Don't be confused. The 2012 C 63 AMG Coupe has the same 6.2L NA V8 that the 2012 C 63 AMG sedan has.

I'd say eMercedesBenz needs a new editor. I mean WTF?

The headline of that article says one thing "...new 5.5-liter V8 BiTurbo".

The subhead and article gets it mostly right "The AMG 6.3-liter V8 engine in the C63 AMG Coupe delivers a maximum output of 451 hp and peak torque of 443 lb-ft."

Except that it's a 6.2L motor.

Just FYI, i was at that auto show on one of the press days and after speaking to one of the AMG reps i asked him why the 5.5L biturbo didn't go into the new C Coupe and he answered by saying mercedes was simply not ready to fit the new engine in the W204(BTW it does fit) and rather wait for the new body style for the new engine. Hope that clears up some of the confusion i saw throughout the other threads pertaining to this topic. Also the coupe actually looks very good up close. Pictures definitely don't do justice.

Two more cars? One is has to be the BS.

What's the other? The "new" E63 with the 5.5 or an SLK63?

The new coupe looks much better. Doesnt resemble the honda at all. Its the small detail that catches eyes, not the overall look of the coupe.

I don't like it, which is why I am mocking it and comparing it to the Honda and the Scion TC... I see the differences, and I recognize it as a MB, but I still think it is ugly :P
