Mercedes is currently road testing the new C63 AMG saloon ahead of its 2014 launch alongside the rest of the new C-Class range. The spy photos show the AMG variant with bigger, bulkier bumpers, large alloy wheels and twin exhaust housings at the rear.
The current version has 6.3-litre V8, while the new C63 AMG will be powered by a far more efficient 5.5-litre twin-turbo V8. It is expected to have the same 518bhp output as the E63 and CLS 63, which also use the newer turbocharged engine. That’s a jump of 67bhp.
It will also have the same AMG-tuned seven-speed dual-clutch transmission, which along with retuned adaptive suspension, stronger brakes and less weight should help it improve on the current C63 AMG’s 4.5-second 0-62 mph time, while using less fuel.
A new six-cylinder BMW M3 will make its debut in 2014 as well, so we can expect some strong competition. For more angles of the new C63 AMG testing, click here.
