Mercedes’ upcoming 2016 C63 AMG has made it back to the internet, all thanks this new set of spy images. Interestingly, the car this time is seen wearing little camouflage, giving us all a good look at the latest AMG model.
In typical AMG fashion, the C63 AMG looks quite menacing with its aggressively styled quad tailpipes and the flat black alloys at the rear. The test vehicle also sports a rear diffuser and a slightly restyled rear bumper.
The upcoming C63 AMG is one of Mercedes’ very important models as it will be powered by the brand’s new 4-litre twin-turbo V8 engine which will replace the 6.2-litre naturally aspirated V8. The twin-turbo unit will eventually replace the existing 5.5-litre twin turbo V8 found in a variety of Mercedes car models.
Codenamed M177, the new 4-litre twin-turbo V8 is expected to produce between 454bhp and 493bhp depending on the models. It will be paired to Merc’s 7G-MCT SpeedShift automatic gearbox. The same engine is also expected to power the upcoming AMG GT sports car which is expected to debut sometime during the end of this year.
