The Mercedes-AMG C63 S Coupe is able to go from 0 to 60 mph in less than 4 seconds. – AFP/Relaxnews pic, August 21, 2015.Mercedes is set to present its new AMG C63 S Coupe, developed with the help of its high-performance division, AMG. It will be one of the main attractions at the 2015 Frankfurt Auto Show, taking place from September 17-27.
This ultra-sporty take on the latest C-class version Coupe is characterised by a much more aggressive hood, enlarged car wings and 19-inch tires.
The Mercedes-AMG C 63 packs in a twin-turbocharged 4.0-litre V-8 AMG engine with 469 horsepower (503 horsepower for the C 63 S Coupe), equipped with a 7-speed manual or automatic transmission that will propel the car from 0 to 60 mph in under four seconds (3.9s for the C 63 Coupe) and a top speed of 155 mph.
AMG has also included suspension with a "sports" version of the electronic stability program (ESP). The hum of the engine varies according to the positioning of the flaps located near the exhaust pipes; a small button lets the driver control the flaps and adjust the volume.
The Mercedes-AMG C 63 Coupe will be unveiled at the Frankfurt Auto Show alongside the C-class Coupe, revealed a few days earlier. The vehicle should be available early 2016 at an undisclosed price, though potential buyers should consider the environmental penalty, which stands at €8,000.
The German manufacturer and its performance division previously created a buzz during the Paris Motor Show with the presentation of the Mercedes-AMG GT. – AFP/Relaxnews, August 21, 2015.
