PRICING AND SPECIFICATION ANNOUNCED FOR
REFRESHED MERCEDES-AMG C 63 RANGE
The refreshed Mercedes-AMG C 63 is now on sale, with prices
starting at £66,429 for the C 63 Saloon. The Estate is available
from £67,629. The C 63 Coupé is priced from £68,719, while
the Cabriolet starts at £72,537.
The AMG C 63, which maintains its reputation for combining
thrills and ultimate driving performance, uses AMG’s hand-
built 4.0-litre V8 ‘hot V’ biturbo petrol engine which generates
476 hp or 510 hp for S models.
For the first time the C 63 now comes with an AMG
SPEEDSHIFT MCT 9G transmission (previously 7G), which
has been specially designed for shorter shift times. A wet start-
off clutch continues to replace the torque converter, ultimately
saving weight and optimising throttle response.
AMG Ride Control suspension with adaptive damping
adjustment and an electronically controlled rear-axle limited-
slip differential are now standard on all C 63 models. The C
63 S also comes as standard with dynamic engine mounts,
combining comfort with dynamic performance by reducing
vibrations in the engine/transmission unit.
The C 63 Saloon can sprint from 0 to 62 mph in just 4.1 seconds
(C 63 S: 4.0 seconds), while the Estate takes 4.2 seconds (C 63
S: 4.1 seconds). The Coupé can travel to 62 mph from standstill
in 4.0 seconds (C 63 S: 3.9 seconds); the Cabriolet takes 4.2
seconds (C 63 S: 4.1 seconds).
