The new C-Class performance models have the (ho-hum but expensive?) AMG radiator grille with its twin-fin design, and cladding via a new front skirt and a rear skirt with twin round tailpipes. The interior has an optional, fully digital cockpit with AMG instruments and the new generation of AMG steering wheels. The 3.0-liter V6 biturbo engine now produces 287 kW (390 hp) mated to an AMG Speedshift TCT 9G transmission and the rear-biased AMG Performance 4MATIC all-wheel drive.

The most expensive models of the Mercedes-AMG C-Class are also for sale coming to market with upgrades. Available as a sedan, wagon (European market only, of course), coupe and cabriolet, the new internally so-called C 63 (fuel consumption combined: 10.4-9.9 l/100 km; CO2 emissions combined: 236-227 g/km)2 performance and a revised interior. Power is transferred to the wheels by the AMG Speedshift MCT 9G gearbox with wet starting clutch. The 4.0-lietr V8 biturbo engine is available for all four body variants in two power outputs with 350 kW (476 hp) or 375 kW (510 hp).
