All-new model year 2014 C63 AMG increases power to 507 hp in “Edition 507”

Mercedes-Benz Introduces An Even More Aggressive C63 AMG

MONTVALE, NJ – The C63 AMG models are becoming even more

aggressive with the addition of a newly developed “Edition 507″. The

output of the AMG 6.3 liter V8 engine has been increased by 56 hp,

bringing the output to 507 hp with 450 lb.-ft. of torque. The model year

2014 C63 AMG “Edition 507” uses much of the same technology as the

SLS AMG: the eight-cylinder naturally aspirated engine features forged

pistons, connecting rods and a lightweight crankshaft as seen on the

super sports car. An AMG high-performance compound constuction

braking system with red brake calipers is fitted as standard. The C63

AMG “Edition 507″ will be available in the Summer of 2013 and is

designed to appeal to ambitious drivers who take pleasure in best-in-class

technology as well as exclusive design and sporty handling.

The C63 AMG “Edition 507″ coupe and sedan produces 507 hp and accelerates

from 0-60 in 4.1 seconds. This new model outperforms the existing 451 hp C63

model by three-tenths of a second, and the variants with the AMG Development

Package which produce 481 hp by two-tenths of a second. In addition to an

increase in top speed to 174 mph, the “Edition 507” also includes a voucher for

a driver training session at the AMG Driving Academy.

According to Ola Källenius, Chairman of the Board of Management of

Mercedes-AMG GmbH: “The C 63 AMG with the classic AMG 6.3-litre

high-revving V8 naturally aspirated engine is one of the most popular AMG

high-performance cars in the world. With the new C 63 AMG “Edition 507″,

we are offering our loyal customers an attractive model variant which boasts

even higher performance and at the same time is visually exciting.”

SLS AMG GT3 builds on last year’s success in the Dubai 24 Hours

• Second overall victory in a row for AMG Customer Team Abu Dhabi by Black Falcon
•  Jones positioned fifth five times: Best result for AMG Customer Team Preci-Spark with fifth overall position and second position in the class
• AMG Customer Team De Lorenzi comes home twelfth in their first 24-hour race with gullwing car
• Three of four entered SLS AMG GT3 win top ten position
• High reliability: All four gullwing cars reach finish line

Dubai (UAE) – Once again, the SLS AMG GT3 from the customer team Abu Dhabi by Black Falcon claimed an unchallenged victory in the Dubai 24-hour race (10th to 12th of January 2013). The gullwing car with race number 1 and the drivers Khaled Al Qubaisi (UAE), Bernd Schneider (GER), Jeroen Bleekemolen (NED) and Sean Edwards (GB) entered the race from the pole position and won the race two laps ahead. Thus the team continued its success of the previous year.

However, the run-up of the 24-hour race was an unfavourable one for AMG Customer Team Abu Dhabi by Black Falcon: The gullwing car with race number 1 was damaged so hard in an accident on the test track, the Grand Prix track of the Dubai Autodrome, which is 5.39 kilometres long, that it could not be repaired on the spot. The team decided to purchase the substitute car of the British team Preci-Spark and worked for two entire nights in succession in order to prepare the car for the free training sessions and the qualifying on Thursday. Without a roll-out prior to the end of the qualifying, Jeroen Bleekemolen achieved the fastest training time already in the third lap – thus the Dutch driver laid the cornerstone for today’s success. The victorious SLS AMG GT3 was the first customer sports gullwing car ever that was delivered: Preci-Spark was the first AMG Customer Team that took over a SLS AMG GT3 in 2011.

In the starting phase, the gullwing car of Abu Dhabi by Black Falcon remained among the first positions until it unluckily fell back during several code-60 phases. In a code-60 phase, vehicles are driven on the track with slow speed until the scene of an accident is cleared up and the race can be started again. In the further course of the race, the race number 1 remained unaffected by problems, did not give up its top position in the race and gained victory in the fight for the first position.

Great Stuff AMG!!!!!

An unusal post for me on here, but an author who’s blog I subscribe to runs a charitable promotion on his birthday’s.  This year it is one that made a lot of sense to me.  It is called vittana.org and it helps people in less developed nations study careers of their choice, not just by donation but by loan.  99.8% of the students fully repay their loans.  You can loan as little as $1 and have the option of having that loan donated back into the system.  Check it out, made me feel grateful today when I was reading the stories of the students.  If you decide to donate, click on ”Tim’s 35th Birthday” as the Lending Team.
