Your first line above suggests this mule is an unknown to you too JPMBenz :( Just let the cat out of the bag already LOL will it have the wider fenders ?? :) YES! The fenders will be wider! Even and the front too compared with the sedan's. Just zoom in and look at the photos, most of the edge of the fenders/bumpers isn't covered by the camo. Compare the black fender flare splash guard at rear bumper (that already stick out at the rear fenders) with the sedan's if you'd want. The test car has Continental ContiSportContact 5P 285/30ZR19 at rear, unless they want to use a different model of tire in the front for testing the car, not to shock you :eek:, for the matching front that would be running 255/35ZR19 and there's not 245 width in the sizes... |
This could be the Black Edition testing. We don't know. All Black Edition cars are Coupes.

Screenshots... maybe it was actually a C63 Coupe mule, not a BS mule (wishful thinking, I know) Attachment 445146 Attachment 445147 Attachment 445148 Attachment 445149 |
Guys,
Stop over thinking it. If this is a standard C63 Coupe then its more aggressive then the C204, which is a good thing, and follows the pattern of most sportscars as they go through generations (latest generation is more sporty then the last) If this is the C63 Black Series, then this is the most understated Black Series car yet. I've never seen a subtle or understated BS car :) Logic states this is a standard C63 Coupe. |

Yes, very happy with the current car but would have been completely blown away by one with sexy hips and a great set of buns like this test mule. :naughty: |

As soon as the coupe is available for sale, the sedan will be nearly ready for it's LCI (should come in late '17/early '18). |

Why exactly, would you test a car with wider/larger fenders, but then not translate that into the production model?
Not being sarcastic, I actually want to know the reasoning behind this. For example, in this picture Maserati isnt testing a Ghibli lift kit, its actually their future SUV, but they are testing it with a Ghibli body on it because they are the same platform and its early before a body is ready https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-UzK3eI4k1...te-SUV-154.jpg |
It's early testing so they try a variety of set-ups. In some of the early c63 testing the exhaust sound is also different.

Thx for posting the video, I now remember watching it before. The sweet memory (erased) and excitement shortly lived after seeing tiny rear fenders on the test cars later on… I gave up considering getting the new one to at that time because of no 4wd and still the same sh!etty MCT besides the tiny fenders.
Maybe they were testing C63 GT (Grand Tease) or C63 RS (Real Sex) at that time… Maybe they drank too much beer and wine after the great success of W204 AMG, and decided to not spend the extra cost to fix the traction/give it what it deserves and should have because people would buy it anyway and they can pocket more profits… :nix: I still highly hope/think there's wider rear fenders/track (may not be beefy and fat) on the coupe, if not, I'm kissing my order goodbye… If the new improved sh!etty MCT doesn't fix the unresponsive/hesitative sometimes stoned problems that might kill me in traffic than jerks (I can live be with that and try to handle it which would be less likely to put me in car accidents), I'm kissing AMG goodbye… Looking forward to see reviews on the tranny, not how it performs on track but in different varieties of urban traffics. |
So my sales person told me that Mercedes just killed the W204 today as production of the W204 coupe along with the beloved 6.2 V8 (M156) has officially come to an end.* Order books are closed and they won't show the W205 coupe for a while until dealers run through the current inventory.
JP, please confirm. TIA 6.2 V8 (M159) lives on in the Mercedes-AMG GT3 Customer car race car. |

That is correct. ALL MY 15 C's (Sedan/Coupe) have been closed. If you want a W204 C63 Coupe; your dealer maybe able to try and get a changeable car from another dealer. If that car is changeable; it can only be ordered as a 507 Edition. There were not many C63 Coupes built for MY 15.

End of an era. :bow: Thank you for confirming, now bring on all the W205 C63 Coupe details. :naughty:
Yes JP spill it already LOL :p: It sad that production of the W/C204 era has come to an end but that model series will live on for a very long time on all our roads around the World :) |
Interesting pics LOL

Skinny tires are back. :smash:

So it looks like the wider rear fenders and tires were Black Series spec after all. It looks a bit silly now with the standard C63 tire sizes back there... Doesn't seem likely we will be getting rear fenders any wider than the standard C205 coupe, just like the sedan :confused:

Yes interesting pics - fingers crossed that it is the C205 C63 and not a BS mule :)
I hope it really does get those wider fenders, there's so much more space to play with rims and tyres compared to what looks like the W205 sedan C63 wheels fitment there, for once you could fit up a beautiful set of deep concaves on a MB like you can with most Audis and BMW's. |
Is it just me? The rear fenders still look totally flared here, especially in this shot:
https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mbw...c585edc063.jpg It's just the camo pattern doing its job. The wheels are wrong, but that's not uncommon at all for a mule. |

Not a bad render from Car and Driver.

Hhhhmm... its just a render, but I would have to say I like the sedan more! :eek:
The rear trunk seems too small and I actually like the tail lights on the sedan. Front to about the rear pillar looks nice, although missing the fender flare, but I'm just not a fan of the rear. Let's see what it looks like for real... For me if the render holds to form, then in terms of looks: M4 > C63S Sedan > M3 > C63S Coupe As AV1 said, if the car is lengthened somewhat, especially the back, that would definitely help. Just my opinion, but still excited to see it in the flesh. EDIT: OK, it's growing on me. :p: Still like the sedan a little more, but I can see the potential of the coupe. EDIT2: You know, I can't wait to see spacers on the sedan actually..a little rear wheel poke on the C63S sedan |
