Commercial release of the sporty top-of-the-range models of the C-Class
Affalterbach. The comprehensively enhanced power package of the C-Class is available to order with immediate effect.
In the guise of the Saloon, the Mercedes-AMG C 63 rated at 350 kW/476 hp (fuel consumption, combined: 9.9 l/100 km, combined CO2 emissions: 227 g/km) starts at 77,588 euros incl. 19% VAT in Germany.
In the case of the Estate with the same engine, (fuel consumption, combined: 10.0 l/100 km, combined CO2 emissions: 228 g/km)1 the entry-level price starts at 79,254 euros.
The Coupé (fuel consumption, combined: 10.1 l/100 km; combined CO2 emissions: 230 g/km)1 and Cabriolet (fuel consumption, combined: 10.4 l/100 km, combined CO2 emissions: 236 g/km)1 start at 79,492 and 85,204 euros, respectively.
The 4.0-litre V8 biturbo engine is also available for all four body variants as the Mercedes-AMG C 63 S (fuel consumption, combined: 10.4-9.9 l/100 km, combined CO2 emissions: 236-227 g/km)1 in a second output level of 375 kW (510 hp).
Powerful V8 engines, thrilling driving dynamics and distinctive, motorsport-inspired equipment have turned the top-of-the-range models of the C-Class from Mercedes-AMG into best-sellers.
The C 63 perfectly embodies the core of the performance and sports car brand and now offers, in the guise of the Saloon, Estate, Coupé and Cabriolet, even more agility and an upgraded interior with extended individualisation options.
The AMG SPEEDSHIFT MCT 9G transmission with wet start-off clutch makes for an even more agile gearshift response.
More driving pleasure also comes courtesy of the new, integral dynamic handling control system AMG DYNAMICS as well as AMG Traction Control (in the C 63 S), which serve to further differentiate the handling characteristics of the eight-cylinder models:
The C 63 and C 63 S both offer AMG DYNAMICS, a new feature of the AMG DYNAMIC SELECT drive programs.
This built-in dynamic handling control extends the functions of the ESP® (Electronic Stability Program), allowing precisely measured torque distribution on the rear axle, which increases agility while maintaining a high level of stability. AMG DYNAMICS optimises lateral dynamics and maximises traction when cornering.
AMG Traction Control allows the driver to have an even more precise influence on the handling characteristics of the new C 63 S.
It allows preselection of the slip on the rear axle in one of nine levels. To start with, the driver must switch off the ESP® using the separate button in the centre console (ESP® OFF position).
Depending on the setting, the system permits more or less slip on the rear wheels very helpful in varying road conditions.
Visually, the looks of the new AMG C 63 are even more visually appealing: the AMG-specific radiator trim underscores the brand identity while emphasising the muscular appearance.
The interior benefits from an optional fully digital cockpit with unmistakable AMG displays and the new generation of AMG steering wheels.
