Powerful version of Mercedes C-Class Cabriolet spotted testing, expected on sale by the end of 2016
The 2016 Mercedes-AMG C63 Cabriolet has been spotted out and about for the first time, ahead of an expected launch before the end of next year.
The convertible is the final model in the C-Class range to be launched with a performance version, and it is set to get the same 4.0-litre V8 petrol engine as the Coupe and saloon versions.
The spy shots show that it is set to get the same front bumper and wider wheel arches as the Coupe, along with double exhausts at the rear. It is also clear from the spy shots that it will also come with the same folding cloth roof as the standard C-Class convertible.
If it comes with the same standard and S variants that are offered on the Coupe, then it will offer up to 503bhp and 516lb ft of torque - a boost of 23bhp and 74lb ft more than the 6.2-litre V8 of the previous version in its most powerful form.
This should result in a 0-62mph time around the 4.0sec mark, and an expected limited top speed of 155mph.
Inside, it is expected to come with AMG-specific instruments, controls, gear lever and trim applications, along with a flat-bottomed multi-function steering wheel and sports seats. It is also likely to come with the same seven-speed Speedshift MCT automatic gearbox as the other C63 models.
While there is no official word on when the C63 Cabriolet will be launched, it is expected to be revealed in the first half of 2016 before going on sale by the end of the year.
