Respectable performance

A 6.3 litre naturally aspirated V8 engine, 336 kW, 600 Nm torque, 0 to 100 km/h in 4.5 seconds, top speed 250 km/h � the specification and performance data of the C 63 AMG speak for themselves.

The only way to really appreciate the calibre of this exceptional vehicle is to drive it. The current generation of the AMG C-Class offers a perfect blend of exceptional performance and expressive design. Maximum output and agility are guaranteed by the combination of AMG V8 engine and the perfectly aligned AMG sports suspension with a newly developed wider front axle and AMG speed-sensitive sports steering. The AMG SPEEDSHIFT PLUS 7G-TRONIC 7-speed automatic transmission ensures optimum delivery of engine power to the road. It enhances driving dynamics with ultra-smooth downshifts and makes for an even more enjoyable drive with its throttle-blip function. The specially optimised three-stage Electronic Stability Program ESP� and AMG high-performance brake system also play key roles in ensuring a safe and enjoyable driving experience.

But the really great thing about the C 63 AMG is that it is a genuine Mercedes-Benz in every respect � with all that that implies with regard to long-distance comfort, handling and safety � and offers an ideal combination of high performance and everyday practicality.

One look at the exterior of the C 63 AMG is enough to feel its powerful presence. Take for example the special engine bonnet with its two pronounced powerdomes as well as the special AMG radiator grille with its central star and two chromed louvres. The fog lamps with chrome surrounds which extend outwards emphasise the width of the vehicle, as do the flared front wings. The side air vents in the front apron provide an outlet for the heat from the additional oil-cooler. When equipped with the optional bi-xenon headlamps or the Intelligent Light System, the C 63 AMG features dark-tinted headlamp lenses. From the side, the high-sheen 18-inch AMG light-alloy wheels in a titanium grey finish, the shapely integral "6.3 AMG� lettering on the wings and the AMG side skirts catch your eye. From the back the AMG rear apron with black diffuser inserts and three distinctive diffuser fins plus the AMG sports exhaust system with two chrome twin tailpipes and standard tail lights with LED technology set the accents typical of Mercedes. The AMG spoiler lip on the boot lid reduces lift and provides better driving stability.

Inside the C 63 AMG, exclusive AMG sports seats with integrated head restraints and adaptive backrests are fitted as standard. Upholstery is available in ARTICO man-made leather/AMG fabric in black and alpaca grey. The sports seats, door centre panels and door armrests are also available in nappa leather (in the colour combinations black, alpaca grey or black/sahara beige). The three-spoke AMG performance steering wheel has a flattened lower segment and is equipped with authentic racing-style gearshift paddles. The tubular-design AMG instrument cluster with RACETIMER, AMG door sills, aluminium trim elements, black roof lining and brushed stainless-steel sports pedals complete this distinctly sporty interior.
