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

Lots of new pictures and some interesting info here:

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.

Folks, 4Matic will be an option later in the life cycle, AutoCar claims.

that's on the UK cycle, they have a "bigger" gallon

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.

Are those seats an option or standard?

+ 1


Overall however more things I like than don't like, can't wait to see how well it drives, hopefully no disappointments there


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

There will never be a 4 door BS MB.
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

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.

AV1

WOW !!!


That's more like it, just imaganing it without the rear doors

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.

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

AlexZTuned

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!
