Press Launch Mercedes-Benz C 63 AMG Coupé: The fast trio is complete

BES is done. According to the classical saloon and practical estate, traditionally known as the Daimler-T model, the Mercedes-Benz AMG subsidiary served from July 2011 to the third gear of the most powerful C-class variations. Perhaps the most unreasonable, but complete with security spaßbringendste because lightest and most dynamic form, the two-door coupe for the price from 72 590 € makes quick trio.

/ B How powerful is the crisp, visually very successful coup, you can already see the very first glance. Tired of lying on the asphalt and muscled, like Olympic decathlete mature, presents itself to the 4.71-meter-long 1.7-ton truck, either on 18 - or 19-inch alloy wheels in four-or five-spoke design.

The heart, the 6.2-liter V8 with 457 hp or 487 hp (with Performance Package for € 7116.20 extra charge), deafened by the newly designed hood of aluminum, which makes two rather handsome-looking power domes no secret of the fact that really powerful displacement power under the hood. The maximum torque of 600 Nm is available at at 5000 revolutions per minute.

That's enough for the standard sprint from zero to 100 km / h in just 4.4 seconds. With the built-Performance Package is the even a tenth of a second faster. Top speed is electronically limited at 250 mph. Without the limiter the coupe of the upper middle class well over 315 km / h would sprint.

After all, up to 280 km / h, the AMG coupe with the AMG-3213-euro Driver's package. However, the affinity geschwindigekeits-performance customer precaution before the in-house training course. Very harmonious, in four steps is individually adjustable and fitted as standard in the AMG-seven-speed sports transmission.

The driving programs range from soft to extremely hard, "C" could stand for "cruising", but officially called "Controlled Efficiency". Here is shifted up early and comfortable, the consumption remains as the engine speeds, in the basement. Sporty it is then already with "S", "S Plus" and "M".

The switching times are shorter (100 milliseconds), the engine turns much higher and the great fun is to deny any more with the big smile of the driver. This of course also reflects the joy of giving V8 sound that thumps from the two chromed twin tailpipes. Who now discovered in the wild a natural enemy, like the Porsche Carrera and BMW M3, and a showdown at the traffic appears inevitable, selects the Race Start function.

This computer-optimized, the maximum acceleration will be on the roads. And there is a special attraction of the AMG speed shift gear: The smart Affalterbach have dumped the thieving performance torque converter and it built a compact, wet start. In addition to the significantly increased performance, this has the positive side effect of the fuel savings result.

Thus, for this remarkable performance, on average, only twelve liters per 100 kilometers required. This corresponds to CO2 emissions of 280 grams per kilometer. Because it is very consistent AMG brings the athleticism in the exclusive vehicles, it is not surprising that the interior looks to forge power.

The specially shaped, flat-bottomed leather steering wheel, we value already in the CLS 63 AMG, the shift paddles are made of matte, lightly brushed aluminum and the new AMG sports seats with integrated headrests are perfectly formed for the Boulevard and the race track. If that is not exclusive enough, reaches for the special equipment "Designo leather" or better yet, the top model "Edition 1" to 81 515 Price from €.

In addition to the black "Designo leather" are added as a contrast-colored porcelain decorative elements in piano finish. A real eye-catcher of the matte black paint "Designo Magno is. In our testing on the roads around Seville and on the Formula 1 test circuit of Monte Blanco shows the AMG C-coupe no weaknesses.

Each curve the, after the C-Class sedan cheapest AMG sports suspension with self-developed as a rail express, despite the sometimes poor Andalusian asphalt. The high-performance brake system always goes too strong, so that one feels in fast cornering, sometimes very close to the abyss, always very safe.

This is topped only by a few quick laps around the track. This one also caught the same right brake and turn-in, shows us the DTM record champion Bernd Schneider, as one moves out one or two tenths of a second. The AMG brand ambassador and driver's test is still hard on it, and so is everyone overtaking pointless.
