Next Gen C63?

I know it's a bit premature since Mercedes has just shown us the Refresh, but what would you guys like to see from the next generation C63? Do you want a boosted engine? Do you want sharper feel? What kind of design cues would you like to see incorporated? I can't wait for details to leak and spy shots to show up.

Steel Grey Metallic C63!!
I want WIDER rear wheels and tires. 275 minimum, maybe even 285's if it doesn't tramline on the road.

A model that doesn't change every three years


Seriously, wider tires in the rear, standard LSD, more CF and aluminum parts for weight savings, leather dash, 19" optional rims, made in Germany (talks of new C class being built in Billy Bob country)

That's one thing I LOVE about the C63 AMG. The carbon fiber inserts! The M3 only has Carbon Fiber Leather trim. No CF inserts.

Next C63

Next C63 should have a full CF bodyshell () with engine HP output of around 600-700hp, has the suspension of a Porsche Cup car ( ) and the braking power of a Brembo GTR's.

Why use CF looking trim if it has no benefits?

Now much do you think the MSRP will be? I'm pretty sure it will get a bit more expensive.

Yes! And in turn, flared rear fenders. Also, FULL leather interior, not that crap it has now. Throw in a standard LSD & the MCT tranny & I should be good with that!!

All of the above plus true dual clutch tranny, alcantara headliner, and adjustable sport exhaust

Great list. I completely agree.

Less weight with the same or a little more power would be fun.

I wonder how much weight they can shave. Would anyone buy Carbon Ceramic Brakes if they were an option?

They can shave a lot. I mean, we the end customer know how to shave weight and given MB's ability to manufacture to their hearts delight (within obvious safety and economic constraints), they can probably shave 100-200 lbs.

CF Hood option: 30 lbs
CF Trunk option: 15 lbs
Brakes: 40 lbs
Seats: 20 lbs
Wheels: 20 lbs

I'm being conservative because I acknowledge that I do not know the scope of the applicable safety standards.

But, I figure these items are already available now so I should hope the technology would have advanced some by the time the new body style comes out.

I wouldn't purchase carbon ceramic breaks. Too rich for my blood. Plus I wouldn't have the use for them.

In addition to all that, it should have 22" spinner wheels, hydraulics, chain link steering wheel, dice in the mirror and a paint job like a mountain dew can

Adding all this CF also makes the price shoot up. We don't want to pull an LFA now, do we?
