The story
Mercedes-AMG C 63 S
Mercedes-AMG revealed the W205 C 63 in 2014, ending the C 63’s naturally aspirated era. Its M177 engine is a close relative of the M178 in the AMG GT.
The S model added more power and torque, dynamic engine mounts and an electronic rear differential lock in place of the standard car’s mechanical one.
