The Mercedes-AMG GLC and the GLC Coupe have been on the market for a while, so "everybody" was waiting on the AMG version of these cars. And honestly, we thought that these versions were still far from coming. So we were surprised when we received the email this morning with the launch announcement of the GLC 63 and the GLC 63 Coupe. For the size of these cars, they are getting a lot of power under the hood, and this will be fun!
For the first time AMG is giving a mid-size SUV the power V8 biturbo engines. The 4.0 liter V8 has two power variants, one with 476 hp and the other with 510 hp. The 0-62 mph acceleration of these monsters happens in 3.8 seconds and that is blazing fast for a car like this! The topspeed is limited to 155 mph (250 km/h) but all you have to do is contact Brabus to remove that!
The Performance SUVs also feature air spring suspension with adaptive adjustable damping, AMG Performance 4MATIC+ all-wheel drive with fully variable torque distribution, a rear-axle limited-slip differential and a high-performance braking system. As a visual indication of their links with Mercedes-AMG sports cars, the new models sport the AMG Panamericana grille, which was previously reserved for the AMG GT family.
