C63TT in the near future?

Sorry if I did not do a search yet but does anyone know when/if MB/AMG plans to release a C63 TT?

I am considering ordering a 2012 C63 and adding a Weistec on it but may just wait if a C63 TT will be available for 2013.

If a new 63TT is capable of 650rwhp with a tune then it would probally still be cheaper than a 63NA + Weistec and about equal in power?

I was under the impression the 5.5 TT wont be in the next C63.
That it looks like it will get the 5.5 NA engine...

i read that the 5.5tt had too much torque for the c-class chassis.

This is also what I was told. The 5.5tt will not be available until the new C Class arrives

The new c class is schedueled for late 2013/early 2014 so I doubt we will see the new biturbo engine before 2014.

C63 BS, GLA45
MY2012-2014 - Facelifted W204
MY2015 - W205 intro
MY2016 - W205 AMG

So the earliest we would see a TT C63 would be model year 2016, which translates to fall 2015. That is, if Mercedes decides to use the 5.5TT in the car.

the new facelifted 2012 c class is going to be there in 2013 and maybe in 2014.

The new c class will probably be a 2014 or 2015 model year car.

they should put the new 4.6 tt in it (the c63) with a good calibration that engine should be good for 550 hp with lots of torque and not be too heavy. similar to the bmw 4.4 tt in the m5

The thing is that that engine the 4,6 tt is probably a lot more costly to manufacture that the 6.2 na even if it's not an amg engine.

Edmunds says yes for 2012

Here is the link http://blogs.insideline.com/straight...-liter-v8.html

So a C63TT will be a Black Series version...

Why are you posting the Edmunds article?

The article is dated December 2010 and is completely wrong. The Black Series coupe has already been announced and delivery starts soon - it is a 6.3 NA motor. Not sure what the article proves, except that Edmunds does not have any "sources" at M-B.

Possible considering that the rumored F80 M3 will also be TT.

As far as I know MB is not going to use the 5.5 TT in the C63.

This is what the local deaslership was told by Mercedes as well when the C63 coupe was introduced. A lot can change product wise over the two or three years though...

I think your timeline is very realistic.

IMO, there is no way MB/AMG will produce NA engines for the next generation of AMG cars. The world is pushing for up to a 30% change in carbon emissions by 2025. Although that number will not be met, the trend to produce more fuel efficient engines is fast underway and NA engines that are rated at 13/19 mpg will not cut it; not when you have the new TT AMG and BMW engines making more power with an increase in MPG.

Yes I agee with you, but then we will never hear again an engine so wonderful as is the 6.2 NA. Its actually pretty sad and if i will get the chance I will get myself c63 BS and keep it forever.

I've never driven a FI Mercedes. How bad is the turbo lag?

+1

The 6.2 NA will be the last of a generation, never to be seen again. The TT motors might be faster but they just don't compare on many levels e.g. sound, throttle response etc.

My 63BS will be a keeper...

I feel the same as you. Although I really love boost, I have to say, when you're driving the "right" engine, NA is better. It offers a more crisp throttle response.

The sound of the M156 with the C63's exhaust is epic as well.

Of course, turbo cars sound awesome in their own right. The GTR for instance offers a great sense of occasion when you're listening to it whoosh and growl.

It seems like the M157 sounds really nice too.

I would bet that the next C63, even if it is F/I (which I think it will be) will sound the meanest out of all the 63-series cars.

If you can get get a C63 BS, I would for sure.

All I have to say is that the proof of anything is in the experience...You guys can call BS on me but I am only repeating what has been told to me through authoritative channels.

Am not willing to go into more detail at this time.

That being said, you guys have made me second guess myself and am confirming this with the source as I type....
