Mercedes-AMG C 63 S Coupe

FIRSTDRIVE Updated twin-turbo two-door gets tweaks inside and out, as well as new box
MERCEDES-AMG left nothing to chance when it introduced its C 63 lineup four years ago. Not only did it offer two power outputs for the 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8, but it also provided four body styles.
UK buyers made a beeline for the 503bhp C 63 S Coupé, ensuring it was the best seller of the eight derivatives available. And as with the rest of the C-Class line-up, the AMG 63 range has now been facelifted.
At this stage in the model’s life, AMG hasn’t gone to the trouble (or expense) of adding 4MATIC four-wheel drive or a mild-hybrid six-cylinder engine. And while nothing is confirmed, it’s unlikely to make any extensive tweaks until the all-new C-Class arrives in a few years.
The changes that have been made to the new C 63 S include an AMG-specific grille, a new front bumper with revised air inlets, and a fresh rear bumper and diffuser. There are also optional 19-inch forged-alloy wheels (the same as fitted to the AMG GT R supercar) that have been optimised for airflow.
