2015 Mercedes C 63 AMG front three quarter at 2014 Paris Motor Show — The new Mercedes C 63 AMG derives its powertrain from the flagship AMG GT.

Available in sedan and estate bodystyles, Mercedes will offer two engine variants on both cars - C63 AMG and C63 AMG S. Both variants are powered by the new 4.0-liter V8 Bi-Turbo engine, which also does duty on the new AMG GT sportscar.

On the standard C63, this engine produces 476 PS and 650 Nm of torque, and on the S variant it makes 510 PS and 700 Nm of torque. A 7-speed AMG SPEEDSHIFT is in charge of transmission duties, and propels the regular C63 AMG from 0-100 km/h in 4.1 seconds, and the C63 AMG S in 4 seconds. Both variants have an electronically limited top-speed of 250 km/h though.

The 18-inch ten-spoke alloy wheels on the regular car and 19-inchers on the S, optional ceramic composite brakes, sports tires and a performance exhaust system are some ways of sprucing up these cars even further.
