Speedy C63 AMG Joins C-Class Coupé

Mercedes-AMG will release the C63 for sale with the C-Class Coupé, but how does it differ from the standard model?

Styling upgrades like the aggressive bumper, grille and bonnet all hint towards the car’s sporting dynamics, all topped off by the boot-mounted spoiler.

But it’s what’s under the revised bonnet that really matters. And that’s a 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 which produces 476 bhp and 650 Nm of torque. That’s good for 0-62 mph in 4.0 seconds and on to an electronically-limited top speed of 155 mph.

That’s unless you go for the C63 S which uses the same engine to produce 510 bhp and 700 Nm. That will get you to 62 mph in 0.1 of a second quicker than the standard C63.

Whichever variant you go for, expect it to emit between 200 and 209 g/km of CO2 resulting in an annual tax bill of £265 to £290. Fuel economy will be around the 32 mpg mark.
