This meant an incredible 451 HP and 443 ft-lb of torque powered to the rear wheels. To the surprise of many, AMG decided to shoehorn its 6.2L V8 (badged as 6.3L for heritage sake) into the C-Class chassis. Mercedes decided to team up with AMG in Affalterbach in Germany to form a worthy competitor to the M3 and gave birth to the C63 AMG (W204). In this particular segment, the long time reigning king has always been the BMW M3 and the praise can be seen from any magazine review you read. The Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG is perhaps one of the most fun cars you can buy for under $35,000 today, and a personal favorite of mine.
