As the refreshed Mercedes-AMG C63 is about to launch
in the UK, the company has just released the official pricing information of
its performance model. Prices for the 2019 C63 start at £ 66,429 for the Saloon, £ 67,629 for
the Estate, £ 68,719 for the Coupe and £ 72,537 for the Cabriolet.
The biggest mechanical change over the outgoing
model is the replacement of the seven-speed automatic transmission for AMG’s
latest nine-speed Speedshift MCT. The new transmission features a wet clutch
instead of a torque converter for less weight and better response.
All versions of the C63 now come with AMG Ride Control
adaptive suspension and an electronically controlled limited-slip differential,
previously available only on the more powerful S models, as standard. Speaking
of, the 2019 C63 S comes with dynamic engine mounts.
The twin-turbo 4.0-liter V8 still produces 469 hp in C63 and 503 hp in the C63 S. 0-100 km/h comes in 3.9
seconds, in the case of the C63 S Coupe, while top speed is limited to 250 km/h in the C63 and to 289 km/h in the C63 S.
The 2019 C63’s equipment list includes Multibeam LED
headlights, a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, a 10.25-inch connected
infotainment system, ambient lighting and more. The C63 S adds a nine-stage AMG
traction control, AMG Performance seats and more. Carbon brakes are a £ 4,285
option.
The 2019 Mercedes-AMG C63 can be ordered now in the
UK, with the first deliveries to commence in October.
