2008 Mercedes C63 AMG Pushing to a New Level of Excellence
When you see a C in front of any Mercedes you typically think of their lower end models. If that is the case then the C63 has redefined what auto manufacturers on this playing field can release at this level.
Mercedes Benz sank a magnificent 457 hp 6.2 liter V8 under the hood of the C63 with hopes of spoiling the soon to be released competing new BMW M3. Capable of rocketing 0 to 62 mph in 4.5 seconds and a limited (electronically) top speed of 155 mph. With all of this brawn you think that handling would be sacrificed, but not so. Mercedes has matched its shear power to an agile body creating a real competitor among its competition.
As with any Mercedes the base price of $63,000 (targeted) is just a starting point that can easily be upped with an optional Sport package among other goodies that will be offered.
