THE NEW MERCEDES-BENZ C63 AMG US PRICING ANNOUNCED

New Model Priced At $54,625


PARADISE VALLEY, AZ - The 2008 Mercedes-AMG C63 AMG is making its on-road debut in the U.S. this week as U.S. journalists test-drive the new car on a wide range of roads through Arizona's mountain and desert terrain. The 2008 C63 AMG makes its debut with the signature AMG 6.3 liter V8 engine that produces a 451-hp and 443 lb-ft. of torque. Top speed is electronically limited to 155 mph, while its 0-60 time is 4.3 seconds. Introduced on the C63 AMG, the AMG SPEEDSHIFT PLUS 7-Speed Automatic Transmission includes a new double de-clutching feature on downshifts to maintain vehicle balance during cornering, while delivering shift times up to 50 percent faster than previously. The exterior of the C63 AMG departs from other C-Class models with a unique hood (with power domes), widened front fenders and a special front fascia and other body components not shared with any C-Class model. Available in U.S. Mercedes-Benz dealerships in April, the new C63 AMG will be priced at $54,625, which includes the $825 destination fee.

Looks like it should be pretty competitive with the new M3...
