Mercedes-AMG C 63 Coupe (C205) 2016-2018 Photos, engines & full specs

Mercedes-AMG introduced the C63 series in 2016 based on the C-Class C205 range and took the coupe to a higher performance level.

The AMG versions of the C-Class were the most successful versions built by the German performance company. With the introduction of the first two-door coupe ever produced by Mercedes-Benz, AMG improved the performances and heavily changed the car's look.

Apart from the roof, doors, and trunk lid, all other body panels were replaced. It all started with a 60 mm (2.36") longer aluminum hood that sported two powerdomes. Since the car featured wider tracks, both front, and rear, AMG installed new fenders, which were 64 mm (2.51") wider at the front and 66 mm (2.59") in the back, respectively. At the front, the grille sported a twin-louver horizontal slat and a new apron with wide air-intakes. On the trunk-lid, AMG installed an additional spoiler.

Inside, the C 63 featured sport seats fitted as standard. AMG included a set of Performance seats, which sported higher side bolstering and lower seating position when compared to the standard ones. The carbon-fiber trims and the AMG badges from the center stack and steering wheel ensured a sporty appearance.

From the technical point of view, the C63 was a completely different car than the regular C-Class. Its wider tracks, both front and rear, the limited-slip differential, and the adaptive suspension were just a few examples. On top of that, the inline-six, 4.0-liter turbocharged (biturbo) engine produced 476 hp or 510 hp for the Black Series version.
