New Video: C63 AMG Testing at the Nurburgring, M4 follows behind.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RZixtafDuI4#t=12
This is a great video. You get a grasp of what the car will finally sound like, and at :48 seconds, an M4 comes flying right behind the C63, you get a nice comparo of how the two cars sound. Car looks to corner cleanly. At :58 seconds you see the C63 chasing after a Jaguar F-Type.
My opinion, I still don't like the way the M3/M4 sound.

The C63 growl is deeper vs the M4 is high pitch. Not too sure how come the BMW sounds louder because when I test drove one it didn't sound like that. Maybe the M performance exhaust.

Guys, you've overlooked the best part... I think these latest (and probably final) test mules all but confirm flared rear fenders.
Just speculating, but I think the S is getting flared rear fenders while the base will have standard arches. If that's the case, getting the S will be a no brainer - it looks much more aggressive!
We'll find out next week

Best part of the video was the end cruising by the gas station. Sounds mean!
The only thing that I have noticed in all the videos is a peculiar sound, sounds like a chain rattling, always under full load. In this video you hear between 0:10-0:11 and even louder at 0:59 - 1:01. That can't be a turbo sound, can it?

Very few AMGs have ever been numbered to be exclusive, and the C63 will never be one.
I would think about 70% of the current C63 drivers on this forum will end up ordering the new one, and many will move from BMW, Audi and Porsche as the W205 C63 in its top trim will be a masterpiece.
Come and get your V8s here:

Whether they want the C63 to be high volume or not, it'll sell like hot cakes and Mercedes will build them to supply the demand.

70% of current C63 drivers would end up with a new one? Doubt it. lol. MAYBE 50% might switch to the W205. My next car is a GTR man.
That being said, I am hoping the new C63 does not dishonor the reputation built on the W204. Im sure It will be awesome.

I doubt highly that even 50% of us will. I think most of us have put a lot of time and love into our C-AMGs and don't want to give that up. Others, a vast amount, will hate the idea of going from a 6.3 to a 4L. Others, myself included, are not huge turbo fans - lets leave those for the 6 cyls :P.

+ 1 on the introduction of wider wheel arches
I've been quietly wishing MB would introduce wider wheel arches on their AMG models, just like Audi and BMW do, if the above ends up being the case I'm sure a lot of people will be stoked
The result will not only be a much better looking vehicle but also with a wider wheel track it'll result in even better handling and should also allow some decent dish or concavity on the rims as well

Wider wheel arches is what's missing on the CLA45. Seriously, if those arches look half as good the picture make it appear they will, I may have to jump ship. Three things that will make me switch my cla45 order to a C63:
-AWD option
-Some aggressive wheel arches
-if I can get one before December 2015.
