Mercedes-AMG C63 revealed with 503bhp - plus exclusive pictures

Lots of new pictures and some interesting info here:

http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/ne...usive-pictures

Also, reports coming in that curb weight is actually 1715 kg / 1730 kg with 75 kg driver/luggage.

That brings curb weight figures down to 1640 kg / 1655 kg or 3615 lbs / 3649 lbs with 90% fuel

How much less is that than the W204?

Looks fantastic. Curious to hear the details and options.

I dont buy the MPG claims for a second, looks great on paper, no way that gets accomplished in reality.

Fairly sure that's just a cover, and not centerlock wheels. And no way the wagon is coming to NA.

I sure hope they are not CLs, they're a PITA and of minimal to zero performance improvement. Porsche marketing gimmick that I hope doesn't filter down to other brands.

Very sharp, I like it.

Same here, the coupe variant should be much nicer proportioned as it's a pity there's no wide wheel arches like some of those test mule vids - maybe that was a BS variant
I'm also hoping the coupe gets its own specific seat design like the 204 series coupes did

Maybe those videos were test runs with wider rear tires.

I like it. Side profile reminds me of a 4 series. I prefer all motor over turbos, but I like it.

Tail lights are ehh. I bet it's more stunning in person.

C40 or should I say C41, if we want to continue the misnomer lineage.

Still wild about my pre-facelift 4 door.

Really? I can see cylinder management and small block v8 getting that in 7th gear cruising on the highway. My 2014 e550 got 26 mpg from a 4.6L v8 and a realistic 440hp/500tq. I don't believe it shut down the cylinders. And this c class weighs nearly 800lbs less than the e550 I had.

Plus Benz doesn't seem to be in the business of inflating mpg numbers ... E250

There won't be a black series sedan, but that doesn't mean Mercedes isn't using a sedan body as a test mule for Black Series development...

They did this back when they were developing the original C63 BS



http://wot.motortrend.com/spied-firs...ght-9428.html/

If this turns out to be true, we'll likely continue to see more of this C205 C63 BS testing with a stealth W205 sedan body since the coupe isn't slated for release until the end of 2015 or early 2016.

If it's anything like the E63's claimed MPG vs reality...not a chance. Maybe...maybe going 55mph in 7th for a whole tank gets high 20's...can't see real driving resulting in anything close.

Not a big deal, just laughed a bit when I saw the claim.

CLA45 AMG
With the exception of no center console mounted shifter, I'm a fan. I was waiting to see if they would release it with AWD right away but doesn't seem to be the case. Will stick with my CLA45 AMG order since I live in MN and we get a good amount of snow.

C204 C63 507, W164 ML63, 996 C4S
So the new C63 is 3615 lbs (~200 lbs lighter than W204) compared to BMW M3 3595 lbs.

C63 with 469 horsepower and 479 pound-feet of torque, and a C63S with 503 horsepower and 516 pound-feet of torque.

M3 with 425 horsepower and 406 pound-feet of torque.

Knowing Mercedes, take 4 tenth off of the 0-60 claims and you got yourself a M3/M4 beater in a straight line.

I reserve my final judgement for the day I test drive it, however I like the way it looks especially in that new Blue. Looks Very good.

If one day we get the 4Matic C63 S wagon, I'm game...

I hope this is not true that means it will be a 2016 Model C63.... What do you guys think about the U.S. Debut date being correct?

An on-sale date hasn’t been announced for the new C63 yet, but it will probably arrive in European showrooms sometime early next year with a U.S. debut possibly later in 2015.

THE NEW GAUGE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER LOOKS HORRIBLE, It looks like the CHEAP clusters found in the SLK<br/>ALSO very disappointed about the Command Center Just a cheap CLA design. Yeah just screw it in here... Great Job Mercedes.





This is the 2015 C63 Coupe <br/>GAUGE AND INSTRUMENT CLUSTER... LOOKS GREAT AND STREAMLINED

I believe books open for orders in October with first deliveries starting in Q1 2015 (likely January).

I actually prefer the new gauge cluster - I wasn't a big fan of the classic big sweeping speedo gauge.

Looks good on the AMG GT, it's a slightly tweaked design but very similar to the W205:

If the coupe looks anything like that, I may have to change my order to a coupe! That sketch looks great!
