Looking for a 4-seater coupe to scare Porsche and Ferrari owners whilst still being able to toddle along in heavy city centre traffic in sheer comfort? Well the answer comes from Mercedes-Benz Malaysia in the form of the new C 63 AMG Coupé, a stand-alone, high-performance car that appeals to all senses.
The AMG 6.3-litre V8 engine in the C 63 AMG Coupé has a maximum output of 457 hp and peak torque of 600 Nm, delivering powerful traction and first-class performance figures: the Coupé accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in just 4.4 seconds and has a top speed of 250 km/h (electronically limited).
The new Coupé variant benefits from all the technology updates that have served the C 63 AMG Saloon and Estate models so well. Fuel consumption is reduced through the AMG SPEEDSHIFT MCT 7-speed sports transmission with its “Controlled Efficiency” mode as standard and a new power steering pump: overall NEDC consumption figures for the C 63 AMG Coupé are 12.0 l/100 km.
You could also opt for the AMG Performance package for a maximum output of 487 hp (30 hp more). Available as an option, this package improves acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h to 4.3 seconds, with technology transferred from the SLS. The forged pistons, connecting rods and lightweight crankshaft adopted from the gull-wing model’s high-tech drive system save three kilograms in weight. This reduces inertia and enhances the agility and responsiveness of the high-revving, eight-cylinder naturally-aspirated engine. Visually, the AMG Performance package can be identified by the variable intake manifold in titanium grey under the bonnet, the AMG high-performance braking system with composite front discs and red painted brake callipers all round, the carbon-fibre spoiler lip on the boot lid and the AMG Performance steering wheel in nappa leather with an Alcantara® grip area.
