Spy Shots: The C450 Sport AMG
I wouldn't blame you if you thought Mercedes-Benz is going to have the small luxury sedan market covered with its upcoming C300, C400 and high-performance C63 AMG models. The first will mark the entry level, the second will provide a little more power and the last will cater to spirited drivers.
However, you'd be wrong.
Mercedes has found a gap to fill between the 333-horsepower C400 and the 450+/- horsepower C63. The undisguised C450 Sport AMG we spotted and its 367-horsepower twin-turbo 3.0L V6 should fit within the wheel wells nicely.
Although it won't be a full-tilt Affalterbach creation, the C450 Sport will benefit from the tuning division's expertise. That will come in handy when taking on the Audi S4. Like the four-ringed car, the Benz will be available with all-wheel drive (which the prototype in these pictures uses). Other AMG touches on the 4MATIC wagon you see include a quartet of exhaust pipes, big rollers and a diamond grille.
