Here is a brief Description of the C63. This is a perfect low mile car that has been garage kept and has never been driven in rain or in winter due to cinders and road salt. The underside of the car looks brand new as well. The performance is unbelievable. Shoehorning the V8 into this car was more than a matter of greasing it up and stuffing it in, though. Spitzner says, "We wanted AMG to get back into this C-class segment, but we wanted to do it right." Adopting the approach of BMW's M group and Audi's Quattro GmbH, AMG made substantial changes to the chassis. It moved the engine two inches closer to the firewall and lowered its cradle, resulting in an somewhat BMW-like front/rear weight distribution of 54/46 percent and revised suspension geometry that affords a lower roll center. While it was at it, AMG installed a longer front axle that carries a three-link front suspension twice as rigid as the base car's, paying dividends in steering and braking precision. The steering itself is quicker, with a ratio of 13.5:1 instead of 14.5:1, and it is unobtrusively speed sensitive. Our market will get standard 18-inch wheels, which make room for 14.2-inch, six-piston-front/13.0-inch, four-piston-rear cross-drilled and vented brakes. AMG also installed its Speedshift Plus transmission, a seven-speed manumatic with three modes: Comfort mode swaps gears most leisurely; Sport speeds up changes by about 30 percent; Manual is 20 percent faster still. This is the automatic that aspires to be a twin-clutch transmission - it revs to just under the fuel cut out, automatically blips the throttle for downshifts, and upshifts instantaneously, without upsetting the load balance of the car. The C63 gets a few new body panels, such as a blistered hood (not functional), and new fenders and lower aprons with lots of cooling gills and four exhaust tips (functional). Inside, the car's relatively austere origins make themselves known in the rectilinear dashboard design that, unlike other Benzes, does without much trim. The 16-way leather sport seats, however, feel like they slid off a side of Wagyu beef. There's a wonderful incongruity to this car, a kind of high-spirited ridiculousness that you don't get in the Audi RS4 or the BMW M3. Even the base A4 and 3-series cars have the kind of pliability that invite aggressive driving. The C-class, on the other hand, traditionally has been what you tell your mom to buy. So even though I went through the technical briefing before my drive, I was still expecting a mild-mannered - if very powerful - Benz, sort of a tidier and lower-riding version of the AMG R-class. That was stupid. First of all, this engine might be hand-built in Affalterbach, but it speaks in the chaw-spitting patois of Mooresville, North Carolina. Open the throttle anywhere between 2000 and 6500 rpm, and you might think you've been teleported to the stands at Charlotte, only without your beer and with all your teeth. It's all pulsing drama, bass-heavy vibrato, and window-rattling brown notes. The power delivery is heavy and locomotive-like, pulling just as strongly from 60 to 120 mph as it does from 0 to 60 - a sprint that happens, for the record, in 4.2 seconds. But it's not only fast and remarkably stable in a straight line: The chassis's reflexes feel faster than even the very quick throttle response or the reciprocating parts it controls. Turn in is as flat and crisp as a Saltine. The C63 sets up for a bend promptly, but the body is so tightly controlled that it only leans enough to humor the driver's inner ear. The brakes grip hard and fast, with a high degree of pedal feel for such a small amount of travel. Short, ultra-aggressive ride motions have no rebound, and very little harshness. In fact, the whole car has an astounding economy of motion, thanks to its ingot-like structure. And most men wish their girlfriends were as faithful and perfectly weighted as this car's steering. |

Performance cars old and new are headed to auction at Las Vegas Grand Prix
