The $162,400 C63 S Coupe is the third chapter in the C63 story, joining the $154,510 C63 Sedan and $157,010 Estate.

It also sits below the C63 Coupe Edition One, which retails for $173,300. The 2016 coupe has a very high level of standard spec, and includes 20-inch rims, leather sports seats, Garmin satellite navigation, DAB+ digital radio, four-mode Dynamic Select switch and more.

The entire C63 line uses Mercedes-AMG’s 4.0-litre eight-cylinder twin-turbocharged petrol engine that produces 375kW and 700Nm. It’s teamed with a standard seven-speed automatic.

Tim Robson has been involved in automotive journalism for almost two decades, after cutting his teeth on alternative forms of wheeled transport.  Studiously avoiding tertiary education while writing about mountain bikes in the 1990s, Tim started with Motor magazine in 2001, moving on to edit Auto Action and Motor before joining Top Gear Australia in 2010. Tim formed his own company, 032Media, in 2014, building up a freelance business that supplies leading news outlets like CarsGuide and GoAuto, as well as Evo Australia, Motor, 4x4 Australia and The Robb Report. He's also a skilled photographer, practicing videographer, presenter and editor. He’s also recently returned to his roots, currently editing Australia's oldest and most prestigious mountain bike magazine, Mountain Biking Australia. Tim lives in Wollongong, NSW, and is married with three double-digit age kids… two of who are learning to drive. One’s already learned to race, with 16-year-old Max helping Tim to build and run his only car – a track-registered Honda Civic EG.
