Mercedes-Benz will rip the roof off its most potent C-Class just in time for Christmas.
MERCEDES-Benz’s relentless and predictable model proliferation plan for global domination continues with the unveiling of the AMG-badged C63 version of the new Mercedes-Benz C-Class Cabriolet at the New York Motor Show this week.
In contrast with lesser C-Class Cabriolets, the C63 S drop-top rides on a wider track and sports suspension. Its potent twin-turbo V8 teams with a single-clutch seven-speed automatic transmission and drives the rear wheels through the same wider, tougher, AMG-developed rear axle as the C63 S Coupe.
The C63 S comes with an electrically operated, three-layer fabric soft-top that – if initiated at a speed below 5km/h – can continue to close or open at up to 50km/h. When stowed in the boot, luggage capacity drops from 355 to 260 litres.
