Overview

The Mercedes-Benz AMG C63 S makes for an excellent contender in the performance compact luxury sedan segment. The 2020 Mercedes-AMG C63 S Sedan just gets keyless access and a hands-free trunk lid as standard this year. With one trim on offer, the AMG C63 S has an MSRP of $75,700, competing directly with the Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio, BMW M3, and Cadillac CT4-V Blackwing. It is powered by a 4.0L twin-turbocharged V8 engine which produces 503 horsepower and 516 lb-ft of torque which powers the rear wheels.

Accelerating from 0-60 in 3.8 seconds, the 2020 AMG C63 S maintains a combined fuel economy of 21 MPG. Mercedes-Benz offers the AMG C63 S in 7 stunning colors, with the Brillant Blue Metallic being a particular favorite of ours. The hand-assembled twin-turbo V8 is a gem to drive and packs plenty of punch. Check out the video below by quot;Raiti#39;s Ridesquot; where Joe Raiti intends to find out if this Mercedes is a better performance sedan than the M3.
