What could be better than a host of spy photos capturing the 2008 Mercedes C-Class being but through its paces in preparation for its world debut?  The answer, of course, is a host of spy photos capturing the 2008 Mercedes C63 AMG being but through its paces in preparation for its world debut, and thanks to an astute reader by the name of Platon, that's exactly what we have for you this morning.

It turns out, the boys over at Car and Driver have captured what appears to be the newest C-Class, complete with quad exhaust pipes, new wheels, and a mesh grille... all tell-tale signs this isn't your typical 2008 Mercedes C-Class. The article goes on state that which most of us already assumed - that the 2008 Mercedes C63 AMG will likely be receiving the 503 horsepower naturally aspirated V8 we've all been lusting after.

Obviously details are still scarce at this time, but if we hear anything new, we'll be sure to let you know.  In the meantime, keep scrolling for a few additional spy photos, or head over to Car and Driver to see the 2008 Mercedes C63 AMG photo collection in its entirety.

Thanks for the tip Platon.
