Ladies and gentlemen, for the main event of the evening... 12 rounds of heavyweight drifting: meet the new C63 AMG Coupe.
Mercedes has revealed the rocket-fuelled version of its recently launched C-Class Coupe, packing 457bhp from its 6.2-litre V8.
As with the face-lifted saloon, the C63 AMG Coupe gets the optional AMG performance pack rebigulator that boosts power to 487bhp. How, you cry? Pinching important oily bits from its SLS AMG sibling, the 6.2-litre V8 gets forged pistons, connecting rods and a lightweight crankshaft reducing inertia and allowing muchos revolutions, eg, light and shouty.
The pack also includes a variable intake manifold, AMG high-performance brakes with composite front discs and red calipers, along with a carbon-fibre boot spoiler and AMG steering wheel.
The 0-62mph time takes 4.5 seconds (4.4 with the AMG pack) while top speed is, naturally, limited to 155mph.
