tri-turbo SLK400, at least that's what I think it was.

amgme

who will want the c63 if it's estimated to be that fast?

Sweet! Because Audi is ready to put up a good fight with thier new A5/S5!

Its for take some sales to BMW but for the 335d, not 335i...
The 335d (285Hp) is selling in Europe like candys, the quickest diesel in the market, specialy because of the low weight comparing to the powerfull 745d 330cv...

I have a friend that had a 220cdi coupe and now he have a 335d coupe and man, it flys, soo much pulling power at 155mph and its 6s 0-60!
Porsches cayman S, carrera S don't pull away!!!!!!!!!

I allready know a guy with a 335d wagon with 330Hp!!!!! (he also have a C30CDI with 285hp!!)

The reason a 335d is so powerful feeling is because of the loads of torque a turbocharged diesel engine produces, and the 335d is one of the best diesels in terms of performance that money can buy IMO.

Its not only the feeling... its numbers say it all

I was a passanger in some months ago in a Audi A8 4.2TDI 320Hp and the feeling was not so powerfull like the 335d
My jag xkr have 100 more Hp than the 335d and it needs a good straigth to get away from the 335d

Exactly. The AMG car would be pretty superfluous if those very optimistic sounding numbers are anywhere NEAR correct.

I think that would be kind of an overkill for a non-AMG C-Class, not to mention the price tag. If the 335i (4 door) starts at 39k, well equipped is just about 50k, what would MB start it at? Low 40s? Well equipped could possibly be slightly over 50k. It would be interesting to see if they actually come out with this.

Yeah, I saw one in Paris on display at a MB Dealer near the Arc De Triomphe. I believe the Tri-Turbo SLK is a diesel model.
