There is a lot of conflicting information out there but just like the SLS had a slightly different variation of the M156 (M159), I believe the W205 will actually have the M177 (rather than the M178).

For example, the M178 has dry sump lubrication and I don't believe the W205 C63 motor will.

Regardless, I am very excited about the M178.

Cars.
Food for thought:

Mercedes AMG GT(V8) Engine weight: 461 pounds | BMW S55(Inline 6) Engine Weight: 452 pounds

Are you telling me The V8 is ONLY 9 pounds heavier then an inline 6!? If so, great job Mercedes!!!
