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.

After much anticipation and speculation, Mercedes-Benz has finally taken the wraps off the new C-Class Coupe. Slipping in underneath the E-Class Coupe, the C-Class Coupe is essentially a C-Class sedan with two fewer doors and a lower roofline.

It will be offered with two engines: the C250 with its 1.8-liter direct-injection turbo four and the C350 with the 3.5-liter V6. Both come with a seven-speed automatic transmission and rear-wheel drive, with an AMG version expected to follow in April at the New York Auto Show. This model, however, will be unveiled at the rapidly approaching Geneva Motor Show, now just a few weeks away.

Mercedes-Benz C-Class Coupe Leaks Out Before Geneva Motor Show

You may have noticed that Mercedes-Benz killed off the CLK model line a couple of years ago. In its place came the triumphant return of the E-Class coupe and convertible. Here's the thing, though: the CLK was originally envisioned as a two-door to bridge the gap between the C-Class and E-Class. And here we very well may have our answer.

Expected to debut at the Geneva Motor Show in March, these images of the upcoming C-Class Coupe have leaked out a little ahead of schedule. And if they're anything to go by, the German automaker could have a real winner on its hands. It's expected to preview a facelift for the sedan and wagon of the same family as well, with a new front-end featuring prominent LED lighting, with engines potentially including four, six and eight cylinders. We'll have to wait another couple of months before firm details arrive, but in the meantime you can view the images in the gallery below for a preview.
