Handcrafted horsepower
One of the most powerful naturally aspirated V-8 engines in
production, each C 63 AMG engine is crafted entirely by the
hands of its own master engine builder. Its output of 451 hp
and 443 lb-ft of torque thrusts the C 63 AMG Sedan or Coupe
from 0 to 60 mph in a breathtaking 4.4 seconds.
from its oil pan up by AMG, the V-8 features such race-proven
technology as self-adjusting bucket-type valve followers, four
continuously variable camshafts, an auxiliary oil cooler, and a
rigid one -piece aluminum bedplate. Using an AMG -patented
process, its cylinder walls are plasma-sprayed to a mirror-like
finish, nearly obliterating friction and a primary source of its
rapid, free -revving response to the driver's throttle inputs.
The performance-enhancing AMG
®
sport exhaust is perhaps
even more cherished for its magnificent audio performance.
Pleasingly mellow in relaxed cruising, its four polished tailpipes
awaken with a vocal growl at startup, and unleash a snarling
crescendo under acceleration, gear changes and higher revs.
Orchestrated performance

The 3-link front axle is exclusively developed for the C 63 AMG,
with relocated and reinforced hubs, stiffer elastokinematics and
a track widened by 1.4 inches. As a result, the 18" AMG wheels
and high -performance tires
with a stance befitting the car's capabilities. Deeply sculpted
lower bodywork and a rear lip spoiler expertly manage airflow.
Staggered -width 18" AMG wheels — available in either of two
styles — offer an enticing glimpse of the AMG high-performance
brakes. Perforated as they are cast and internally ventilated, the
14.2" front and 13.0" rear discs are grasped by 6-piston front
and 4 -piston rear calipers. A limited-slip differential is optional.

Performance art,
signed by the artist.
Mounted atop every AMG engine is a small plaque 
bearing the signature of the single technician 
who crafted it by hand. More than a crown jewel 
of racing royalty, it authenticates a philosophy 
that's been the driving force behind championship 
racecars for 46 years. For the high‑performance 
AMG automobiles that carry this motorsports 
pedigree to the streets of the world, "One man, 
one engine" is far more than a spiritual legacy. It's 
also tangibly evident in the meticulous engineering, 
proven endurance and superlative performance 
that three letters — and one signature — certify.
Edition 507
With engine enhancements derived from the exotic SLS AMG,
the C 63 AMG Sedan and Coupe are elevated to a new level
of performance. Forged pistons, new connecting rods and
a lightened crankshaft shave nearly 7 lbs from the engine's
reciprocating mass, boosting its power output to 507 hp — the
origin of the edition's name — and 450 lb-ft of torque. A pair of
ducts in the aluminum hood help extract heat from the engine
while helping remind onlookers of the power that lurks within.
Exclusive forged-alloy 19" AMG 10 -spoke wheels — in Silver or
optional Black with a thin Silver perimeter — reveal compound
brakes with red calipers. The mirrors, rear spoiler and numerous
trim details inside and out are finished in menacing Gloss Black.

Black leather is optional. Grippy Alcantara

envelops the AMG
performance steering wheel, and an "Edition 507" dash emblem
asserts the cars' dominating power with undue restraint.
