Tobias Moers is the big boss. And as Tobias Moers is the big boss, the latest C63 AMG Mercedes-present features a limited-slip differential and transmission to keep the driver input as a standard option in this car.
Detail is certainly very important, because it represents the main idea of ​​the brands carried. AMG has been wrestling in the world for 21 years, Moers be a big boss who understand the typical people who drive a car with a character like this. He said there was a "change in mindset" since he occupied the post of Chairman of AMG in 2013. The mindset that promotes the involvement of the driver is much higher.
Previously, the feature limited-slip differential is optional on C63 option. Moers think that should you have to have as a standard feature on the new car, so he did. "I have a big responsibility, in the scale of the business," he said. Plus, do not allow the Mercedes before transmission downshift if the engine rotation will be closer to redline. That function is theoretically useful if you are going back to accelerate, but frustrating when deceleration in the circuit, and the need to press the lever left four or five times until finally the downshift occurs. Now, you will get the gear ratio according to expectations.
You ask, and you get. Replicate the decision on all the details of vehicles, then this is one of the latest super-saloon with amazingly quick responsiveness. Seeing breed, the latest C63 has always been the same person: Mercedes-Benz answer to the BMW M3 and Audi RS4. However, different from BMW, is still using the latest version of the V8 engine, and distinct from the Audi, as fixed priority rear-wheel drive.
V8 engine "has always been a key demand of our customers", says Moers. And underneath, then "active driving character" becomes the next request, which, incidentally, is only obtained from the rear-wheel drive car.
This car also has the latest generation of machines that are more compact than engine 6.2 liter naturally-aspirated V8 earlier. Kitchen runway is taken from the latest Mercedes-AMG GT, then embedded into the engine room C63. The engine may be a smaller capacity, but the fact remains C63 engine room look crowded. Then, different from AMG GT with dry-sump system, using a wet-sump C63. But other features, such as the turbocharger in the middle of the V-cylinder engine remains the same for the sake of better responsiveness and performance.
Still the same as the GT, there are two "flavors": C63-powered 469 hp with a tag of around US $ 91,000, and the model that is present in these pages, 503 hp C63 S were sold at a price of approximately US $ 101,000. We tested the sedan models, but you can also get real models, which we have to look more beautiful, more proportional, and more tempting.
Differences in both models, apart from energy, are also present in other sectors. The suspension of both remains the same, coil sprung four-link front and multi-link in the rear, but the C63 standard has a limited-slip differential and conventional 18-inch, while the S model has an additional control of the differential electronic, alloy wheels 19 inches, and larger brake discs (390 mm front and 360 mm at the rear).
The thing to remember, these two models are in the spectrum of the highest in its class. M3 and RS4 has a power of less than 450 hp and Lexus RC F even if only stands at 471 hp. No one touched the figure of 500 hp in addition to the C63 S with capabilities 0-100 kph in 4.0 seconds, and its top speed of 250 kph, or 290 kph (with optional speed-limiter disabled).
Snout slightly longer than the other C-Class, and larger air inlets course required for the second turbocharger that require fresh air intake. Engine power is transmitted to the transmission 7-speed MCT-not berkopling double, but more similar to an automatic transmission berkopling wet without frills torque converter.
On the inside, just like all the C-Class, the C63 is so beautiful cabin. High quality and exceptional comfort when sitting in the seats supportive. Once familiar, turn the key, and the roaring sound began to sound.
This is the reason why the V8 engine still get a high demand from customers of Mercedes-Benz. The use of turbochargers often makes the engine more polite voice, but not for this machine unit. It sounded like the classic V8 engine that is loud, loud, and heard up into the cabin-if you're a bit stuck with the muffler settings.
There are various modes for a variety of things in the C63. I prefer when the car was acting according character, but I realize there are things difficult when the car is a super-saloon-type driving at a speed of 80 kph on public roads, but also ready to conduct drifting on the track circuit.
So I set the Comfort setting, and this option will remain active mode when the machine is turned on again the maximum within four hours after the last shut down. In addition to Comfort, there is also a Sport mode, Sport +, Individual or the S model is Race mode. These modes make the suspension stiffer, heavier steering, engine response becomes more fierce, more gahar exhaust sound, and of course, the ESP system started to give the green light so that the car skidded.
On public roads, Comfort mode is primary. Not too comfortable, to be honest, but comfortable enough if it is based on the original characters. Soundproofing feels good, just a little fishing adrenaline at medium engine rotation. Slamming the suspension is also quite soft and not have to worry about your coffee gets spilled in the car. Claims fuel in combination are in the number 12 kpl, but the reality is far from that number. Trip-computer screen in front of me only able to show a 5.9 kpl numbers only.
It is inevitable, because the main entertainment would appear when you continue to go faster-and you really want it. Wide versatility in all the streets makes the C63 so compelling and brilliant at all levels thanks to the exceptional dynamic settings. You can even create a softer damper settings, but the extra voice loud exhaust, and so on.
Soft suspension and damper was calming in a third trip. But when the streets begin fine-textured, body control and a new start to look very nice. C63 steering gives good feedback, with a degree of firmness, weight, and a fitting response from the electric system.
Accelerator pedal response was also not impressive to the addition of induction machines. From the low round though, there is a gradual distribution of power, to touch the 7,000 rpm redline with a better response. On public roads you will "craze" that the car continues to touch the redline, and believe me you'll do as a repetition-this is why the C63 should have an exciting engine sound while driving. This car, in my opinion, is much better than its rivals. Driving and control topnotch, with little intervention from the rate differential to straighten out after you circled a roundabout (roundabouts).
I need time to bring the car directly with its rivals on the circuit to determine the capability at the threshold. I already confirmed it by saying that, yes, this car is so frightening in the track circuit. If you buy it, you have to drive it on the track circuit. There was little reaction understeer, but all the road cars always have it. Yet control is still easy if you apply slight brake pedal board while still cornering.
From there, the C63 provides a sense of the car front-engined, rear-wheel drive, wheelbase fit, have limited-slip differential, wild energy, and ability to maneuver according the wishes of the driver. Normal, neutral, until craze though, the rear wheels will continue smoldering. Steering gives confidence to you, and the pedal will provoke that drifting techniques continue to do anywhere. Do not forget, the C63 will also downshift as you wish-though still have further accelerated the response, and refined performance when maneuvering.
I'll try to have it. In fact I would have it as much as possible. Moers knows very well how to create a car as he knew duties as the big boss.
