Will there be a future 4matic version?
I know its almost impossible to predict things... but I wonder if AMG will release a 4matic C63 kindof like they did with the E63. Lots of power for two wheels and if I ever needed to make the AMG my daily all wheel would make that a possibility.
I know some would hate all wheel but man its hard to come from it back to two wheel esp with that kind of power. just safer and with the rear bias seems like it would be a good thing..

That is an interesting question and one a lot of people will want the answer to but at this stage it's an unknown, but seeing what is definitely planned for the new upcoming 2016 E63, AWD for the C63 might be more of a possibly than originally thought...
I just read up an article in our Australian Motor Mag on the new upcoming E Class AMG E63 and it will definitely get AWD in all World markets, before it was only available in LHD markets.
They also stated that in markets where AWD is available, the majority uptake is for AWD and not RWD and hence AMG/MB are actually considering deleting the RWD variant...
If they go this way they will purposely make it rear wheel drive biased so it can retain some of the "sideways" fun AMG RWD cars are notorious for, sounds like the best of all Worlds
Specs for the new E63 are mega impressive same M177 but built/tuned to deliever 450kw / 800nm and with a new MCT 9sd trans with a 0-100km/h in 3.5sec - blistering performance, imaging with tuning thrown in as it can take advantage of it all with AWD, tantalising thought if you could have the option of this drive train in a C63
Only time will tell and another reason I'm waiting for the mid life update and see what becomes available - hopefully the above
