The C63S AMG W205, launched in 2015, marked a new chapter in the C-Class AMG lineup, embracing turbocharged power to align with the industry’s shift toward forced induction. This generation added more luxury, cutting-edge technology, and refinement, all while staying true to AMG's high-performance heritage.

These include adjustable drive modes, dynamic engine mounts, and an electronically controlled limited-slip differential.

The older 7-speed MCT automatic transmission was replaced by a more responsive 9-speed automatic, further boosting its dynamic capabilities.

Its potent mix of luxury, cutting-edge technology, and raw power makes it an attractive option for both track enthusiasts and those seeking a thrilling daily driver. The shift to turbocharging improved fuel efficiency without losing AMG’s signature exhaust growl, maintaining its unmistakable identity.
