  • 2015 Mercedes-AMG C63 S first drive, Portugal

    The whole world seems to be going turbo. That’s mostly a good thing. In the case of the Mercedes-AMG C63 S, it’s a very good thing. While it’s impossible not to love the 6.2-liter M156 V-8 that powered the last C63 AMG, the new M177 4.0-liter twin-turbo V-8 is a worthy successor, packing up to 503 horsepower and sharing much of its makeup with the M178 engine found in the brilliant Mercedes-AMG GT and GT S.

So what about the new Mercedes-Benz C-Class? It’s making a harder sell than ever to win over more buyers—and it’s doing it with some softer luxury touches. The first thing you’ll notice about the new C-Class is the striking exterior. We’d forgive you if you mistake it for the much more expensive S-Class at first glance. Up front there’s a handsome grille set into...

For those at home counting, the hp figure matches the output of the more potent GT S sports car but the torque figure is actually 37 lb-ft higher! This output will likely be reserved for a new C63 AMG S model, with the stock C63 AMG previously reported to be delivering about 470 hp. By comparison, the 2015...
