Blade Runner The Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG Edition 507 belongs in the right hands—yours

You are looking at the 2014 Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG Edition 507—call it the most aggressive AMG C63 yet. It produces 507hp and accelerates from 0-60 in 4.1 seconds. (The 2014 model outperforms the existing 451hp C63 model by three-tenths of a second. Time for an upgrade, perhaps.) To make sure you get the most out of the ride’s top speed of 174 mph, you’ll receive a driver-training session at the AMG Driving Academy.

The engine is an AMG 6.3-litre high-revving, naturally aspirated V8. The increase in power over previous models comes from refinement; the Edition 507 utilizes forged pistons adopted from the SLS AMG, together with new connecting rods and a lightweight crankshaft to lessen engine weight. Seven-speed transmission is standard. The hood design hails from the C63 AMG Coupe Black Series; the two openings in the distinctive aluminum hood help expel engine heat. The 2014 Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG Edition 507 will go on sale this summer; pricing details will be made available then. Looks like your annual roadtrip just got longer.
