Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG ready for launch
Here's a twisted idea: take an elegant Mercedes C Class sedan and stuff an enormous V8 engine under the hood. That's the concept behind the Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG, which arrived on the Mercedes Benz Canadian website this weekend. The C63 is the entry-level AMG vehicle in the North American marketplace, specially tuned by the German manufacturer's go-fast gurus. The 6.2 liter V8 engine installed makes 451 horsepower in this application, bettering the output of competition like the Audi RS4, BMW M3 and upcoming Lexus IS-F. It cranks the rear wheels through a seven-speed automatic with shift-paddles.
