Spied: Is this the Mercedes-Benz GLC63 AMG?



I'm going to go out on a limb and say you're looking at spy shots of the 2016 Mercedes-Benz GLC63 AMG. Here's what has led me to this conclusion: Our spies tell us this prototype was caught testing alongside other AMG models. It was even parked in AMG's test facility overnight. How romantic. And while those gargantuan wheels may be mounted to test how a small-engined GLC-Class reacts to big wheels that may be offered on a poser sport package, I don't think that's the case. It seems more likely that the wheels (and the low ride height) are trying to tell us, "Look out, Audi SQ5. I'm coming to split your face in half."

interested in the intakes in the bumper, could be a cooling system similar to the GLA with radiators in front of each wheel well. The thought of a cooling system with supplemental radiators...ouch.
