2008 Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG

Edmunds Inside Line has done a full test on the 2008 Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG. The C63 AMG is powered by a 6.2L v8 engine that can produce 451hp and 443 lb-ft of torquue. It can boost to 60mhp in 4.4 seconds.

Edmunds writes:

What Works:
Powerful 451-horsepower V8 engine; deep, burbling exhaust note any hot-rodder would kill for; driving character meant for high school hooligans.

What Needs Work:
AMG performance suspension too stiff for daily use; limited-slip differential only available with the performance suspension; floating speedo needle is hard to read, especially at night.

Bottom Line:
This is the most fun we’ve had in a Mercedes in a long time. Simply hearing the engine is a gut-level thrill.
