2012 C63 AMG, 1991 325iS. Ex: 2011 C63 P31
I would hope so, you just got it, didn't you? 
Maybe, maybe not. On the standard W205 C-Class it will be located there. It could be non-functional and a remnant of using a standard W205 column.
The cloth inside the interior could be hiding a center console-mounted gear selector.
Guess we'll have to wait to be sure.

It varies.
I have just read an article on the 2015 C Class stating vehicles with manual transmission, the center console is slightly steeper and features two separate trim elements in order to create ample space for ergonomic op of the shift lever. Perhaps the C63 will have a similar system for the auto shifter?

). That would be much better than a steering column-mounted shifter.

I'm sorry but I think we have a whole bunch of premature opinionators here.
There is no way that is the correct ride height - that alone makes it hard to judge.
Those are not the wheels it will get and clearly that is not the fitment.
Ride height and fitment. It's called stance. Changing the stance changes the look. Dramatically.
You can not see the spoiler or the diffuser. They are there - that's all we know.
Look at the way the camo tape covers some of the taillight etc. Wouldn't it have been so much easier to not carry on past the edge go the trunk lid? Must be a reason for that - some styling cue we can't see.
So we see a basic shape of a car, with incorrect ride height, incorrect fitment and wheels, multiple features covered up, and not even all it's lights visible. For all we know it's Kate Freakin Upton in a burkka. There could be raw sex appeal under there and we don't see it because they do not want us to. They are hiding it, it's their job, and they are good at their job.
Having said all of that, I think tail end design is the weak link on many many cars including our own. I suppose it is the result of satisfying all the safety regs on the front end and what that leaves you to work with. "Wimpy ***" is more the norm than the exception I'm afraid.

C63
Yesterday I did my first trackday with my C63 on the Belgian F1 track Spa-Francorchamps. The trackday was over, the track was empty en we were sitting in the bar. It was already getting dark. Suddenly we heard some cars racing on the track. There was an A45AMG, ML63AMG and (believe it or not) the new C63AMG. The track was already closed, just these 3 cars on track and maybe 10-20 people in the pitlane who were talking and driving as passengers with these cars.
The C63 was very loud and very, very fast... Maybe it's because of the professional driver, but when we were looking, we all agreed they were going faster than that we were driving this day (that coming from my friends with a GT3 and a Ferrari)
I also noticed that the gearshifts were very agressive... Double-clutch?
A friend of me took some pictures, I'll post them if I get them...
