Spy shots: Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG

[vexor]

Spy photographers caught the 2008 Mercedes C 63 AMG in testing this month. This is the least disguise we’ve seen on the new C-Class, and it’s also the most exciting model expected in the lineup. Like the other ‘63′ AMG models, the C63 is powered by a 6.2-liter naturally aspirated V8 pushing 503 horsepower. This report seems to discredit suggestions that Mercedes would introduce a C63 model using the current body style.

Sounds great but my all time favourite AMG is the CLS.

Mercedes-BANZ? Sounds like a rapper...haha I'm just giving you a hard time. Sounds awesome, I've ridden in the C32 many times and it was a very impressive car. If the spec. sheet for this car is correct, it should be one hell of a car that exponentially improves on the previous generation C-class AMG. Can't wait to see this beast on the streets!

The C klasse is gona eat the M3 and the RS4, but i dont care becouse i wouldnt take it if it was for free

The price of this car will not be justified. You're paying fo the name and to say "look what I have". The car itsself isn't worth what dealers will charge.

The new M3 will be a much better performing car and a better "driver's car" even with 100 less hp than the C63. Not to mention the extreme cost difference advantage the M3 will have.

Quite curious.... the new C-class didn't even came out, and there's already a test mule of the AMG version

It will be a very good car, for sure, but without the passion of an M3 or an RS4 8)

Am I the only one finding it rather weird that MB is putting that engine in pretty much all the AMG cars? Not that there's anything wrong with it, but every line of cars they make that can fit the engine has or will have that engine in the near future.

Who nows that it is a 63 AMG? It has 4 exhaust, and nice bodywork, but I don't think AMG will put something that heavy into such small car.

[chest3r]

That's what they've done with the 55 AMG

That's Mercedes policy :roll:

Ummm...then you'll be shocked to find out that they put it in the SLK!

They got rid of the kompressor, making it lighter and less powerfull for the C 55, but you are right, they could make another straight line cruiser. For completly different market than the M3 and RS4.
