More photos and specifications are leaking out:

2016 Mercedes-Benz W205 C63 AMG: Latest Spy Shots and Information

- AMG quad exhausts (even though you see only one pipe on each side, but the size of the opening in the rear bumper indicates quad-exhaust arrangement on production version);
- P255/40R18 rear wheel tire size;
- Leather wrapped/stitched dash board;
- Adjustable suspension control near in the center console;
- 320 kmh (200 mph) speedometer;


Also the powertrain specification of the new C63 AMG will be:

- 4.0L twin-turbo V8;
- standard version: 476 hp;
- high output version: 510 hp;
- 7-speed MCT transmission


There are more images in the original news. Glad to know the engine will put out 476 hp and may be able to break 200mph if the speed limiter is removed. But one concern to me is the rear tire size with 255 width: I am not sure whether it is sufficient to handle such high output.

The tires will be wider then 255.

Doesnt look all that good.

No rear flared fenders like the new m3

Seems to look very much like a c300 4matic with the sport package except :

Small diffuser at the rear with small lip spoiler

Front bumper remains to be seen.

Glass roof ads more weight

Ugly one piston slidind calipers. Why not stick with the c63 4piston rear by brembo?

Looks kinda big imo.

Once again i do think that the m3 is going to be the better handling car, the c63 faster in straight line. Maybe. The m3 is going to be likely lighter and was tested as putting down 425 hp and 425 tq AT THE wheels. So around 475hp at the crank...

Dont know what im gonna do ?

IMO the C63 will have the better engine, or at least it will sound much better than the rice burning M3.

the M3 is a good looking car though, the engine is what i cant stand.
the C63 might be the worse looking car, but has the better engine.

I am also kind of stuck.

The W205 weighs 220+ lbs less than the outgoing W204.

The front brakes will once again have 6-piston fixed calipers.

Carbon ceramic brakes will be offered as an option.

Paddles are where it's at anyway. If I can't have a MT transmission, I'm happy with my paddles.

+1

The paddles on the C63 are so well placed that I never find myself resting my hand on the center console gear selector. Always at 9-3, ready to flick a paddle for an upshift/downshift.

W205 C63 AMG Wagon Nearly Completes its Striptease



Like lingerie falling to the floor of a cheap motel room in Atlanta on a humid evening, the W205 Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG wagon continues to strip for us with heightened motivation. Our spy photographers caught this enlivened estate testing at the Nürburgring in its current state of undress. As effective an automotive gymnasium as the Green Hell is, you can sense this AMG car's bulging bodywork wants to tear through the acid-binge camo like the Incredible Hulk's thighs through a pair of skinny jeans.

At least the engine gets to frolic freely. Under this long-roof is the weapons-grade 5.5L M157 mill, which is expected to produce a 525-horsepower slap to your butt cheeks.

Read the rest on the MBWorld homepage.

How could MBWorld mess that up so badly?

It will be the 4.0L biturbo V8.

This is beginning to grow on me.
Not so much the engine but the car. And not so much the rear of the car yet.

People say the new M3/4 weighs 3600
Power is rated 420/406 HP/T some say under-rated but unlikely
In 2 tests it ran 12.1/119 the m3 12.2/117
Stock c63's run regularly in that area and weigh a lot more

If the new c63 has 480/480 and weighs 3700 lbs it will smoke the new M's

The new m4 ran 7:52 at the 'Ring
Time will tell
