Mercedes-AMG C63 S Coupe gallery

Take one luxury coupe, throw it into the lion's den that is the Mercedes-AMG garage, and stand well back. The result is the Mercedes-AMG C63 S Coupe Edition 1, a mean, potent, and expensive way to get from A to B with very little delay in-between.

A custom interior, striking matte silver paint-job with bright yellow highlights, and lashings of Alcantara, aluminum, and more all add up to a car that certainly feels the potent-luxury part.

Then there's the twin-turbo V8, using its 4.0-liters to push out a heady 503 HP. That's good for a 0-62 mph time of just 3.9 seconds.
