W204 (2007 to 2014)

The Mercedes-AMG C63 (W204) is widely regarded as one of the most characterful modern performance sedans, produced from 2007 to 2014 and defined by its naturally aspirated 6.2-litre V8 (M156). At a time when rivals were moving toward smaller, turbocharged engines, AMG took the opposite approach, delivering a raw, high-revving powertrain paired with rear-wheel drive and minimal electronic interference, giving the W204 a reputation for sound, aggression, and theatre. In the Australian market, the W204 C63 holds particular significance, having been officially sold in strong numbers and embraced by enthusiasts as a true old-school AMG, with sedans, coupes, and wagons all represented locally. Market demand today is strongest for well-maintained, lower-kilometre cars, especially Performance Pack and Edition models, with originality, service history, and condition playing a growing role as buyers increasingly view the W204 as a future classic from AMG’s V8 golden era.
