    2012 Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG Coupe Revealed

    Mercedes-Benz just revealed photos of the C63 AMG coupe which will be landing in showrooms this fall as a 2012 model.  Thanks to autoweek.com we have information on the 2012 C63 AMG coupe!

    “Power is drawn from AMG’s four-year old M156 engine. In standard guise, the naturally aspirated 6.2-liter V8 kicks out 451 hp along with 443 lb-ft of torque–sufficient to eclipse the M3’s naturally aspirated 4.0-liter V8 by 37 hp and a generous 148 lb-ft.  Drive runs through AMG’s seven-speed MCT (multiclutch transmission), a development of Mercedes-Benz’s 7G-tronic unit that adds a wet clutch in place of the torque converter, and a 2.85:1 final drive to the rear wheels. Official figures put the 0-to-62-mph sprint at 4.4-seconds–half a second inside the time BMW quotes for the M3. Top speed, as with all standard AMG models, is limited to 155 mph.”

    The 2012 Mercedes-Benz GL SUV was caught winter testing in Sweden recently.  Thanks to eMercedesBenz we have some spy shots and info on the 2012 GL SUV!  These spy shots reveal the front of the GL-Class, giving us a good glimpse of the headlights and a larger R-Class style grille.  The next GL SUV will be larger than its predecessor and will also be offered with a wide range of petrol on turbo-diesel engines.  Additionally we may be able to expect an AMG version of the GL-Class SUV, which would use the 537 bhp twin-turbo 5.5 litre V8. Additional engine options are likely to include a twin-turbo 4.6-liter V8 with 435 PS (320 kW / 429 HP) and a 3.0-liter turbo-diesel with up to 258 PS (190 kW / 255 HP).

    Thanks to eMercedesBenz we have official photos of the 2012 Mercedes-Benz C-Class that were just revealed online prior to its public debut at the Geneva Motor Show.  The new Mercedes Coupe will be hitting the U.S. in September.

    Similarly based off the C-Class sedan’s mechanical package with 113-inch wheelbase, the new coupe retains the same basic styling as the four-door sedan, but with a sportier two-door layout and a 1.6” lower roofline.  The C-Class Coupe will have B-pillars, a feature not seen on the Mercedes-Benz E-Class Coupe.

    Two standard versions of the C-Class Coupe are planned for sale in North America including the entry-level C250 CGI with a 201-hp turbocharged 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine and the C350 CGI with a 302-hp naturally aspirated V6 engine – a model that should boast a 0-to-62-mph acceleration in 6.0 seconds.

Promising unique style and performance, the C63 AMG is expected to hold its own in the auto world. It’s clear that the new C63 AMG will sport re-designed wheels, grills and bumpers, along with the interior featuring a true AMG look and feel.

    Mechanically, the new C63 AMG promises improved handling, a 6.2-liter V8 that offers up 457 horsepower and 442 lb.-ft. of torque from its naturally-aspirated tuning. And that’s not all; the new C63 AMG is apparently capable of going from 0 to 60 in 4.5 seconds for the Sedan and 4.6 for the Estate model. We’re also pleased to hear that the new C63 AMG boasts a 10 percent improvement in fuel economy!
