In 2011, Mercedes-Benz introduced a facelift for the C-Class and enhanced the car's lineup with a two-door version that received the AMG blessing.
After failing to convince customers with the three-door hatchback CLC, and its predecessor C-Class Sport Coupe, the German carmaker introduced a proper two-door coupe for the C-Class. While it wasn't available when the W204 C-Class was ready in 2007, by 2011, it was completed and launched with a full engine range, including the powerful C63 AMG version.
Unlike the rest of the C-Class Coupe range, the AMG version featured a new, high-gloss black apron at the front flanked by two side scoops where the carmaker placed the LED daytime running lights. A wing-like chromed slat supported the wide Mercedes-Benz badge on the grille, while the hood sported two powerdomes, evoking the massive V-8 engine that powered the car. A set of 18" alloys with an AMG signature provided a striking, aggressive look for the C63 AMG. A lip-spoiler adorned the trunk lid at the back, while on the lower side, it revealed four oval-shaped exhausts.
Inside, the carmaker installed the same dashboard as the one from the facelifted C-Class sedan (W204) with a vast instrument cluster extended above the center stack. At the front, a pair of sport bucket seats with high bolstered areas and leather upholstery. In the back, the carmaker installed a 60/40 split-folding bench profiled for two passengers, with a storage area between them.
Under the hood, AMG worked its magic on the 6.2-liter V-8 engine that produced 457 hp. As an option, the carmaker offered a performance package that added 30 more ponies. The seven-speed automatic (AMG Speedshift) gearbox was fitted as standard.
