Considering that the 2023 C63 AMG has a turbocharged 4-cylinder hybrid system, we wanted to revisit the loudest iteration of Mercedes' compact combustion machine: the 2014 C63 AMG 507 Edition. What makes the 507 different from a regular C63 AMG?
*Correction: I said the brakes are ceramic compound but Mercedes calls them "the AMG Compound braking system" which is a two-piece disc (aluminum hub w/ steel disc) and a different pad material.
Engine: M156 6.2 liter
507HP @ 6800 (Base car had 450, P31 had 480, this has 507)
450LB-FT @ 5200
Trans: 7-speed automatic torque converter
Weight: 3900
Weight balance: 53/47, also better than the RS5.
Wheel base is 3” shorter than a new C63.
Struts in front, multilink rear
Steering ratio: 2.6 lock to lock.
BRAKES: 6-piston front / 4 piston rear. 14.4” front, 14.2 rear.
Special 19” rims

I have one with the P31 package (forged SLS internals etc.) pretty similar to this car. Although mine has a stock exhaust still (short exhaust note video on my channel). But I have a Stage 1 tune which means it probably has around 520 hp at the crank. It's an incredible machine. Absolutely intoxicating experience. To anyone considering buying one of these: If you can appreciate the sensations of a peak naturally aspirated engine and are not just looking to hunt numbers (it's still a fast car) you should just get one. It's such an emotional and extremely rewarding car. By the way, regarding the lazy gearshift: It you intend to shift it manually you HAVE to use the M mode. In all the other modes it really dislikes being "interrupted" by the driver and you should mostly let it shift by itself if you want to drive in C, S or S+. Awesome video!

From Car and Driver’s test of the 507: “What the 507 option doesn’t do is make the C63 any quicker than the ’12 C63 coupe. Equipped with the discontinued $6050 AMG Development package, that 481-hp C63 was the quickest of any C63 we’ve encountered, hitting 60 mph in 3.7 seconds, quicker than what we saw in the 510-hp Black Series. This C63’s launch-control programming is entertaining, but we still managed to beat it by a few tenths by applying light brake torque to the engine. With that technique, 60 mph arrived in 3.9 seconds. We also tested a C63 507 sedan, which is lighter than the coupe by 45 pounds and managed a 3.8-second time. The take-away from all of this test talk: Every C63 we’ve ever run hit 60 mph in less than four seconds. They’re all quick, with or without the optional power.” In other words there’s no reason to spend extra on the P31 or 507. Just get the nicest one you can afford, and do the head bolts if it’s an early car.

Bought one pre pandemic for 33k big spec aswell, sold it for 43k last year and bought an f90 m5 and 12 months into the f90 it’s going back in for another 507. I’ve had an e92 m3 frozen edition, GTS Merc and this will be my 3rd 63 and 2nd 507. For me it’s my favourite car The m5 will kill it in a straight line and round corners, but the soul and absolute ludicrous handling is what makes the 63 that bit more. Especially if you get one with an LSD If your looking at buying one do it.

Hello and thanks for doing the C63 review. I have a 2009 W204 C63 AMG with the P30 package. Stock hp was 451 at the crank. Around 2015 or so I contacted Eurocharged and inquired about the ECU tune. Supposedly the tune would add 100 hp at the crank. A dyno following resulted in 425.2 wheel hp and 370 max torque. Since then I had the head bolts done, and was told that I’d probably see a small gain in Hp and torque but haven’t had another dyno to verify. The car is as much fun to drive as the first time each time that I take it out. Cheers.

P31 and 507 are the same tune, the only difference is the hood. The carbon fiber bits, lip, and red paint calipers are also standard on the 507/P31, whereas they don't appear on the base model. The 2 tone seats are a stand alone option on any 2011+ (facelift) C63. Next year will be my 10th year of ownership and currently at 101K miles -- ironically my most reliable car over so long

The ‘composite’ front brakes are aluminium bells with steel rotors, which are different from the stock c63 (and the best of all the three c63s i have had). So the car in the vid has the correct brakes for a 507. 507 edition also got (different from stock): - Red dial inserts - Speed limiter raise to 174mph - Black daytime running light surrounds - Special gearshift knob with amg embossed logo - Special key with amg embossed logo - Alcantara steering wheel and shifter surround - Special graphics down the side (the first time these featured on a merc production car i think?) Agree with your conclusion by the way, the ‘standard’ cars are flippin epic and so are the 507s 🙌🏼

One followed the sound in a city at night and pulled me over, but since they never had a speed, they couldn't charge me with anything. The primary way the 'normal' C63 was limited in power by Mercedes was the throttle body only being allowed to open around 83%. If you connect any of the ODB2 monitoring devices, it's easy to note.

