Mercedes C63 AMG

The current Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG may be in the autumn of its years, but it's still one of our very favourite sport sedans. Ever.

Buyers wanting a little more power from a standard Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG now have the all-new Edition 507 to lust after.

Unlike the Black Series, the 2014 C63 AMG Edition 507 will be offered in both ...

Chris Harris took to a snowy stretch of tarmac to get a fingertips-on-the-wheel feel of the Volvo S60 Polestar concept.

Everyone hates being trapped in traffic! There's nothing worse than spending a few boring hours stuck in total gridlock, especially when you're behind the wheel of a C63 AMG. This Mercedes owner clearly had enough of the slow moving rush hour pace. Watch as this driver promptly takes aggressive lane changing maneuvers to the next level by drifting ...

We've already watched Motor Trend's 2012 Best Driver's Car competition numerous times, and like us, apparently many M/T viewers had questions about the week-long, nine-car comparison. Not wanting to disappoint its audience, the crew got together to enjoy a few pints while reflecting on the experience and respond to viewer questions during an episode of ...

One thing the Luxury Supercar Weekend didn't have at the event was apparently a car control school. In an Autoblog Canada exclusive, we have a report of a second crash that occurred within a few feet of the Ferrari F40 crash we reported on yesterday. We showed off video of the aftermath from the F40 incident but here we have on-the-scene photos of the ...

Our old pal Jonny Lieberman gets to have all the fun. The former Autoblog editor now gets to play with multiple supercars at a time for his post at Motor Trend. As part of MT's Best Driver's Car award process, Lieberman and the rest of the magazine's team quarter-mile all of the year's contenders in what they call "The World's Greatest Drag Race." Based ...

If you've been sitting on your hands mulling over the idea of spending $125,000 on a Mercedes-Benz C-Class, we've got some bad news for you: your time is up. That's because, according to reports coming in from Europe, the German automaker has sold out every last example of the C63 AMG Black Series coupe.

With 6.2 litres of capacity and 510 horsepower on tap, the Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG Black Series would be enough for most any speed freak to play around with.
