While the new 2012 Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG Coupe competes with a lot high-performance coupes in the segment – one war to watch in the future will be the one where the C63 AMG Coupe takes on the BMW M3 Coupe. What’s not to like about some serious high-performance German coupe rivalry.

One thing I’d like to point out here is the offering of the AMG Development Pacakge, which cuts the 0 to 60 mph time on the Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG Coupe to 4.3 seconds from 4.4 seconds and increases the top speed from 155 mph to 174 mph. While to some it will seem like a must-have options… nevermind – if we had the money it will be a must-have option for us as well.
