Mercedes-AMG C 63 S launched at Rs 1.30 crore

Adding to its salvo of launches, Mercedes has just rolled out the AMG C 63 S in India priced at Rs 1.30 crore (ex-showroom, Delhi). It is the AMG-treated version of the C-class sedan, and as the name suggests, is in the S avatar which makes it slightly more powerful than the C 63. The Mercedes-AMG C 63 S is the 11th model in the brand’s '15 in 15' product strategy for the year.

Unveiled at the 2014 Paris motor show, the C 63 S is powered by the 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 engine as on the AMG GT S, and makes 503bhp and 71.4kgm of torque. Transmission duties are held by a seven-speed AMG SpeedShift gearbox. The C 63 S boasts of a 0-100kph sprint time of around 4 seconds, before going on to an electronically limited top whack of 250kph.

It has the quintessential AMG body kit and unique alloy designs. In the cabin, there’s plenty of carbon fibre and Alcantara that’s been used, the sport seats get contrasting stitching, and it features a flat-bottomed steering wheel. The interior can be further spruced up by customising the car with Merc’s optional Designo program.

The Mercedes-AMG C 63 S will be imported as CBU, and takes on the likes of the BMW M3.
