C63S coupe 1800 kg
Brochure states C63S weighs 1800 kg. Similar to Nissan GTR apparently. Nissan GTR engineer interviewed in Car Magazine article earlier in the year after questioned on how heavy the GTR was he reckons 1800 kg is ideal weight at speed everyone is trying to achieve by aerodynamics if vehicle is lighter. As long as you have traction & horsepower it is no detriment but the ideal outcome for handling, he states.

The quoted weight is with a 68 kg driver and 7 kg luggage with fuel tank 90% full (see footnote 4). That would bring weight down to 1725 kg or 3803 lbs for the S and 1710 kg or 3770 lbs for the standard C63 Coupe.
Just like the W205, we will just have to wait patently until deliveries start and we get some independent numbers. Could be more, could be less.

That reads spot on above ^^^
The unladen weight always speculated right from the beginning for the new C205 C63 was 1725kg
Considering the R35's similar weight and featuring AWD and being a sizeable vehicle it's impressive, even if it was purposely built to that weight
