The new C63's tiny turbo-four is a giant on paper: 469 hp from 2.0 litres makes it the most powerful four-cylinder engine in series production.
Every single W206 C-Class, even the AMG-badged C43, now makes do with four cylinders — Mercedes dropped the six-cylinder entirely from this generation.
For the first time ever, every C-Class engine option became a four-cylinder — this generation quietly dropped the six-cylinder choice entirely, pairing a 48-volt system with each one.
Early W205 C43s let you flip the exhaust flaps open from a cabin button for pops and burbles on demand — a trick later models lost to noise rules.
The C450 AMG borrowed more than a badge from its big brother — the front axle, steering system and suspension all came straight from the C63.
Mercedes-Benz built the W205's body structure from a mix of steel and aluminum, making it the first C-Class with an aluminum-intensive hybrid shell, cutting up to 100 kg versus its predecessor.
Despite the jump to twin-turbo power, Mercedes says this C63 actually sips less fuel than the naturally aspirated car it replaced — 32 percent less.
It inspired a boat: Cigarette Racing built a 50-foot Black Series Marauder powerboat after it, unveiled at the 2012 Miami Boat Show.
Years before a single physical prototype existed, Mercedes crash-tested the W204 C-Class entirely in software — a 2.1-terabyte 'digital prototype' driven a virtual 15 million miles, an industry first.
Mercedes built the W204 AMG's 6.2 litre M156 with no turbo at all, a naturally aspirated V8 already going against the grain by 2008.
Squeezing in the 5.4-litre V8 meant AMG had to stretch this C-Class's nose by about 80mm, borrowing the longer engine bay and front end from the CLK55 AMG.
The W203 C32 AMG Sport Coupé was never a regular catalog option — AMG Studio built it strictly to special order, making it far rarer than the saloon and wagon versions of the same car.
The W203 was the first C-Class offered with a factory sunroof panel made of a single curved piece of glass spanning nearly the full roof, marketed as the Panorama roof.
This C43 AMG was the first AMG model ever assembled complete at Mercedes' own factory — after Daimler-Benz bought AMG in 1998 — rather than finished off at AMG's shop like the C36 before it.
No two C36 AMGs were quite the same — AMG admitted its hand-built engines could vary by over ten horsepower from car to car.
By 1999 the W202 had quietly become the first compact sedan on the market to offer electronic stability control as standard equipment across its entire lineup.
