Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG Edition 507 Revealed

If you thought that 481bhp was enough for the Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG, and offers all what a car enthusiast would expect, you could be wrong. Mercedes-Benz has now revealed the C63 AMG Edition 507, which has the capacity to churn out the maximum power output of 507bhp and the peak torque of 610NM, which is a result of a technology transfer from the SLS AMG: the eight-cylinder naturally aspirated engine from the super sports car features forged pistons, connecting rods and a lightweight crankshaft. The vehicle will make its public debut at the upcoming Geneva Motor Show.

An AMG high-performance composite braking system with red brake callipers is fitted as standard. The C 63 AMG "Edition 507" is designed to appeal to ambitious drivers who take pleasure in top-class technology, as well as exclusive design and appointment details.

The C 63 AMG "Edition 507" produces 507bhp, and accelerates from 0 to 100kmph in 4.2 seconds in the guise of the Saloon and Coupé, and in 4.3 seconds as the Estate. As such it outperforms the 457 hp standard model by two tenths of a second, and the variants with the AMG Performance Package which produce 487 hp by one tenth of a second each.

The top speed of all variants is 174 mph (electronically limited): this is because as standard the "Edition 507" models are fitted with the AMG Driver’s package. In addition to an increase in the restriction imposed on the top speed, the package also includes a voucher for attendance of a driver training session at the AMG Driving Academy.

According to Ola Källenius, Chairman of the Board of Management of Mercedes-AMG GmbH: "The C 63 AMG with the classic AMG 6.3-litre high-revving V8 naturally aspirated engine is one of the most popular AMG high-performance cars in the world. With the new C 63 AMG "Edition 507", we are offering our loyal customers an attractive model variant which boasts even higher performance and at the same time is visually exciting."
