DD GT3 RD

makes sense as it has a smaller engine, right? the 5.5 liter V8

tasho3

but it has 2 turbo's?

Bones

its a NA engine based off the TT 5.5

DD GT3 RD

false, the black series C63 coupe has a twin turbo 5.5 V8

the regular C63 coupe is N/A 5.5 V8

C63 sedan has same 6.2 V8

WTF!? Seriously, the new naming conventions make no sense.

I am Jeff

The naming convention never made any sense at all. We have a 6.2 liter engine, yet it's called a C63!

ZephyrAMG

to OP, Did you ever sell your girlfriends C63?

khmergod

6.208, they rounded up

Speedriven1

Considering I just looked at a 190E 2.6 16v, I would have to agree.

tasho3

WTF! so than i guess the sedan is still a better deal unless you go with the BS!

tasho3

No, had a few offeres but not what we want for it, and we don't need to sell it so it looks like we gonna keep it

Looks good. But what the heck is a naturally-aspirated twin-turbo 5.5 liter V8 engine????

Outside of the effectiveness of this article, I am skeptical about the cylinder deactivation feature for the C63 coupe.

In the 5th generation Camaro SS, the "AFM" or active fuel management, formerly referred to by many as DOD ("displacement on demand") and referred to here as "multi-cylinder deactivation" is a real pain in the butt.

It creates an abnoxious and even a nausiating sound inside the cabin when the 8 cylinders switch to 4.

The SS Camaros that come with automatic transmissions have AFM and because of this, GM installs special resonators in the exhaust system to muffle the annoying sound that AFM generates.

Many people turn AFM off with aftermarket tuning.

I would hope that Mercedes and AMG could employ DOD with better results.

Don't late model S and CL-Classes with the 600 engine get that feature? Does it work?

tasho,
I would say the BS is going to be more of a purists car, stripped out, race suspension, increased sustainability like the CLK BS was made for, so I don't think value is so much of a issue as to the driving experience, after all, this is supposed to eat the M3, right?
