The C63 AMG is the best-selling AMG model till date with over 40,000 vehicles on-road.

Stepping indoors, the C 63 gets a flat-bottomed steering wheel, leather/microfiber sport seats, and stainless steel pedals. A dashboard wrapped in ARTICO, aluminum trim, black headliner, AMG-designed instrument cluster, front door sill plate illumination and AMG-branded floor mats are the other highlights.

Spoiler, quad-exhaust and diffuser set apart the C 63 from the regular C Class.

The twin-turbo 4.0-liter V8 engine borrowed from the AMG-GT sportscar is harnessed for power. It makes 475 PS (468.3 bhp) and 650 Nm of torque and is married to a seven-speed AMG Speedshift gearbox which rockets the sedan from 0-100 km/h in 4.2 seconds, before reaching an electronically limited max speed of 250 km/h.

Performance enhancements include the AMG RIDE CONTROL sports suspension with three-stage adjustable dampers, AMG speed-sensitive sports steering system and ventilated and perforated brake discs that measure 360 mm at the front and 330 mm at the rear.

The Mercedes C63 AMG S is a more-frills variant featuring high gloss black accents and black flics on the front bumper. Composite brakes, 19-inch lightweight alloy wheels, dynamic engine mounts, an electronically locking rear differential and retuned front and rear axles, gives it more superiority.
