2014 C63 AMG Spied Testing
by Teamspeed Spies

A completely new C-Class range will be unveiled in about a year, and we’ve captured the first images of the next generation C63 AMG sedan—the crown jewel of the line up. The biggest change is that the next C63 AMG will swap the current 6.3-liter naturally aspirated V8 for a new twin-turbo 5.5-litre V8, like the one used by basically the whole AMG family.

The M157 displaces 5461cc with a bore of 98 mm and stroke of 90.5 mm, and there are currently four states of output for this engine. In the E63 AMG and CLS63 AMG, this means 525hp in base configuration. Right now, this vehicle is only a prototype for the 2014 C63 AMG, but its obviously got wider bumpers and wheel arches, along with AMG-specific rims.

Compared to the regular C Class, it will have bigger air intakes. As the model gets nearer to its debut, it should drop more of its camouflage to reveal a sleek new super sports sedan.

 

I hope this one is as brutal as the existing was when it was first released

 

Will this be 4-Matic?

 

The CEO of AMG confirmed that we (US) are only going to get the AWD car. RwD is still going to be available in the rest of the world...

 

I hope you're kidding ...

seriously?

 

that cant be right...

 

There will only be one, AWD or RWD all over.

 

I thought it was going to be 5.5l N/A on the C class . . .
