The comprehensive range of C-Class models offered by Mercedes-AMG GmbH is aimed at discerning customers with an enthusiasm for top performance and the fascination of motorsports. Whether the top model – the Mercedes-AMG C 63 – or the Mercedes-Benz C 450 AMG 4MATIC, both new models from Affalterbach impress with their authentic vehicle dynamics and typical AMG DNA. Emotion, adrenalin and goosebumps characterise the unrivalled impression of motorsports performance, which makes every journey a passionate experience. In a nutshell, the new C-Class models from Mercedes-AMG guarantee fascinating Driving Performance and the emotional appeal for which the brand is famous. Their sporty ambitions are further enhanced by striking AMG designs.

The new Mercedes-AMG C 63 continues the success story of its predecessors, the C 63 AMG, C 55 AMG, C 32 AMG, C 43 AMG and C 36 AMG. With sales of around 40,000 units, the C 63 AMG presented in 2007 is also the best-selling AMG model to date. The brand-new C 63, the top V8 model in the C-Class, is a seamless follow-on. A powerful heart beats under the aluminium bonnet with its prominent powerdomes: the newly developed 4.0-litre V8 biturbo engine is closely related to the power unit that gives such breathtaking performance to the Mercedes-AMG GT. The output ranges from 350 kW (476 hp) for the C 63 to 375 kW (510 hp) for the C 63 S. With unrivalled fuel consumption of only 8.2 litres per 100 kilometres (NEDC combined), the C 63 Saloon is the most economical eight-cylinder car in the high-performance segment. The AMG RIDE CONTROL sports suspension with electronically controlled shock absorbers, the mechanical rear axle locking differential and the AMG DYNAMIC SELECT transmission modes raise the driving dynamics to a new level.

The Mercedes-Benz C 450 AMG 4MATIC, the new AMG sports model, is an ideal addition to the C-Class portfolio. It provides an attractive point of entry into the world of AMG, and is aimed at a broader customer base. The superior combination of a 270 kW (367 hp) 3.0-litre V6 biturbo engine, permanent AMG Performance 4MATIC all-wheel drive and sophisticated suspension technology adopted from the C 63 guarantees maximum appeal and the dynamic performance for which the brand is famous.

The declared goal of Mercedes-Benz is making top-class safety available to everyone. The C 63 and C 450 AMG 4MATIC live up to this standard as well, because they adopt many of the new and significantly enhanced assistance systems that are also being used in the S-Class. They come equipped with the further enhanced ATTENTION ASSIST drowsiness detection system and COLLISION PREVENTION ASSIST PLUS, which helps to prevent rear-end collisions. The assistance systems increase both comfort and safety. The predecessor to the new C-Class already impressed with excellent results regarding passive safety. The current model surpasses it and sets new standards.
