2017 Mercedes-AMG C63 Coupe Still Testing on the Road Despite Official Internet Reveal

The new 2017 Mercedes-AMG C63 Coupe has received a full digital launch with technical details, a picture gallery and a handful of videos. Its exterior design is no longer a secret, but that doesn't mean the test mules roaming the streets of Germany aren't still wearing camouflage.

Wonderful things happen when you stalk the Nurburgring. The roads around the most famous circuit in the world are full of cars that look like a pack of psychedelic zebras with their black and white camouflage. The only thing in higher abundance than this kind of cars is people with cameras ready to shoot them.

One such person was YouTube user 'cvdzijden' who captured this 2017 Mercedes-AMG C63 S Coupe making its way around the roads in the Nurburgring area. Did I just hear someone in the back say 'boring'?

You're half-right, but then there's the only half... Just skip to the 00:25 mark and tell us that was boring. Yeah, it's just a minor powerslide, but it's performed on a public road and that gives it extra points. If a police car happened to be around, that would have doubled everything. It would have also made for a much more interesting video, come to think of it.

But once the Mercedes-AMG C63 S Coupe makes it onto the main road, have you noticed the first car it meets from the opposite direction? And speaking of cameos, how about that Jaguar F-Pace with British number plates at the start of the film? That would have been a solid capture for our cameraman on its own.

But we're here for the Mercedes-AMG C63 S Coupe and we won't allow ourselves to get carried away. Even though it's pretty easy to do it when you have this wonderful mix of three: the Nurburgring track, the German Autobahns and the Mercedes-AMG C63 S Coupe.
