2014 Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG Edition 507

The Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG models are becoming even more dynamic: the AMG high-performance cars are being fitted with an AMG 6.3-litre V8 engine with increased output as exclusive “Edition 507” models. The increase of 37 kW / 50 hp now brings output to 373 kW / 507 hp with a maximum torque of 610 Nm, and is a result of a technology transfer from the SLS AMG: the eight-cylinder naturally aspirated engine from the super sports car features forged pistons, connecting rods and a lightweight crankshaft. An AMG high-performance composite braking system with red brake callipers is fitted as standard.

The Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG “Edition 507” produces 373 kW / 507 hp, and accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 4.2 seconds in the guise of the Saloon and Coupé, and in 4.3 seconds as the Estate. As such it outperforms the 336 kW / 457 hp standard model by two tenths of a second, and the variants with the AMG Performance package which produce 358 kW / 487 hp by one tenth of a second each. The top speed of all variants is 280 km/h (electronically limited): this is because as standard the “Edition 507” models are fitted with the AMG Driver’s package.

Externally, the Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG “Edition 507” is characterised by a host of exclusive design features: most notable among these is the bonnet – it originates from the C63 AMG Coupé Black Series. Two openings in the distinctive aluminium bonnet help with expelling engine heat. New AMG light-alloy cross-spoke wheels with tyres in sizes 235/35 R 19 (front) and 255/30 R 19 (rear) are another exclusive feature of the “Edition 507”. The AMG light-alloy wheels are produced using particularly lightweight forging technology and are available in two variants: painted in titanium grey with a high-sheen finish, or matt black with high-sheen rim flanges.
