2012 Mercedes-Benz C-Class C63 AMG Coupe Trim Overview

Delivering the ultimate in performance and styling, the 2012 Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG Coupe features unique styling and mechanical enhancements, courtesy of AMG, Mercedes' in-house tuner. Power for the C63 Coupe comes from a handbuilt 6.3-liter V8 engine, which pumps out an impressive 451 hp and 443 lb-ft of torque. With all that power and torque, the C63 AMG Coupe jumps out from 0-60 in just 4.4 seconds. The V8 mates to a 7-speed AMG SpeedShift MCT transmission with a manual-shift mode, as well as Sport, Sport Plus and Controlled Efficiency driving modes. Aluminum paddle shifters located on the steering wheel give the driver fingertip control. The V8 engine, which requires premium fuel, manages fuel economy numbers of 12/19 mpg. An AMG high-performance braking system and an AMG sports exhaust system are among the Coupe's other standard feature. In addition, the Coupe rides on an AMG-designed sports suspension featuring AMG shock absorbers and stabilizers, a redesigned front axle and a reinforced rear axle. Electronic stability control, traction control and antilock brakes with brake assist all come standard.

Outside, the C63 Coupe displays AMG body styling, which includes a front apron, functional mesh air intakes, dark-tinted headlights, a power-dome hood and LED daytime running lights. Sculpted side sills, a wraparound rear apron, a rear spoiler, oval exhaust tips and 18-inch AMG wheels are among the other exterior features. Inside, standard features include heated AMG sport front seats with deep side bolsters, a three-spoke flat-bottom steering wheel, rubber-studded aluminum sport pedals and AMG gauges. A 14-way power-adjustable driver's seat with power lumbar support, a panorama roof, aluminum trim, dual-zone automatic climate control and a 450-watt Harman Kardon Logic7 sound system with SiriusXM satellite radio are among the other standard features.
