Echoing the SL 63 AMG

The revised C 63 AMG offers more dynamic performance. The front design, reminiscent of the SL 63 AMG, features a new radiator grille with a large three-pointed star, wing-type louvers extending horizontally, a front apron painted in high-gloss black with a lower cross-member, AMG special daytime running lights, and side air outlets. The bonnet is made of aluminum, and the material of the clear lenses for the headlamps has also been changed. The optional Intelligent Light System (ILS) is said to provide a particularly wide field of vision.

The wheels are fitted with fat tires, 235/40R18 at the front and 255/35R18 at the rear. The lightweight 5-twin-spoke alloy wheels are painted in titanium grey, giving it a sharp appearance. The rear design also evokes the SL 63 AMG, with a distinctive diffuser and the AMG sports exhaust system with chrome-plated twin tailpipes.



In addition to C mode, the AMG SPEEDSHIFT MCT offers four shift programs: S and S+ for sporty driving, and M for manual mode. The S+ and M modes achieve ultra-fast shifts in just 100 milliseconds.

AMG Performance Package Delivering 487 hp

The engine remains the same naturally aspirated V8 DOHC 6.2-liter unit, with no change to the maximum output of 336 kW (457 hp) at 6,800 rpm and maximum torque of 600 Nm (61.2 kgm) at 5,000 rpm. Performance figures are 0-100 km/h in 4.5 seconds for the sedan and 4.6 seconds for the estate, with the speed limited to 250 km/h by European agreement.

For those seeking even higher performance, the AMG Performance Package is available as an option. This package increases the maximum output to 358 kW (487 hp), achieving 0-100 km/h in 4.4 seconds for the sedan and 4.5 seconds for the estate.



Furthermore, the AMG sports suspension has been further refined with new dampers and springs, improving ride comfort. The AMG speed-sensitive steering has a sporty gear ratio of 13.5:1 and, thanks to the adoption of electric power steering, has also contributed to improved fuel efficiency. The interior features redesigned meters and a new 3-spoke AMG Performance steering wheel with aluminum paddle shifters on the back.
