The Mercedes-Benz C-Class Coupé has been confirmed by the Stuttgart automaker and will make its debut sometime in 2011. The model will be built at the company’s Bremen plant. News coming out of the UK now says that Mercedes-Benz is considering a C63 AMG Coupé that will compete with the likes of the BMW M3 and the Audi RS5.
The C63 AMG Coupé will debut shortly after the C-Class Coupé and will be powered by the company’s 6,2-litre V8 engine mated to a 7-speed MCT (multi-clutch transmission). The setup will also be used on the facelifted C63 sedan when is arrives sometime next year.
According an AMG source, the AMG Coupé was conceived as a direct rival to the Audi RS5 and BMW M3. “We’re looking to up the power beyond that of today’s C63 AMG. It’s safe to say it will be the most powerful of the three,” the AMG source said.
Rumours suggest that Mercedes-Benz may even release a C63 AMG Coupé Black Series!
