Could have 500 HP


The next generation of the Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG has been spied once again while heading to the Nürburgring.




Mercedes-Benz still keeps a lot of camouflage on these next-gen C63 AMG prototypes but this latest batch of spy photos provides us with a better view of the front fascia with those large air intakes while the back of the car is dominated by the double AMG exhausts on each side. By the looks of these pics it seems the new C63 AMG will have small air intakes in the rear bumper.




Engine details are scarce at the moment but it is believed the 2014 C63 AMG will use a twin-turbo V8 4.0-liter engine which will also power the upcoming C190. AMG CEO Tobias Moers hinted earlier this week that output will be somewhere in the region of 485-500 HP (356-367 kW). He believes there is no need for a C63 AMG rated at 600 HP (441 kW).




The new C-Class will be unveiled in the first part of 2014 and will be followed a couple of months later by the AMG sedan variant. Sometime around 2015 the estate version will also be treated with some AMG love.
