Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG Coupe

Just a month after lifting the veil on the new C-Class coupe, German automaker Mercedes-Benz has released its latest hot rod.

The C63 AMG Coupe brings all the hallmarks of the freshly revised for 2012 C63 AMG sedan into a two-door format. The coupe packs a 6.2-liter V8 producing 451 horsepower for a 4.4 second 0-60 time and a 155 mph top speed, or equipped with the optional AMG Development package, 481hp for a 4.3-second sprint to 60 and a 174 mph top speed.

Upgraded aerodynamics, interior, wheels, tires, brakes and suspension are also part of the vehicle slated to debut next month at the New York Auto Show in Manhattan's Javitz Center.
