It gets a proven AMG 4.0-litre V8 biturbo engine that out 476hp or 510hp, while the maximum torque is 650 or 700Nm.
The typical V8 engine sound is another key element of the AMG driving experience.
The C 63 comes as standard with an AMG exhaust system with a variable flap.
The engine sound varies accordingly between discreet/suitable for long-distance driving, and robust/emotively appealing.

The new C 63 has a more emotive look, too: the AMG-specific radiator trim underscores the brand identity while emphasising the muscular appearance.
The interior benefits from an optional fully digital cockpit with unmistakable AMG displays and the new generation of AMG steering wheels.
One of the new features in the C 63 is the AMG SPEEDSHIFT MCT 9G transmission with wet start-off clutch (previously 7-speed transmission).
It allows faster bursts of speed and more spontaneous responses to the driver's accelerator pedal input.
In addition, the rear-axle limited-slip differential fitted as standard is now electronically controlled on all versions, allowing more precise traction control.
AMG TRACTION CONTROL (in the C 63 S) enables the slip on the rear axle to be controlled in nine stages, which keen drivers should appreciate, especially when driving on the race track and under changeable road conditions.
The C 63 and C 63 S both offer AMG DYNAMICS, a new, integrated dynamic handling control system which optimises lateral dynamics and maximises traction when cornering.
Particularly remarkable: AMG DYNAMICS calculates how the vehicle will react.
The driver gets an authentic driving feel with high cornering dynamics and optimum traction as well as high stability and predictable handling.
The different AMG DYNAMICS modes are named "Basic", "Advanced", "Pro" and "Master".
"Basic" is assigned to the "Slippery" and "Comfort" drive programs. Here the C 63 demonstrates exceptionally stable handling characteristics with high yaw damping.
"Advanced" is activated in the "Sport" program. The C 63 remains neutrally balanced. The lower yaw damping, lower steering angle requirement and enhanced agility support dynamic manoeuvres such as driving on winding country roads.
"Pro" (short for "Professional") belongs to the "Sport+" program. In "Pro" the driver receives even more assistance for dynamic driving manoeuvres while agility and precision when cornering are further enhanced.
"Master" is available exclusively for the C 63 S and is linked to the RACE drive program. "Master" mode is aimed at drivers who want to experience dynamism and driving enjoyment on closed-off circuits.
"Master" offers a vehicle balance with slight oversteer, a low steering angle requirement and more agile steering. In this way, "Master" ensures maximum agility and fully exploits the dynamic potential of the new C 63 S.
To enter "Master" mode, the driver must switch the ESP to ESP SPORT handling mode or to ESP OFF using the separate button in the centre console. This is indicated to the driver in the head unit.
