C63 (2007 to 2023)

Few modern performance sedans have made the impact of the Mercedes-AMG C63, a model that became synonymous with big-capacity V8 power, rear-wheel drive, and everyday usability. First appearing in the late 2000s, the C63 stood apart from its rivals by prioritising character and torque over outright precision, most notably in W204 form with its naturally aspirated 6.2-litre engine. Over subsequent generations the C63 evolved with turbocharging, increased technology, and broader body style options including coupe and wagon. In Australia, the C63 developed a strong following thanks to official AMG backing, right-hand-drive availability, and its reputation as a genuine daily-drivable performance car. Market demand is strongest for V8-powered examples, particularly earlier naturally aspirated cars and well-specified later models, with condition, mileage, and originality playing a key role in value retention as buyers increasingly gravitate toward traditional AMG offerings.
