(February 4, 2013) MONTVALE, N.J. — The Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG models are becoming even more aggressive with the addition of a newly developed "Edition 507." The output of the AMG 6.3 liter V8 engine has been increased by 56 horsepower, bringing the output to 507 horsepower with 450 lb.-ft. of torque.

The 2014 C63 AMG “Edition 507” uses much of the same technology as the SLS AMG: the eight-cylinder naturally aspirated engine features forged pistons, connecting rods and a lightweight crankshaft as seen on the super sports car.



An AMG high-performance compound construction braking system with red brake calipers is fitted as standard. The C63 AMG "Edition 507" will be available this summer and is designed to appeal to ambitious drivers who take pleasure in best-in-class technology as well as exclusive design and sporty handling.

Mercedes says the C63 AMG "Edition 507" accelerates from 0-60 in 4.1 seconds. This new model outperforms the existing 451 hp C63 model by three-tenths of a second, and the variants with the AMG Development Package which produce 481 horsepower by two-tenths of a second. In addition to an increase in top speed to 174 mph, the “Edition 507” also includes a voucher for a driver training session at the AMG Driving Academy.

The increase in power output to 507 hp at 6800 rpm comes courtesy of the modified inner workings of the AMG 6.3-liter V8 engine. The forged pistons adopted from the SLS AMG, together with new connecting rods and a lightweight crankshaft, translate into a weight saving of 6.6 pounds. The reduction of rotational mass inertia improves the agility of the eight-cylinder M156 naturally aspirated engine. The maximum torque has also increased by 7 lb.-ft., jumping from 443 lb.-ft. to 450 lb.-ft. at 5200 rpm.

The titanium grey-painted variable intake manifold is a characteristic feature of the uprated V8 engine. A new engine control system rounds off the series of implemented powertrain measures.

The exterior of the C63 AMG "Edition 507" is characterized by exclusive new design features. Most notable of the features is the hood — it originates from the C63 AMG Coupe Black Series. Two openings in the distinctive aluminum hood help with expelling engine heat.

The spoiler lip on the trunk lid, the exterior mirror housings as well as the
surrounds on the radiator grille and daytime running lights are all finished in high-gloss black. Available as an option for the C63 AMG "Edition 507" is an exclusive designo magno platinum matte finish paint.
