Local pricing* for the new Mercedes-AMG C 63 S Sedan and Estate has been announced.

One of the most anticipated performance vehicles of 2015 the Mercedes-AMG C 63 S will be available from $154,900* for the Sedan and $157,400* for the Estate.

The Mercedes-AMG C 63 S is powered by a 4.0-litre V8 biturbo engine closely related to the power unit that provides breath-taking propulsion in the Mercedes-AMG GT S. Producing a staggering 375 kW of power, the C 63 S has a fuel consumption rating of 8.6 litres per 100 kilometres (combined cycle), making the C 63 S the most fuel-efficient eight-cylinder car in the high-performance segment.

Managing Director Mercedes-Benz Cars and Chief Executive Officer, Mr Horst von Sanden said “The C 63 is a performance icon and being uniquely available as a Sedan, Estate and Coupe has offered an unparalleled choice for our customers. The sales figures of the previous generation speak for themselves and we know from customer enquiry that the new Mercedes-AMG C 63 S Sedan and Estate with their impressive credentials will set a new benchmark not just in driving performance but in compelling value in both equipment and safety. There has really been nothing quite like the previous C 63 and the new C63 S won’t just move the goal posts, it creates a new sports ground.”

The extensive range of standard equipment includes the AMG RIDE CONTROL sports suspension with electronically controlled shock absorbers, the electronic rear locking differential and the AMG DYNAMIC SELECT drive programmes. The highly exclusive “Edition 1” is available from market launch.

“The C 63 has always represented an incredible mix of performance, dynamics, luxury, safety and equipment and the new Mercedes-AMG C 63 S is going to surprise and excite with the most comprehensive standard equipment inclusions yet”, concluded Mr von Sanden.

C 63 S comes as standard with dynamic engine mounts

A further new feature of the C 63 S that is unique in the competitive field is the dynamic engine mounts – as used on the Mercedes-AMG GT. They address the conflict of interest between comfort and handling by reducing vibration from the engine/transmission unit. The dynamic mounts can adapt their stiffness smoothly and in fractions of a second to the prevailing driving conditions and style. Soft engine mounts improve comfort by better decoupling noise and vibration. Handling and agility, on the other hand, benefit from slightly stiffer mounts. When driving dynamically, the driver feels more closely connected to the vehicle as a result of increased feedback, while steering response is more direct. The driver benefits overall from a more precise driving feel. Minimised movement of the drivetrain mass calls for less correction on turn-in.
