Some of these modifications can be instantly identified by the strikingly flared front and rear wheel arches, an increased track width and larger wheels, giving the Coupé a muscular look while at the same time providing a basis for the highly agile longitudinal and lateral dynamics.
The brand’s typical “Driving Performance” is taken to new heights with the C 63 Coupé. The AMG 4.0-litre V8 biturbo engine with 350 kW (476 hp) in the C63 or 375 kW (510 hp) in the C63 S is just as much a completely in-house development from Affalterbach.
The C-Class is Mercedes-AMG’s best-selling model series and forms the backbone of the company’s success. Since its launch in 2011, the Coupé version has steadily gained in significance, culminating with the C 63 AMG Coupé “Black Series”.
“The new C 63 Coupé embodies our conception of progress: It offers impressive longitudinal and lateral dynamics at an extremely high level along with improved fuel economy,” says Tobias Moers, Chairman of the Board of Management of Mercedes-AMG GmbH.
“In addition, we are making a bold visual statement with the muscular design. Our customers can therefore experience the progress with each of their senses: seeing, hearing, feeling and, above all, driving!”
The Mercedes-AMG C 63 Coupé will celebrate its world premiere on 15 September 2015 at the Frankfurt International Motor Show (IAA). The market launch will begin with two models, the C63 Coupé and C63 S Coupé in March 2016.
