November 20 issue, page 5.
"The AMG model will ditch the existing 5.4-liter, 367-hp V8 for a detuned version of the company's 6.2-liter V8 kicking out 450 hp - 30 hp more than is rumored for BMW's upcoming 4.0-liter V8-powered M3.

unlikely to have dsg as mb will need to retool their tranny. ditto a sequential manual.....no way.
if the c63 has paddles with the current box that may be nice.
agree a lsd will be useful ...but if the e63 doesn't have on then no chance for c63 either.

If Quaife can sell an LSD for $1,600, AMG could make them and install them at the factory for maybe $1,000.
450HP is a lot of grunt to pump through ONE WHEEL DRIVE!

If AMG doesn't see the need for an LSD with a 600+ HP model like the S65, I doubt they'll do it for any 63 (lower launch torque). The best we can hope for is an optional 030 package for it.

While we're all hoping for things: Please make a 6-Speed Manual! 
That's interesting, 450HP - the CLK63 has 475HP, for some reason I thought they'd produce the same engine with the same amount of HP? Oh well, maybe not. But are those the official figures or just assumptions? Either way, 450, 475 it's going to be super powerful!
