Mercedes C63 AMG
This is the all new Mercedes C63 AMG in spectacular white, with one of the most awe inspiring engines available.
As impressive as the outright performance – with 451bhp from a 6.2-litre V8, it’s not exactly lacking – is the accessibility. Whatever speed you’re doing, in whatever gear, full throttle summons a sledgehammer of torque, 369lb ft anywhere between 2000 and 6250rpm and if you happen to be near 5000rpm the full 443lb ft.
But there’s a lot more to this car than a mighty engine and effortless cruising credentials. The C-Class is blessed with the sort of handling balance that vindicates a preference for rear-wheel drive cars, and the C63’s considerable extra poke has done nothing to upset this.
On the road the turn-in is keen and controlled via a natural, feelsome steering now complete with a chunky DTM style wheel and a quick 2.5 turns. It’s at the track that things turn considerably more interesting, for even without the optional limited slip differential, the C63 is happy to wag its tail with the best of them.
Despite carrying really rather serious speeds, the C’s is so remarkably well balanced it positively encourages you to push harder, without harbouring any nasty surprises.
