The Mercedes-AMG C63 not only has a new name that drops Benz from the equation, but also a new and lighter chassis, and a newly developed twin-turbo V8 offering up to 503hp (510PS) in “s” guise.

In our fist video encounter, Mercedes gives us a light tour of the C63 AMG in both four-door sedan and Wagon body styles, and we say light, because even though the Germans included footage of the two cars on the track, it’s about as exciting as a road trip through Ohio – no offense.

We guess it will have to do until Stuttgart provides us with new material, which hopefully, will include some tastier sound bites from the V8 lump.
