Can a turbocharged Mercedes-AMG C63 S be as good as the naturally aspirated champion?
For the past two decades, the Australian Formula One Grand Prix has called Melbourne home. Each year, the motorsport carnival completely shuts down public access to the Albert Park reserve for about a week. For the rest of the year, the golf course, parklands, lake and sporting complexes are used daily by many Melbournians. The suburban roads that make up the 5...
The best iteration of the Mercedes-AMG C63 yet despite the downsized engine. It's almost faultless. Almost...
BMW M Division is the master of toying with magic these days. Here is the brand new BMW M4 we’ve been driving for less than an hour, at 100km/h on Melbourne’s Monash freeway while the official launch is still happening in New Zealand, and the trip computer is reading 6.8 litres per 100 kilometres...

Read the article here. Any notion that perhaps the latest Mercedes-AMG C 63 S is perhaps a little too sedate with its styling is immediately put to rest with this, the all new C63 S Coupé. With flared front and rear wheel arches, a wider track and larger wheels, it is a decidedly more masculine look than the sedan version...
The very moment the new Mercedes-AMG C63 rumbles to life, any notion this monster has been diminished by downsizing the V8 is immediately smashed. In fact, its rumble is more like the deep, ground shaking burble of a battle tank than any four-door luxury sedan. And that’s while its still sitting idle. On the move, well just listen to this...
The C-Class is Mercedes-AMG's best-selling model series and forms the backbone of the company's success. Since its launch in 2011, the Coupé version has steadily gained in significance, culminating with the C 63 AMG Coupé "Black Series"...

Mercedes-Benz Australia has recalled five vehicles from the current W205 series C-Class line. The small handful of vehicles sold between August 1, 2014 and October 31, 2014, are being recalled over concerns of a fire risk as a result of faulty battery wiring. Mercedes-Benz reports that an isolated manufacturing fault may have deviated the threaded connection of the battery’s ground line...
The limited production Mercedes-AMG C63 Coupe Edition 1 has been unveiled ahead of its public debut at the Frankfurt motor show. As with previous Edition 1 models, the new C63 coupe version is available with certain styling features that will be unavailable on future production cars.

Here it is, the 2016 Mercedes-AMG C63 Coupe, revealed in full ahead of its world premiere at the Frankfurt motor show in a few weeks and slated Australian launch in mid-2016. The absolute pinnacle of the newly revealed Mercedes-Benz C-Class Coupe range serves as a two-doored counterpoint to the Mercedes-AMG C63 sedan and wagon models just rolling into Australia now...
Images that are claimed to be of the upcoming Mercedes-AMG C63 S coupe have been published online. After a series of spy photos and officially sanctioned teasers, the new Mercedes-AMG C63 and C63 S coupe will be officially unveiled and launched in just a few days time. Overnight, though, Zero2Turbo managed to obtain and publish two photos of the new performance coupe in all its showroom-ready glory...
I have owned this car for almost four years now, and I must say this is one of the best cars I've owned in my lifetime. This car can do sharp turns without losing control and it is very stable. It has great torque compared to the previous models. With its 6.2-litre engine, you can overtake any cars on the road with ease, so be careful of the speed cameras...
My previous car ownership consisted of mainly Japanese performance vehicles - WRX; Evo; s2000; Civic B Series. So, as I got older I wanted something nicer, something less Spartan. I then spent a few years in a Volkswagen Golf GTi MK6. Nicely built car but had some reliability issues. But that's another story. So when it came time to look for a new car, I decided on a C63 estate...
Get behind the wheel of a Mercedes C63 AMG coupe and it takes only 10 minutes on the road to come to some inevitable conclusions, the first and foremost being that this car is one very special piece of machinery. As soon as you fire up the 6.3 liter V8, you are met with a sonorous and distinctly AMG crack and burble not dissimilar to something you would expect from a NASCAR racer...
