We’ve been spying on the Mercedes-AMG C43 successor for more than two years, but it looks like there's still some testing that needs to be done. Nürburgring "resident" Automotive Mike has spotted the sports sedan being pushed hard on the Nordschleife ahead of a potential world debut in the coming months. The easiest way to tell it's the "AMG Lite" version is by the smaller trunk lid spoiler and round shape of the quad exhaust tips.
Because of the disguise, it's hard to tell whether the C63 will have wider fenders than the C43, although logic tells us the range-topper is going to have beefier tracks. The sound you're hearing doesn't come from a V6 anymore since all C-Class W206 flavors are four-cylinder-only. The same holds true for its SUV equivalent, the GLC, with the only exception being the 400d with its six-cylinder diesel. In other words, the AMGs will be strictly a four-cylinder affair.
