It looks good all around and it has a V8. The C8 isn't as nice looking tbh.

Stunning. Her, not so much. Jesus, they coulda put a hottie instead of that gargoyle, but everyone looks at the car, although a pretty distraction would be nice. If they priced at $150k I would cancel my E-Ray in a second.

@jw38 Thoughts?

It's nice, but I don't like the back seat and I don't like that is has the same interior as the SL. Mercedes also "softened" it somewhat so I'll take mine over it.

Why does MB make several 4.0 twin turbos with different horsepower ratings??
For the big bucks, folks want the most possible.
Why not 630 hp in all the high-end MB with 4.0?? as has the 4-door GT coupe

because in the natural order of things, a C63 shouldn't have the same bhp as a more expensive E63 which admittedly doesn't make sense because the E63 made more bhp than the S63 before it went hybrid.....so in other words, who are we to question why MB does what they do?

Looks like someone put an uglier front end on a Porsche.

It’s an incredible car though
