Mercedes-Benz's last C-Class coupe, the CLC, wasn't a great success, particularly here in the U.S., in part because of its awkward styling and in part--towards the end--because it was actually based on the previous-generation car, with only minor styling tweaks to update its look. Now Mercedes-Benz is working on an all-new version of the C-Class Coupe and this time around there will reportedly by a high-performance AMG variant. Destined to compete with the likes of the Audi RS5 and BMW M3, the AMG version of the new 2012 Mercedes-Benz C-Class Coupe will feature the same hand-built 6.2-liter...

The 2010 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG is proving to be one of the more exciting offerings of the next couple of years, and as the spiritual successor to the renowned Gullwing 300SL of the 1950s it makes sense for the car to be offered in a roofless variant as well. There’s no official word yet from...

Mercedes-Benz has one of the best brands-within-a-brand in its factory-tuner AMG division. Far from a body-and-trim badgeworks, AMG is building its own engines and developing its own cars these days.
