Recently a prototype of the new 2015 Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG has been spied while undergoing testing in Spain.
In past few days we have come to know some important facts about the next-gen range-topping Mercedes-Benz C-Class. Firstly, the vehicle will retain its C63 AMG moniker since it is too valuable, despite the fact there won’t be a naturally-aspirated 6.3-liter V8 engine anymore. Next is that the car has been confirmed to come out early next year and so it should go on sale in the first half of 2015.
AMG product chief Tobias Moers had announced recently that the flagship C-Class will make use of a newly developed 4.0-liter V8 twin-turbo engine that has been made by joining two of the four-cylinder 2.0-liter turbo engines taken from the high-end A-Class models. As per the reports, the new engine will deliver an output of at least 450 HP (331 kW) and up to 500+ HP (368+ KW) when configured with the performance package.
The prototype that can be seen in the spy images features a wider body kit and typical AMG alloy wheels. The new C63 AMG is expected to come with features such as larger air intakes, bigger brakes, a sports suspension, quad exhaust and other tweaks worthy of a proper AMG model.
