The AMG is expected to be powered by a 4.0-liter, twin-turbo V8 putting out as much as 503 horsepower.
Just about a week after Mercedes-Benz gave everyone a peek at the new C-Class Coupe, it’s whetting appetites even more with a look at the 2017 AMG C63.
The automaker rolled out the new C200 and C300 in California and Michigan last weekend and while the newbies looked sporty, they begged the question: when does the AMG get here.
Well, as the picture shows, the 18-inch wheels from the coupe get bigger 14-spoke models, plus air intakes, a metallic grille and LED headlights on the front giving the AMG version a very distinctive look.
The AMG is expected to be powered by a 4.0-liter, twin-turbo V8. Depending upon the configuration, the coupe will produce 469 horsepower and 479 pound-feet of torque while the S version will put out 503 hp or 516 lb-ft. Both versions of the twin-turbo V8 are mated to a seven-speed gearbox.
