AMG's New 4.0 Turbocharged V8 Motor

Rumor has it that AMG is working on replacing the naturally aspirated 6.2 liter V8 in the C63 AMG to a 4.0 liter turbocharged V8. Sounds like they will be boring out the motor that will premiere in the CLA45 to get a larger displacement. The best news is that the horsepower will be about the same (450hp vs. 451hp currently). It is also estimated that this engine would be able to generate a maximum of 600hp. So, hopefully the AMG development package for model year 2014 will boast a larger horsepower figure than model year 2013. All in all, the trend in the automotive industry will be smaller displacement motors. You can thank the CAFE standards for that.

C63 AMG 507 Edition

I’m sure everyone was sad when they found out that Mercedes-Benz was making a limited number of C63 Black Series and they cost around $125,000. Well good news, there is now a 507 Edition. Think of it as a slightly less hardcore Black Series. The name 507 coming from the fact it has 507hp and 450 lb-ft of torque. So you only have 3 less hp than a Black Series. Pretty impressive considering the most horsepower you could get in a C63 other than the Black Series was 481hp. You even get the same aluminum hood and engine treatment (forged pistons, new connecting rods and a lightweight crankshaft from the SLS AMG) that the Black Series received. A lot of the normal chrome accents on this car have been blacked out to give it a menacing look. The 507 edition is fitted with 19’’ forged aluminum wheels in a matte black finish. The interior is finished with designo leather and alcantara accents. This car should be available late summer 2013. State side you will probably only get it in the Sedan or Coupe format. Typically the estate version is reserved for Europe. If you have any questions or are interested in ordering one let us know! emailus@mblynnwood.com
