So far this year, Mercedes has launched the all-new CLA, an updated E-Class and its new flagship model, the 2014 S-Class – but Mercedes isn’t done yet and we’ve got the spy photos to prove it. Mercedes is planning a new generation of the C-Class and thanks to the sneaky photogs at AutoEvolution we have photos of the new AMG variant.

The new AMG C-Class will get rid of the naturally aspirated 6.2-liter V8 and instead go with the new 5.5-liter twin-turbo that will output around 500 HP, downtuned compared to the larger AMG models, just like other AMG models have.

Compared to the current model however, there will be some major performance upgrades thanks in part to a significant weight-loss, this also means better efficiency and handling.

According to reports, the AMG C-Class could change its name, the Mercedes C63 AMG badge would be replaced with C55 AMG.
