We just received an updated newsletter from the folks at the New York Auto Show and they tell us that Mercedes-Benz’s press conference will feature 6 debuts at the 2011 show, including two worldwide and three North American production debuts.

The three North American production debuts will feature the 2012 Mercedes-Benz SLK350, C-Class Coupe and the new 2012 C-Class Sedan.

The new 2012 Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG Coupe will make its world debut alongside another AMG model yet to be announced. That yet to be announced AMG model will most likely be the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Roadster.

So that leaves us with one more model? We have no word on what it will be but we’re speculating that it will be a new concept that might hint at the next-generation M-Class, B-Class or a new compact SUV that will fit below the Mercedes-Benz GLK (a BMW X1 competitor).

Whatever it is, we’ll have to wait until April 20th to se what it is.

Refresher: The 2012 Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG Coupe is powered by a 6.3L V8 engine making 451-hp with a maximum torque of 443 lb-ft. Mated standard to an AMG SPEEDSHIFT MCT 7-speed sports transmission, the 2012 Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG Coupe goes from 0 to 60 mph in 4.4 seconds with a top speed of 155 mph. The AMG Development Package allows the 2012 Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG Coupe to produce 481-hp. That allows it to improve 0 to 60 mph acceleration to 4.3 seconds with a top speed increased to 174 mph.
