Right now I have the new issue of AMS in front of me, with
an exclusive article on the c63 and some none press pics.

It will be interesting when they can test head-to-head with the competition. I sure would be nice if MB had a dual-clutch automatic and a limited slip differential to throw at them.

tuners will find 500 hp as most likey the engine is chip restricted. at worse it may be intake or exhaust. the same engine is across the 63 variants.
How about 550HP+? I have allready started on the tuning program for 63s.

The AMS article states that the 7G tranny is as good as any SMG or what so
ever, plus the auto mode is so good that you don't want to use the paddles.

Another thing is that the ESP OFF mode is really off until the driver hits the brakes in an alarming situation! The the electronics always keep track of the
situation but only intervene when needed.

I found other pics of the interior on the AMG website. It seems
the cclass gets Audi style bucket seats.

I don't disagree with you. However, if one looks closely at the interior of the C63 AMG, one would notice that the dashboard seems to be made of this hard rubber composite. The dashboard of the Lexus IS seems to be made of black rubber erasers in my opinion.

Thus the BMW M3's leather dashboard option will make it the leader in the pack when it comes to interior beauty.

It Keeps Getting Better!

Central among the changes is the adoption of the front axle from the CLK63 Black Series and greater stiffness at the front end.

"Coaxing the CLK63 Black's 500 horses and 473 pound-feet out of this setup will be child's play for the aftermarket, if AMG doesn't offer power-spiffs of its own."

Just shocked. I am absolutely stunned how agressive this car looks and will be at Mercedes shortly to put down a deposit. My only gripe is the interior so far. The interior on my 55 is much classier imo but that is a small price to pay considering everything going on with this car. 030 will be a must on this car. Just hope it doesn't put it at 70k! Ouch.
