For decades, the Mercedes-Benz C-Class has represented the entry point into Mercedes-Benz ownership, as the prolific German luxury automaker’s compact luxury car offering. Over the years, the C-Class has grown, both in terms of sheer size, as well as luxury features and of course, performance. AMG got their mitts on the C-Class as well, resulting in some super-saloons that can really take everyone else by surprise.

Exterior and Interior
First off, this 2019 Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG doesn’t look too aggro. True, it wears a black paint job and comes with a carbon-fiber spoiler, but AMG hasn’t gone full mental on its looks. The few calling cards on the car include its AMG badging, quad exhaust finishers and V8 Biturbo badges on the side flanks. Even the car’s staggered 19-inch (front) and 20-inch (rear) alloy wheels are AMG forged units but don’t look particularly mean. That’s great, because this is a car in which you can easily slip about, without attracting much attention. The interior of this 2019 Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG includes a panoramic roof, the Park Assist Package and the Driver Assist Package. It’s also got power-adjustable and heated front seats, dual-zone automatic climate control with rear passenger air vents, a full COMAND infotainment suite, a Burmester sound system, plenty of charging ports, and everything you’d expect from a luxury category vehicle. The trunk is also pretty spacious for a C-Class.

Engine
Powering this 2019 Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG is a twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V8 that reportedly makes 469hp and 480lb-ft. All this power and torque goes to the rear axle through a 9-speed AMG SPEEDSHIFT automatic transmission. Power-assisted steering and power-assisted ventilated disc brakes are standard. The official performance figures for this variant are 0-60 in the low 4 second range, and a top speed electronically capped at 155mph, although you can pay AMG to remove the limiter. Then, we’re sure that the car will easily spear past 175mph.
