Are you tired of the measly 363 horsepower C55 AMG? Do you sit  
cowering in the corner at night worried that BMW's upcoming M3 will  
run circles around your poor little C-Class?  To view a picture,

If rumors are true, you may soon be able to rest a little easier.  
Autocar has captured what are believed to be photos of an upcoming  
Mercedes C63 AMG. Yes, that's right... no more puny 5.5-Liter 363  
horsepower V8 producing 376 lb-ft of torque; real men want an earth- 
bending 6.3-Liter 510 horsepower V8 producing 465 lb-ft of torque.

What this means in plain English:  this car will be fast, very fast.

Now before you get your hopes up, I must warn you - Autocar is also  
reporting the C63 probably won't be scheduled for series production.   
It will, however, be produced in limited numbers, for 'preferred'  
customers.

What this means in plain English:  you gotta be rich, very rich.

Oh well, I guess that exludes me. You know, I could always opt for  
the 2.5-Liter 201 horsepower C230, throw a C63 badge on it, and tell  
everyone I'm too cool to drive fast... or not.

As always, stay tuned to eMercedesBenz and we'll keep you updated if  
we get any more details on the C63.