Those arent the original forged 19 inch amg rims that came with it, the oem wheel looks 100× better then those aftermarket ones. The trans is a multiclutch btw not torque converter, and it can easily be swapped to a 370z manual 6 speed, theres a few u can see on youtube that have been swapped, e55s, no 63s but the same process I contacted the shop, but I would hate to lose those nasty pops on upshift n downshift by going to manual

To answer your question about the P31 and 507 having same engine and same power numbers, my educated guess would be yes. My reasoning: MB’s M113K motor that that put in the E55, S55, CLS55 and SL55. In all but the S55, they rated it at 469hp. But in the S55 it was rated at 510hp. Many people have tested them, and they all put out the same power numbers. AMG Meister confirmed it.

I got an early W204 (2008) C63 AMG Sedan and enjoyed it for its nimble drive amid its amazing power delivery. The an opportunity came round and I was able to get a 507 figuring it would be just as nimble with even more power. Nope. In the interim time from the early 2008-2009 W204 C63s to the latter facelifted 2010 and beyond they "refined" the cars but in so doing everything had been dulled. Not as responsive to drive dynamically and the promise of power did not materialize. So, off the 507 went. I did try a 2010 C63 Coupe with the power pack for a while, but it never really replicated just how much fun the earlier cars were to drive. Moral of the story: take it from someone who owned all three, for me, the most fun car to drive was the early 2008/2009 C63. Don't waste your time or money on the others. Of course, the C63 Black Series is the daddy, but if you don't have the cash, just get the early one. I promise you won't be disappointed.

I had one. Loved it, but traded it in for an AMG GTC. Know what? I don’t miss the 6.3L engine. The 4L is better in every way - EXCEPT startup up sound. But through the rev range and at redline the 4L sounds better. And the Achielles heal of this car is the lack of traction and slow shifting transmission - it really limits enjoyment of this great engine and good chassis.

2009 P30 is the one. Besides the black series it’s the only C63 with a standard LSD. People bitched about the rough track suspension. So Mercedes made it more plush for 2010 +

Loved the video. Kind of disappointed in what vehicles you compared it to. The ISF, E92 M3 and RS4 were the direct competitors for the c63 during their production runs. The RCF and F80 were next gen cars. I cross shopped the C63 and ISF really hard and ended up choosing the ISF. Lighter, Better handling, better longevity and a far better trans lol. Although the C63 has hands down the best exhaust note stock for stock, with equal length headers the Yamaha tuned 2UR comes alive in a much more exotic way.

Base car, p31 and 507 all make the same power after a remap within a couple of hp. The base cars throttle body doesn't fully open. Mercedes did this as they didn't want the c63 being quicker then the e63 that was also using the m156 at the time. Base car + remap = around 510 hp. Save your money and put an aftermarket diff in.

@@TML34 driving both of them back to back, you will not notice that the m3 is lighter. Extensively driven both; brakes are the same, they break traction the same, the c63 smashes in the streets 9/10 times, and tuned also can beat the m3 on the track, as the e9x m3 can hardly hit 400 wheel horsepower. Stock for stock I’d bet on the m3 for any track though.

Nice review, thanks for sharing this beast! I got a 2011 C300... but with a manual transmission. The engine, and open diff is disappointing. I've been so wanting to do a V8 swap and put a proper diff in the thing - would be killer. Alas though this is all I can really afford. Man is it a beautiful car though. These look money in white, no doubt about it.

The engine swap is just that.. an engine swap, then you would have top do the brakes, a stronger transmission and other things. By the way, the C63 was 3" longer to accomodate the V8. I have had a new (back then) C63 AMG and a got a C300 new(back then) simultaneously. Both great cars.
