Despite Mercedes no longer offering V8 engines in the C-Class, a nearly new C63 with just 31 miles on the clock is available in the used market.
Mercedes doesn't sell new V8 C-Class es any more - but that doesn't mean that you can't buy one...Perhaps even more so than its performance car rivals, interesting times lie ahead for Mercedes - AMG . Because while its V8 hybrids have proved to be absolute monsters, retaining an iconic configuration with a useful hit of electrification, its four-cylinder equivalents haven’t hit the mark in quite the same way.
It’s all a bit of a muddle, basically, AMG obviously capable of developing some mighty powertrains - but not quite sure what should go where. It never used to be so challenging, of course, because back in the good old days of, well, less than a decade ago, a V8 would go in wherever it would fit and that was that. While some cars didn’t necessarily need the 4.0-litre hot-v turbo , it wasn’t hard to be charmed by the silliness.
And some cars were of course elevated to hero status by the V8, the previous C63 being one of them. Now we know what you’re thinking, that this is just another old 4.0-litre used to bash the new era of C63. Been there, done that - let’s move on. This one is a little different, however. Because while it’s no longer possible to buy a 74-plate C-Class from Mercedes with a V8 under the bonnet, you can purchase one that’s box fresh and as-near-as-makes-no-difference new from the classifieds. .
Especially as this is arguably the optimum spec for the previous ‘63, with the much improved nine-speed auto as a facelift model and the coupe spec that brought the bespoke rear axle. An estate is cooler, sure, but the coupe undoubtedly delivered the best driving experience of all four variants of the ‘205 generation C-Class. As happy on the autobahn as it was the track, the car represented AMG at its very best.
