Mercedes-Benz C-class

 

 

 

 

 

 

Specifications: Consider the C-class as all that Mercedes knows about full-size luxury, distilled into a smaller package. As a coupe, it offers a 201-hp turbo four-cylinder or a 302-hp V-6 and rear-wheel drive; as a sedan, it can be had with a 241-hp turbo four or a 329-hp twin-turbo V-6. All feature a seven-speed automatic. Both sedans have all-wheel drive; a rear-wheel-drive sedan with the 241-hp engine is available. In the fall of 2015 a C450 AMG with a 362-hp V-6 will go on sale, as will a plug-in hybrid.

Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG

 

 

Specifications: The C63 AMG coupe is the final place of refuge for Benz's 451-hp, naturally aspirated 6.2-liter V-8. With its sharp throttle response and unholy roar, the engine makes Mercedes’ smallest rear-drive coupe feel as if it’s eaten a jar full of hot peppers laced with steroids. Want more of a kick? The C63 also offers the 507 Edition with 507 hp. An all-new, rechristened Mercedes-AMG C63 sedan—based on the new C-class—is coming soon; a twin-turbo 4.0-liter V-8 will replace the legendary 6.2.
