[Spied]:2014 C63 AMG
Our spy photographers have captured the very first images of the next generation C63 AMG sedan. A completely new C-Class range will be unveiled in about a year, and this will of course be the main jewel of the crown, a performance machine for the compact executive sedan segment.
The biggest change is that the next C63 AMG will swap the current 6.3-liter naturally aspirated V8 for a new twin-turbo 5.5-liter V8, like the one used by basically the whole AMG family.
The M157 displaces exactly 5461cc with a bore of 98 mm and stroke of 90.5 mm. There are currently four states of output for this engine. In the E63 AMG and CLS63 AMG, this means 525 hp in base configuration, which is what the C63 AMG will likely make now.
Right now, this test vehicle is only a prototype for the 2014 C63 AMG, but you can still tell it’s got wider bumpers and wheelarches plus AMG-specific rims. Compared to the regular C-Class, it will have bigger air intakes.
As the model gets nearer to its debut, it should drop more of its camouflage to reveal a sleek new super sports sedan

Everyone seems so troubled over the fact that it has been reported as being the M157
Isn't this what we all want?? I know it's what I want! Lets still be hopeful that MB still knows what we want and gives it to us. I'd much rather even a de-tuned version of the M157 than a N/A 5.5 or TT 4.6

The quad exhaust is actually just quad tips, so two exhaust pipes means nada. And those brakes are pretty big. But I'd be fine to bet ~$20 that the BiTurbo 5.5l will not make it to the C class in it's current form (i.e. it'll be missing turbos or something like that)
