C63 AMG.
« on: December 23, 2012, 08:02:56 am »
Oh my F wording god......followed one of these (Coupe version) yesterday for a while, even driving at reasonable speed in my car and at a safe distance the noise coming from that thing was unbelievable, I eventually got right behind him at a T junction and he totally nailed it away, back end stepped out and I actually think when I heard the roar a little bit of wee came out.............want, want, want the estate version.

When i was at school in year 10 i did work experience at a local mercedes dealership and one of the days i was on pdi we went out in the estate version (5 years ago) we hit 145mph and the seats kind of suck you in the side bulsters squeeze you tight it was an absolute mad car but they are alot of money!

My Dads mate has got one of these.

Is an awesome car but........ he says its the sort of car you could borrow from a mate for a weekend and have a great time and never stop grinning. However having to live with it is not so much fun. He is currently averaging 18mpg in it. Also the power is far too much for a family saloon on uk roads. One moment of over zealous driving and you either end up crapping yourself or checking your mirrows for fear of the police catching you and taking your license away.

A car like this real needs to be a weekend car but if thats what your looking for i would much prefer something like a 911 turbo.

I'd struggle to get the dog and the baby in the back of a 911 turbo though..... :happy2:

It's a shame the 6.2 AMG V8 is no more - I wonder how much the turbos on the new 5.5 Bi-Turbo V8 mute the sound

Thats what I worry about, plus its just not the same.

C63 AMG coupe will be a 2nd hand bargain in 3-4 years

Not a lot, I've heard the CLS 63 AMG (new one) and it sounded pretty much the same. Makes you wonder how Mercedes managed to do it and BMW didn't. Very complicated stuff apparently.

I've had the pleasure of driving the C63 AMG Coupe (facelift) and C63 AMG Black Series Coupe on track at MB World and they're very exciting cars to drive, thoroughly enjoyable.

The Saloon C63 can be had for good money and I imagine that'll only become better value in years to come, like the B7 Audi RS4's are now.

Mine is getting registered and tracker fitted on 1st march and picking up on 2nd March. :D

The joys of working for a company with an awesome car scheme in conjunction with Mercedes.  :happy2:

I hope that wasn't a brand new car that you took out and took to 145mph.....or is it part of the official run in on an engine like that?  :laugh:

These things really float my boat at the moment :love:, would have to be the saloon or estate for me the coupe does'nt do it for me.

I think I could live with 18mpg given the fact its a 6.2 litre engine, not so sure about all the other running costs imagine what brakes all round would cost you and how much to change a clutch!!

Having said that if you could find one thats just been serviced with new brakes and tyres, then why not run one for a year then sell it on.....
