The new Mercedes-AMG C63 has been a hot topic of conversation for a while now. People seem to keep bringing it up in conversation, having only good things to say about it.

Before we get into talking about the different specifications of the different models, let’s revert back to the history of Mercedes-Benz. A Marque that quite often needs no introduction, the name (more so than not) speaks for itself…

The origins of Mercedes-Benz can be traced back as far as 1883 and have ever since stayed true to their slogan; “The Best or Nothing” and their slogan really does reign in on it’s meaning when discussing the AMG C63. Mercedes-Benz often strive to out-weigh their competition in terms of performance, style and attitude. They not only create cars for enjoyment, performance and pace; Mercedes-Benz also create cars for comfort, style and grace.

One of the most talked about models of the moment is the AMG C63. When you hear ‘AMG’ you instantly recognise the car in question to be from the ‘Power League’. Founded in 1967, Mercedes-AMG GmbH (otherwise referred to as ‘AMG’) are in charge when it comes to high-end performance. They independently manufacture, engineer and customise high-end performance vehicles for Mercedes-Benz. You can expect any AMG model to be finished to the highest standard as they are quite simply, in a league of their own.

Mercedes-AMG C63

The new C63 in the C-Class range has excited many since it’s initial production on 1st December 2015. Not only does it couple sophistication with roaring performance, it’s also an incredibly beautiful car with a sleek yet robust-looking design.

Mercedes-AMG C63 Coupé
The new Mercedes-AMG C63 Coupé indulges in a V8 engine giving out an extremely powerful 469bhp. The 4.0 litre performance car goes from 0-60mph in just 3.9 seconds and has a top speed of 155mph.

With a price tag starting from £61,160 you also get an Automatic transmission with a 7 speed gearbox.

Mercedes-AMG C63 Coupé S

The S is slightly more expensive than the standard Coupé and has a little more power to go with it. At £68,070 it is £6,910 more expensive than the standard AMG model however this is warranted when you learn of it’s performance specifications. The S comes with 502 bhp (an increase of 33bhp) and can get from 0-60mph in a very quick 3.8 seconds (an increase of 0.1 second).

In terms of the fuel, transmission and gears however, they are both the same; Twin Turbo, Automatic transmission and a 7 speed gearbox.

Mercedes-AMG C63 Saloon

The Saloon model is slightly cheaper than the Coupé and the Coupé S with a starting price of £60,060. The Saloon model has also been in production longer; production commenced on 1st February 2015.

The car has a 4.0 litre v8 engine with 469bhp and a top speed of 155mph. It’s also able to get from 0-60mph in just 4.0 seconds which is pretty good going for a Saloon!

Mercedes-AMG C63 Saloon S

The Saloon S model is again, more expensive than the Saloon however cheaper than the Coupé S. It starts at £66,810 and for that it offers you another 4.0 litre v8 engine but this time with 502bhp and 32 valves.

So, what’s the 0-60mph time? Oh, just 3.9 seconds.

Insurance for a Mercedes-AMG C63

Considering all of the above models are high-performance vehicles, understandably they are in higher insurance groups. Insurance groups range from 1-50 and are dependant on a number of factors such as; parts costs, repair costs and repair times. The higher the number, generally reflects a higher price of insurance. The insurance groups for the above vehicles range from 47-48. Both the Coupé and Saloon models are group 47 whereas the S models are both group 48.

Sophisticated, charming, dominant and robust – the AMG C63 certainly knows how to put on a performance!
