In 2007, Mercedes Benz introduced the new body style for the C-Class, which was certainly like your girlfriend/boyfriend going from a 6 to an 8. The new model was a new inspiration and gave the C-Class a new look. more modern. .

Then, in 2008, they released the AMG version of the C-Class, which was the equivalent of your girlfriend/boyfriend working out, gaining some muscle, and wearing makeup or gel (assuming gel still makes you look great), respectively. By working out and gaining muscle, I mean 68% and 72% in the horsepower and torque department, respectively, at 451 hp and 443 lb-ft. What happens after such an increase in muscle is that you can now sprint to 60mph in just 4.5 seconds instead of a measly 6.2 seconds on that less attractive C 350.

When launching an AMG version, there will always be cosmetic upgrades along with the aforementioned power upgrades. For a man, this is like adding gel to your hair, but I’m not talking Pauly-D kind of gel, I’m talking about a more sophisticated polished look like Pierce Brosnan’s. On a more feminine note, the cosmetic changes from the base model to the AMG are like putting makeup on a girl and producing drastic cosmetic changes.

Okay, enough ranting about the C63 AMG… the base model was already a hot car, but with the added AMG gel and makeup, it’s now a dime. And this is a big reason why the C63 AMG is one of my favorite luxury sports sedans, next to the 2010 M5, of course. Cosmetic/structural upgrades include a 35mm wider road-holding stance that is hidden by larger fenders. Not only does this look better, but it also improves the car’s handling when cornering. Another cosmetic upgrade is the lower bumper and hood, which when mixed with everything else subconsciously says this Merc means business.

Even though this is an AMG performance car, we know that Mercedes Benz frowns on a manual gearbox as it is not suitable for a luxury car. That’s why this one is equipped with an AMG Speedshift Plus 7G-Tronic transmission. There are 3 settings, “Manual”, “Comfort” and “Sport” and the difference between the modes is the speed/smoothness of the shift. An advantage of the transmission is that the power is distributed over 7 speeds instead of 6, allowing the C63 to achieve 60 mph (4.5 seconds), 75 mph (6.3) and the quarter mile (12. 5 seconds at 114 mph) faster.

Additionally, the transmission features an automatic throttle beep function during downshifts, making it the first C63 AMG to do so. The almost completely jerk-free downshifting process has a particularly positive effect when braking before corners on the racetrack, or in the more likely scenario, on the street during forceful cornering on the entrance ramp.

If you find you’re going too fast, you can easily go from 60 to 0 in 114 feet using internally ventilated and drilled disc brakes on all four corners. Front brakes are 360 ​​x 36-millimeter discs with six-piston fixed calipers, while rear are 330 x 26-millimeter discs with four-piston fixed calipers.

And last but not leaseable is the AMG interior. The interior has new sports seats and a performance steering wheel. The seats not only have a new design with cross piping and AMG lettering, but also an adjustable backrest with adjustments for the sides and lumbar support. Perfect driving control is ensured with the new AMG Performance steering wheel in a three-spoke design, which has a flattened bottom. The upper section is covered in perforated leather and two silver AMG paddle shifters allow manual gear changes.

All in all, this is another solid product coming from AMG and I am a huge fan! The only problem is that it’s a luxury car at heart, but don’t worry anymore, the geniuses at AMG have figured out how to cut the number of doors in half, increase the power and make a real Mercedes Benz designed for a clue.
