News surfaced today shows that Mercedes-Benz is working on a new trim for the upcoming W205 C Class, named C450.

It will use the same twin-turbo 3.0L V6 engine with new ECU software to boost the turbo pressure, which increases the original output of 329hp (in C400) to around 367hp for the C450.

Both RWD and 4Matic AWD options will be available. The 4Matic system distributes the 367hp to all four wheels, decreases the possibility of wheel slip during hard acceleration.

This is the only detail we know at this moment. We will report back once we get more news about the C450. Below is image of the C400.
