The sedan, coupé and cabriolet now feature a sharper exterior and even more agility.

Power remains unchanged but it’s better tamed with clever electronics. The biggest visual cue of the MY19 car is a new grille with vertical slats.The Mercedes-AMG C63 — in its saloon, coupe and cabriolet variants — has become cleverer and more involving to drive.

However, there’s now a simpler launch control which now requires only the left-foot hard on the brakes and the right foot deep inside the carpet to launch. A new Speedshift MCT 9G transmission replaces the old seven-speed unit and in addition there’s now a rear-axle limited-slip differential fitted as standard for even more precise traction control.

It electronically apportions engine torque precisely according to selected driver reaction levels which have been classified as either: Basic, Advanced, Pro and Master. Or you can simply disengage every conceivable electronic safety aid and drive it in the unofficial Legend Mode. The programmes are selected using new digital toggle buttons situated on the steering wheel for added convenience.

On the inside the current Mercedes-Benz dash look of fluid surfaces mixed with sporting touches is applied. Optional AMG Performance seats now provide the possibility of side bolsters that can be perfectly adjusted to the body contours of front occupants by means of built-in air cushions.
