2023 Mercedes-AMG C63 S Performance

Since 2008, when the first example was produced, the Mercedes-AMG C63 has been the epitome of luxury and power. Now, after more than a year of development and testing, the new generation of the Mercedes-AMG C63 S Performance is finally here.

The previous generation Mercedes-AMG C63 was powered by a 4.0L turbocharged V8 engine, but AMG decided to reduce the engine displacement and the number of cylinders. Now under the hood is a 2.0L inline-four engine that, in combination with a 204 hp (150 kW) electric motor, develops a total of 680 hp (500 kW) and 752 lb-ft (1,020 Nm) of torque. Impressive power pushes it to 62 mph in 3.4 seconds with a maximum electronically limited 174 mph (280 km/h). The engine is paired with a 9-speed automatic transmission.

It is interesting that Mercedes-AMG presents the new C63 at the same time as a sedan and as a station wagon, with the four-wheel drive system, AMG Performance 4MATIC+. This drive, along with efficient power transmission to the road, also brings DRIFT mode for even more driving pleasure. Along with the drivetrain, active rear axle steering has been added as part of the standard equipment, which is another unique feature in this segment of sports compact sedans.

When it comes to design, the new C63 is more muscular than its predecessor. The car is 83 mm longer, 76 mm wider and has a 10 mm longer wheelbase. It is equipped with a set of 19-inch wheels with standard cast-iron brakes behind, a new rear diffuser, a 61 kWh battery, quad exhaust outlets, panamericana grille, full-width lower intakes. It has wider front fenders and a 50 mm longer front end, making it significantly different from the standard Mercedes-Benz C-Class.

Inside, the sports seats are upholstered in black leather combined with a stitching pattern. A wide range of colors and nappa leather upholstery with AMG emblem are available. In front of the driver is an AMG Performance steering wheel covered in black leather, behind which is an instrument cluster that can be personalized with different display styles and individually selectable main views.

Performmaster C63 V8 Final Edition

The exclusive tuner of the Mercedes-AMG cars, Performmaster, has introduced the Performmaster C63 V8 Final Edition, based on the Mercedes-AMG C63.

The car is painted in metallic gray and is equipped with a special equipment kit. This includes much wider fenders, typical performmaster grill, large air intakes, double exhaust tailpipes, AMG diffuser and the spoiler lip on the boot lid that provide the sporty finish.

The Performmaster C63 V8 Final Edition is powered by a 4.0L V8 engine with 612 hp (450 kW) and 620 lb-ft (840 Nm) of torque. This is a significant increase in power compared to the standard model with 510 hp (375 kW) and 519 lb-ft (700 Nm) of torque. The V8 Final Edition reaches 62 mph in 3.8 seconds with a top speed of 192 mph (310 km / h).

Increasingly strict regulations on CO2 emissions have forced Mercedes to slowly abandon the 4-liter V8 engine after giving up the legendary biturbo V12. Some information says that the V8 engine will not be offered in the new generation C-Class (W206), which will be powered by a 2.0L 4-cylinder Hybrid.

It is unknown at this time how much the upgrade will cost. For those who can afford it, it could be a good investment given that the price of the Mercedes-AMG C63 is expected to rise in the future.

Manhart CR 700 Wagon

The new Mercedes-AMG C63 was the basis for the creation of the Manhart CR 700 Wagon. It is the work of the German tuning company Manhart, which made an effort to make this caravan more impressive.

The CR 700 Wagon still looks powerful. The Manhart equipment kit brings a black body color, standard for all Manhart models, with contrasting gold stripes on the sides and the entire length of the car. There’s also a new black grille, adjustable H&R springs so the car can be lowered further, a new air intake, a new intercooler, a sports downpipe with 200-cell catalysts and optional racing downpipes, and a remapped ECU.

The Manhart CR 700 Wagon is powered by a 4.0-liter biturbo V8 engine with 712 hp (524 kW) and 679 lb-ft (920 Nm) of torque. As a reminder, the standard Mercedes-AMG C63 has 510 hp (375 kW) and 516 lb-ft (700 Nm) of torque. The car is mounted on 20-inch Concave One wheels with 255 / 30ZR 20 (front) and 275 / 30ZR20 (rear) high-performance tires.

It is unknown at this time what the price is, but how much the exhaust system costs $ 9,150 (€ 8,099), 20-inch wheels cost $ 3,150 (€ 2,796), the performance improvement package is $ 20,300 (€ 17,999) and the MHtronik Powerbox module is $ 2,595 ( € 2,299).
