Great post as usual Callmiro....always on top of the latest news. We all know we can't depend on dealerships for this...
I agree with Fung. Although I have a 2010, it's still new to me and its appearance and power are still second to none.
Everytime I drive it....IT LIVES ON. Just down shift and you will hear its heart still beating

Nobody was excited about these bits regarding the W205 C63?
I sure was. Lighter, more power, better suspension.

"Further details remain scarce, but AMG insiders suggest the M117 may support an output between 450 and 600 hp. Since the outgoing C63 AMG's naturally aspirated 6.2-liter V8 is already good for 451 hp, its replacement is expected to up the ante to somewhere in the region of 480 hp. Forced induction, present in the C-class based performance sedan for the very first time, should also help extend its torque reserves beyond the 443 lb-ft of its predecessor."
Other interesting highlights:
"The adoption of a new aluminum-intensive platform structure and an predominately aluminum body shell ensures the increase in size will not have a big effect on curb weight, with Mercedes-Benz claiming savings in the region of 110 pounds, compared to the steel-bodied third-generation model."
"The new C63 AMG eschews the air suspension that is being made available as an option on various new C-class models for the first time, receiving a heavily reworked version of its more conventional steel-sprung arrangement with unique track widths, firmer springs and dampers, altered elastokinematics and a lowered ride height."
"We got a preview of the look on standard versions of the C-class fitted with the optional AMG optic package. But the C63 AMG will go further, featuring a heavily structured front fascia with sizeable air ducts to provide more efficient engine bay cooling, AMG's latest blade grille treatment, reworked hood, heavily flared front fenders, wider sills and a deeper rear bumper that houses trapezoidal chromed tailpipes."

The picture in the first post is an artist's speculative render of the next-generation C63.
The W205 C63 has not been revealed at all yet.

Thanks Callmiro for keeping us abreast as usual. I am planning to keep my W204 so I will miss it when everyone moves on to the W205. I hope this forum doesn't go dead.
