Consumer Reports Test Drives the Mercedes C63 AMG
Today we found a great article over at Consumer Reports about the Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG. Below we featured a snippet of the article and included the video in which Consumer Reports’ auto engineer, Jake Fisher, checks out the 481hp, 6.2-liter Mercedes-Benz C63. Enjoy! 
“The C-Class is Mercedes’ smallest sedan, but with this special model, it gets the company’s largest V8 engine. That’s a formula that worked magic in the 1960s, launching the muscle car era, and it is a strategy that still fuels excitement today. The transformation is managed by AMG, a wholly owned speedshop that modifies Benzes into fierce, high-performance monsters, much like BMW’s M division.
To sample the fun factory’s latest creation, we borrowed a C63 from Mercedes-Benz for a fee. This 2011 example had the optional AMG Development package that adds 30 horsepower to the standard 451 horses. It also adds $6,050 to the $58,200 base price.”
