Mercedes Amg C63 Coupe 2019 First Drive: Once More, With Feeling
Bilster Berg is an absolute monster of a track. Nestled in a hilly pocket of Middle of Nowhere, Germany, the 2.6-mile race course is like a rollercoaster for cars. Its 19 turns are largely blind, with super quick elevation changes that challenge even the most skilled drivers. And in a sports car as ferocious as Mercedes' notoriously unhinged AMG C63, the experience is as delightful as it is terrifying.
Right from the start, the AMG C63 roars to life with a demeanor more Mustang GT350 than prim-and-proper Mercedes-Benz . The 4.0-liter biturbo V8 engine carries over unchanged for 2019, with 469 horsepower and 479 pound-feet of torque in its standard spec, or 503 horsepower and 516 pound-feet in S guise. It's still as grumbly and burbly as ever, with two levels of exhaust volume that really ought to just be branded "loud" and "louder."
The C63 eschews its seven-speed automatic transmission for 2019; in its place, there's a new nine-speed AMG Speedshift gearbox. This dual-clutch transmission uses a wet clutch design that allows for smoother starts without the need for a torque converter. Plus, with two additional ratios in its gear set, you'll likely enjoy a little bit better fuel economy, though official EPA data is still forthcoming.
You'll notice the tiniest bit of lag off the line, but when the C63 S' full 516 pound-feet smacks you at 2,000 rpm, there's no turning back. You'll be able to buy both versions of the C63 as a sedan, coupe or cabriolet in the US, and in S spec, all three will rocket to 60 miles per hour in under four seconds.
Bombing Bilster Berg
On track, the C63 S sedan and coupe are mostly indistinguishable from behind the wheel. The C63 S sedan has a roughly 200-pound weight advantage over the coupe, but the two-door has a slightly lower center of gravity. You'll notice small amounts of roll in both while cornering hard, but neither car really feels far and away superior to the other, even driven back to back. Both wag their tail a little if you mash the throttle from a standstill -- a good reminder that, while the majority of Mercedes' AMG models have moved to 4Matic all-wheel drive, the C63 retains a rear-drive setup.
In Sport mode with the traction control on, there's still enough playfulness that the C63 will slide its rump 'round a corner, the limited-slip differential making sure things don't get too out of hand. Opt for the S model and it'll come with the AMG Traction Control first used in the GT R coupe, with nine different levels of slip prevention.
The C63's thick-rimmed steering wheel feels great in my hand, with large, metal shift paddles that offer satisfying action while swapping cogs. The steering has a touch of on-center deadness that you really only notice on long straights (or, off track, on the highway), but there's no shortage of feedback or weight while hanging on during Bilster Berg's long, back sweeper, or knowing exactly where your wheels are on the deceptively tight, decreasing radius left-hander leading into the start/finish line.
C63 S models can be fitted with ceramic composite front brakes that offer incredible performance and no signs of fade after an afternoon of track time. Stopping power is strong and solid, with surefooted initial bite and progressive pedal response. The C63 will dive a little under heavy braking, and given the tail-happy nature, there isn't a lot of room for error should you brake too late going into a turn. But set the car up properly before turning in and you'll enjoy incredible grip from the Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires, with a little controllable slide as a devilish reward.,etc
