Mercedes-AMG C63 R Coupe Spy Shots

Looks like the C63 R Coupe is happening. Not sure I'm feeling that wing, but I'm sure it'll give the M4 GTS a run for its money!

Really do not like the way it looks. Hopefully it is an early prototype!

Not sure if they should loose it. it might come off and cause damage. however, if they lose it altogether, things should be fine.

The wing looks really out of place / doesnt' fit with the car. I feel like they need to make some aesthetic changes on the truck so the wing blends in more with the car.

Currently, it looks like they made no effort and just slapped the wings on :/

It just looks like a C63s with a wing... body and wheels are the same size.

I would have thought it would have had a fatter body.

Would be interesting to see the stats though... might have the new 550+hp engine like the GTC.

The W204 Black Series didn't exactly have a nicely integrated spoiler either...





Still not a fan of either one... the only car I'd drive with one of these park bench wings would be a GT3.

This just looks, wrong... Even when/if they were to change the bodywork it wouldn't solve anything.

It's actually comical to look at, that wing does not suit the shape and proportions of the new coupe at all. When I first saw this I thought that an owner with very "peculiar" taste had gone to town on modding their coupe

The rear wing looks identical to the wing on the older model pics posted by Alex. The disguised front splitter looks like the Edition 1 with some tape on it. I still think it is just work in progress or ... even work just started.. or at least I hope it is!

Am interested in what the 'R' brings. BUT the wing probably doesnt help the rear of the c-coupe which is easily its worst angle; the w204 looks better in this regard. Have to see it in real life first though.
I hope Benz can somehow reduce the rear bumper to ground clearance as it makes the rear of the coupe stick out too much. To be honest, I would prefer to see a shorter overhang on the coupe but I think this will be impossible with this model series. It is really obvious on a non-AMG coupe from the rear quarter view.


It just came to me: the shape of the rear actually reminds me of a 1997 Ford Taurus!!!!!

Who's to say they aren't just testing the wing component and front lip aero on an otherwise visually stock coupe just to get a feel for what improvements they would bring to a potential R? I'm sure not all mules are full cars. Given this is the first one spotted, it's probably still pretty early in the development face.

This is definitely not the final product... this must go head to head with the M4 GTS - they also have an hideous spoiler like this.

I think this is just a private owner's car with some body mods.
When else did a MB test car looked like this???

It isn't a private car - check the numberplate - its been on a previous test C63 AMG that belonged to Benz.


Love how it corners so flat - also sounds fantastic.

Considering the trunk doesnt match the body paint, maybe they just took off the trunk of the "c63R" and put it on a standard c63s to test. Just my 2 cents

This is definitely a MB/AMG owned vehicle and obviously a test mule.

There are now dozens of articles on it splashed over the web and all of the others reveal the plates unlike this one and they're "CC6310" also previously worn by a MB/AMG C204 C63 test mule.

Wheels and brakes look the same, but it definitely rides lower, sounds "meatier" and looks faster on that the vid compared to other C63S coupe vids on the ring, seems to definitely have an upgraded drive train and most probably a BS test vehicle as there's no confirmation of a C63R variant yet and that rear boot lid spoiler is definitely a BS type rear wing.

Really looking forward to seeing all this and other upgrades come through in the tail end of the model series run
