Authentic dynamism and sheer passion: The new Mercedes-AMG C 63 is systematically configured for performance. The 4.0-litre V8 biturbo engine delivers outstanding performance figures and an emotional engine sound: the new engine is closely related to the power unit that gives the Mercedes-AMG GT its breathtaking performance. The outputs range from 350 kW (476 hp) for the C 63 to 375 kW (510 hp) for the C 63 S. Thanks to its impressive driving dynamics, with lateral acceleration and grip at an extremely sporty level, the C 63 is predestined for fast laps on the racetrack. Dynamic highlights such as the AMG RIDE CONTROL sports suspension, the mechanical rear axle locking differential – which is electronically controlled on the C 63 S – or the DYNAMIC SELECT switch with AMG-specific transmission modes clearly demonstrate the uncompromising influence of countless motorsports victories by Mercedes-AMG.

The V8 top model in the C-Class is available in four variants: the Saloon and Estate are available as the Mercedes-AMG C 63 S and C 63. The C 63 S is configured for even more dynamic performance. With unrivalled low fuel consumption of 8.2 litres per 100 kilometres (NEDC combined), the C 63 is the most economical eight-cylinder car in the high-performance segment and sets a new benchmark.
