Frankfurt preview: 2017 Mercedes-AMG C63 Coupe - LeftLane News
Although the C63 looks similar to the run-of-the-mill C-Class Coupe, the two models lines actually don't have much in common. In order to accommodate bigger wheels and tires, the C63's track was widened by 64mm at the front and 66mm at the back. Wider fender flares ensure the C63's beefier tires don't rub on the coupe's body work. The C-Class Coupe's aluminum hood was even lengthened by 60mm for the C63 Coupe. For those wanting even more power, the up-rated C63 S boasts 503 horsepower and 516 lb-ft of torque from the same 4. 0L engine. In addition to more power, the C63 S also benefits from an electronic rear differential rather than a mechanical unit, standard dynamic engine mounts and a unique "Race" mode for its AMG DYNAMIC SELECT transmission. Mercedes says the C63 is capable of accelerating from 0-60 in 3. 9 seconds and hitting an electronically limited top speed of 155mph. The more power S model is good for a 0-60 run in 3. 8 seconds and top end limited to 180mph. The C63 rides on a sport-tuned suspension that uses a four-link setup at the front and multi-link rear axle that was specifically designed for the Coupe. Mercedes says the rear end in the C63 Coupe is 25mm wider than the one used in the C63 Sedan. Source: www.leftlanenews.com
