When we talk about the high-performance capabilities of the Mercedes C63 AMG, it refers to the fact that these cars have the capacity of reaching a top speed of 174 miles per hour. This is quite fast for a road car. The road editions have all been electronically limited in the maximum speed that they can achieve. The top speed has been set at 155 mph for both editions. Actually, the S Sedan without the electronic limitation would otherwise be able to reach a speed of 180 miles per hour.
3. The fuel economy isn’t bad
While some drivers who are looking for the best possible fuel economy and settle for a lower performing vehicle, that’s not the way that Mercedes is rolling with the C63 AMG. It’s a high-performance car and although it doesn’t get 40 mpg, it does very well considering its powerful engine and fast acceleration time. The fuel economy averages 25 mpg on the highway and 18 mpg for city driving. The combined fuel economy is rated at 21.

The AMG C63 is coming out with a 4.0-liter V8 twin-turbocharged engine. You’ll be able to choose from a 469 horsepower edition in the C63. If this isn’t enough power for you, then we recommend making the C63S your choice with a 503 horsepower engine which is a little higher in performance.

10. The 2019 C63 AMG has Magical traction
This is the claim that some analysts are making about the new traction control that is coming out in the 2019 and latest edition of the C63 AMG. It does sound fairly impressive that the new traction control system is a nine-step innovation. It is the same system that was installed in the GT R supercar in 2016. It’s going to be easy to activate it by switching off the stability control. This will be located on the center console button with an additional switch for this action set up as a steering wheel toggle. What it does is control the amount of torque that is delivered to the rear tires. It will provide the optimum amount of grip to help avoid wheelspin and oversteer.
