I see one parked outside my house every morning.

Thats true Gibbo

It is a stunning vehicle, would love an A Class AMG!!!!

Even if they are 'only' £40k now, it still surprises me that there are so many about as of late. At a time where everyone seems to be jumping on the GET ALL THE MPGZZZ bandwagon, a 6.3L V8 doesn't seem like it'd be a popular choice!

I just thought they'd be rarer - not that I'm complaining mind, it helps the second hand market!

There are quite a few around this area.

I saw a woman driving one the other day and as she parked it before she got out she gave the accelerator peddle a blip which made a wonderful noise and even a couple of pops.

She was pretty tasty herself too.

An AMG needs a good soundtrack and that 6.2 makes one hell of a noise. :cool:

Hopefully MB don't do what BMW have with their replacement for their 4.0 V8, giving us something with no flair or character.

Because hey appeal to a niche market, being one of the very last and still available modern super saloons that use an almighty V8 powerplant. All the newer stuff is turbo powered, sounds dull in comparison.

One of our suppliers who is an EVO nut, changed his EVO X to one of these and he loves it, says for its size its quite the drivers car and a lot of fun. His only complaint is its pretty useless in poorer weather, whereas the EVO X was superb all year round car.

Any idea what the engine is like to maintain?

Steedie · 1 Jul 2014 at 10:18

Guy next door has one, recently got it too

lmfy2k · 1 Jul 2014 at 11:03

they have a distinct rubble note to the exhaust and you know one is coming from far away

Similarly, what is the servicing, warranty and parts cost like in comparison to BMW etc?

Is it still as comical as it was in comparison as a few years back?

Sorry, I meant in terms of reliability.

Yeah - I understood that - my questions were more of an extension to yours

One lives near me, noisy b4stard. I'm not a fan of the noise it makes, give me a E39 M5 instead.

If I won the lottery I think I'd have one as my daily driver, nice saloon 507 edition. Fantastic noise, the sort of engine were unlikely to see in future cars.

peterattheboro · 1 Jul 2014 at 17:11

Was out in one the other week. The acceleration is savage.

daveydave · 1 Jul 2014 at 17:19

I will be picking one of these up the second the coupes dip below 30k mark.

grudas · 1 Jul 2014 at 17:29

seen one a few times around my area.. great plate too "63 TNT" love the sound of that

Savan_P · 1 Jul 2014 at 18:48

They are fantastic pieces of kit.

Seems like they are definitely giving the M3 a run for their money. IMO I would much rather have a C63. The noise is just addictive and I think it now has more presence than the M3 as well.
