Mercedes-AMG C63 S arrives in Malaysia from RM698,888!

Mercedes-Benz Malaysia today welcomed the arrival of the all-new Mercedes-AMG C63 S, the most powerful V8 model in its segment. Former F1-driver and DTM driver for Mercedes-AMG, Jean Alesi, was also present at the event.

According to Mark Raine, Vice President, Sales & Marketing Passenger Cars, Mercedes-Benz Malaysia. “With around 40,000 units sold globally, the C 63 AMG in the 204 series was the best-selling AMG model. We are continuing this success story with the new Mercedes-AMG C 63, and are very proud to be introducing this to the Malaysian customers today. Whether in terms of power, driving dynamics or appointments: the Mercedes-AMG C 63 sets new standards and will further reinforce our brand claim of “Driving Performance”. AMG customers can look forward to an extraordinarily dynamic driving experience.”

The C63 has an exceptional status in the competitive line-up as it is the only models in its segment to be powered by an 8-cylinder biturbo engine that delivers 510hp and 700Nm of torque. Mated to AMG’s Speedshift MCT 7-speed sports transmission, the engine allows the C63 S to sprint from 0 to 100 km/h in 4.0 seconds and reach a top speed of 250 km/h, or 290 km/h with the optional AMG Driver’s Package.

The AMG Speedshift MCT 7-speed sports transmission is also offered in a wide variety of transmission modes. There is a choice between “Comfort”, “Sport”, “Sport +” and “Individual” – also “Race” exclusively for the C 63 S. The driver can selects their preferred transmission mode using the AMG Dynamic Select switch and the transmission modes define the gearshift times, and therefore noticeably modify the driving characteristics.
