Since 2008-C63 AMG is for sale, Mercedes has sold nearly 20,000 examples worldwide of the sedan and its non-car counterpart. Not bad for a machine hard-core enthusiast, but Mercedes still think it is to leave something on the table. Enter the latest addition to the range C-Class AMG, the C63 coupe. It turns out that the biggest competition of the C63, the BMW M3 is available in coupe and sedan shells, too.
According to Tobias Moers, AMG "Dr. Frankenstein" and director of vehicle development, the C63 coupe is designed with a strict "no compromise" long. When pressed, he admits that marketing Moers Benz added a glass roof in two parts as standard equipment. He said that the main contribution affects only the empty weight and high center of gravity. But the veteran of 17 years AMG says that I can still feel it.
Most drivers do not. They're too busy basking in the glory that has 451 horses underhood contrast to 7200 times per minute. Tack on another 30 with the AMG package development (PS). Normally, when the Option Pack, uncorks a few ponies, which makes it a virtual octane, that is, to map the engine's computer. Although the AMG is actually reflash the DP, will also throw in the SLS-borrowed from the internals of the motor (forged pistons and connecting rods and crank light) and 6.2-liter V-8. The new components reduce back and forth and rotating mass to seven kilograms. Maximum torque is more than satisfactory, to 443 pound-feet, while the controller 155 jumps to top speed 174 mph
Pricing remains in limbo, but is expected to add as much as AMG DP $ 6000 estimated cost base of $ 63.500 when the coupe hits dealerships in September. The fluency in the language of AMG style the connection of the brake calipers red AMG carbon fiber and small spoiler on the trunk. The real curiosity synthetic suede finish on the oval wheel.
Compared to the C63 hatchback, coupe, yes, short of two doors and a seat. As in the four-door style elements AMG aggressive start to the large lower grille opening and finishing at the rear with a diffuser. The new cut into the profits of the harvest in 2012 sedan chassis tweaks, too. The wheels are paired with an increased negative camber, and every bush was adjusted, which have springs and dampers. The wet clutch pack engine to transmission coupler given the green light, thanks to improved efficiency (less waste than a torque converter) and faster switching (as little as 0.1 seconds).
At 3900 pounds, cut about 100 pounds lighter than the sedan. But as before, outside the line of traction is the limiting factor in the initial acceleration. Fortunately, the transmission update includes Launch Control, slingshotting the C63 with DP to 60 km / h for no more than 3.8 seconds, with quarter-mile mark passed in 12.1. Non-DP C63s will be a little late in the quarter.
Speaking of traction, the old C63 had known the young man, just loved the happy ass antics. Updates to suppress the beginning of this little, inching closer to a neutral balance. Return to still be around the gas-lift situations, and healthy for gas applications. Catching him is a breeze, despite a light control, and further corrections are necessary to maintain the curved line. In addition, there is more room for maneuver in the middle of what they prefer.
If the office route does not remember the passengers that are special in a Benz, the high-side seats and moans escape evil. A comparison with the M3 is imminent. Until then, let's call this one in a line of AMG monster.
