2011 C63 Facelift leaked (offical). MCT confirmed
Good morning
Sorry if this is a re post. I haven't been on Mbworld much lately but a quick search did not show these new pictures and info. The article is from the Germany AMS and it also confirms that the new MCT is going in. Deliveries to begin in July 2011 (Europe).

Yeah looks amazing. It's a shame no interior shots were leaked. Apparently there is also a new 3 spoke AMG steering wheel.

I see from the plates that both models are factory cars, did they do suspension changes as well, they look pretty low compaired to normal stock. Adjustable shocks maybe?

Quick google translate of the article:
The novelty in the 2011er generation of the Mercedes C63 AMG is the advanced seven-speed AMG automatic MCT-7 with a wet clutch, which is already in the Mercedes SL63 AMG. By rotary switch on the center console between the four drive modes, the gas and the Race Start function can be selected. This can be adapted to the transmission of driving and can under optimal conditions the total consumption by around ten per cent to 12.0 L/100km (Estate: 12.3 L / 100km) lower.
Thus, the dynamics does not remain on the track, the chassis of the Mercedes C63 AMG has been retuned. Sun identifies the revised axle kinematics more negative camber all around, along with larger rear stabilizers to increase the agility compared to the current model. Optionally, AMG at a rear locking differential for the sports model.
The optical characteristics of the 2011er generation of the Mercedes C63 AMG is the more striking front and rear, and newly designed headlights. Here, the new bonnet with power domes, as modified is now made of aluminum. Of course, demonstrate the Mercedes C63 AMG model also massive aprons and skirts as well as a four-pipe exhaust system, the sports car character. On the painted titanium gray and high-sheen AMG light-alloy wheels with five double-spoke design, wide front tire on the 235/40 R18 and rear 255/35 R 18
Also on board the Mercedes C63 AMG AMG insignia are in the interior: door sills with logo, aluminum and leather finish and sports seats and a new AMG performance steering wheel in a three-spoke design with a flattened top and bottom rim. With the facelift, the instrument panel with built-in screen is completely redesigned and offered an Internet access. Also get the Mercedes C63 AMG now eleven new driving assistance systems are used that are already offered in the S-and CLS-class.
The new Mercedes C63 AMG can be ordered as a sedan from € 73 899 and a Model T from 71.340Euro, will be launched in July 2011. The AMG performance package will cost 7166 or 6471 € extra cost.

Yes there were a few surprises in that article. I for one will be hard pressed to not exchange my 2010 with this new model. Imagine a full option 2011 PP with MCT and LTH thrown in ![EEK!](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/eek.gif)

Finally little by little the MB politics are changing, they are finally really taking it to the next level, cant wait to see what the results are at various tracks.

C63 AMG
Hmm, exterior-wise, I still like the current model better. Something about the new front end that doesn't seem as "aggressive" as the current C63. I do like the tail lights on these 2012, though. I wonder if they can be retrofitted... ![Smilie](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)
Interior-wise, the 2012 beats us out, hands down...and that's not even seeing the interior pics of the C63 yet (only the regular C pics have been shown).
The MCT is a definite welcome, if anything it's worth the upgrading to a 2012 for that and the interior.
However, MB still chose to go with 255 rear tires. Sigh.

Not really feeling the exterior. Losing the power domes on the bonnet is a shame and still no decent rear wheel arches. I don't like the single slat grill either.
Integrated LEDs i like. Rear diffuser is an improvement. Speaking from my experience with SL63 faster shift times are are a dream come true though .

The only thing I like is the MCT. I'm not feeling the hood, front apron or headlights.
I wonder it would be possible to get the MCT tranny? I'm sure that would be expensive though.

ehhh
current model strikes much more agressive in pictures. Honestly I think this looks like a base model w204 with a painted center lip, redefined head lights/tail lights, and differently positioned fogs. Ofcourse MCT and a BADASS two tone interior I must admit.
Have yet to look at interior but if I owned the current model MCT is the addition to bring me jealousy.. however I dont own either so ill take em ALLLLLLLLLLLLLL