Fri, Nov 10 2023Auction house RM Sotheby's is hosting a sale ahead of the 2023 Las Vegas Formula One Grand Prix, and most of the lots that will cross the block were designed with performance in mind. Whether you want a supercar or a Formula One car, there's a chance you'll find it in Sin City. One of the highlights from the sale in terms of rarity and price is the Mercedes-AMG Petronas W04 that Lewis Hamilton drove in the 2013 F1 season. Assigned chassis number F1W04-04, it's the team's last car powered by a naturally-aspirated V8 engine, and you're on the wrong track if you're thinking of the 4.0-liter unit that powers AMG's road cars. The engine in question is a 2.4-liter unit that develops 750 horsepower and is capable of revving to a screaming 18,000 rpm. The KERS system injects 80 additional horses into the driveline. Hamilton drove F1W04-04 in 14 of the 2013 season's 19 races, and he won that year's Hungarian Grand Prix in the car. RM Sotheby's notes that F1W04-04 is "the sole example to be sold outside of the Mercedes-Benz organization," which explains why it expects the car will sell for anywhere between $10 million and $15 million excluding the buyer's fee and a 2.5% import duty that applies to American residents. That's a lot of money, but modern Formula One cars rarely come up for sale. Several other cars are expected to sell above the $1 million mark, including a 1999 Mercedes-Benz CLK GTR ($8 million to $9 million), a 1988 Porsche 959 Komfort ($1,650,000 to $1,850,000), and a 1996 Bugatti EB110 Super Sport ($2,500,000 to $3,250,000). The 1990 Ferrari F40 GT (one of 21 units built) could bring up to $4 million. You can take home a rare, high-end classic even if you cap your budget at $1 million. How about a 1984 Lamborghini Countach 5000 S that was delivered new to Ralph Lauren and that has been in the hands of its second owner since 1986? RM expects the coupe will sell for up to $900,000. The auction house is also giving enthusiasts two distinctly different ways to spend a six-digit sum on a 30-something-year-old Mercedes-Benz. There's a 1990 190E 2.5-16 Evolution with about 3,400 original miles that could fetch up to $700,000. That's a lot to pay for a W201, but this isn't a run-of-the-mill Baby Benz: It's one of 502 examples built for homologation purposes. Alternatively, the 1989 560SEC AMG 6.0 Wide-Body could sell for up to $900,000. It's one of the most emblematic cars designed by AMG before it joined Mercedes-Benz.
Autoblog Unplugged: 2015 Mercedes-Benz GLA45 AMG
Fri, Feb 6 2015Mercedes-Benz's AMG division entered new territory in late 2013 with the launch of the CLA45, an all-wheel-drive sedan (with front-wheel-drive underpinnings) motivated by a turbocharged, four-cylinder engine. But it wasn't any old turbo-four – the boosted 2.0-liter powerplant claimed the title of most powerful production four-cylinder engine. From behind the wheel, we loved its turbo-heavy antics and steer-it-with-the-throttle dynamics. Now, Mercedes offers the GLA-Class – a small crossover based on that CLA architecture. And rather than just leave it alone in GLA250 guise, the AMG folks created the tiny-tough GLA45 high-riding hatch you see here. It's got the same 355-horsepower, 332-pound-feet turbo-four underhood, a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission, and a unique sound that's unlike anything you might expect from a small CUV. That's why we took to some of our favorite backroads to capture another Autoblog Unplugged video with the GLA45. There's no talking, no music, no rizzle-razzle – just shots of the GLA45 driving down our favorite winding roads with nothing but the sweet, throaty sounds of the AMG powerplant. Good luck holding back your giggles when you hear the braaap of a quick gear-change. Mercedes-Benz Crossover Luxury Performance Videos mercedes gla-class mercedes gla45 amg
Wingsuits are somehow involved in new season of 'Top Gear'
Mon, Jan 14 2019It's a shame that Matt LeBlanc is leaving "Top Gear," but there's a bit of solace in the situation: There's still one more season of him as frontman. BBC just released the new trailer for series 26, and it shows LeBlanc, Chris Harris and Rory Reid getting into all sorts of shenanigans around the globe. "Top Gear" announced LeBlanc's imminent departure back in May 2018, but he still had to finish one more season before leaving. Thus, the upcoming series will be his last, and it looks like he'll go out in a whirlwind of dust, bent metal, water spray and burnt rubber. The trailer shows everything expected from a season of the storied automotive show (well, everything except Hammond, May, and Clarkson, if you're one of those people). There will be precision driving, dubious stunts, name-calling and gobs of stunning videography. In the short one-minute clip, there are flashes of numerous attention-piquing vehicles. The new Bentley Continental GT, a Bentley Le Mans racer, Porsches, Ferraris, the Aston Martin Vantage, and the Mercedes-AMG GT all make appearances. And for some random fun, the boys are seen in wingsuits (doubtful it's actually them), and playing polo in some three-wheel rickshaws (before wrecking said rickshaws). We'll update with more information as soon as we know when the show will start.
