Mercedes-Benz C450 AMG Sport tagged posts

The Detroit Auto Show has kicked off today and Mercedes-Benz just announced a new member in the C Class family: the 2016 C450 AMG Sport.

But please do not be confused with the “AMG” in its name, the C450 AMG Sport is not a AMG car like the C63 AMG. It is in fact a C Class with some AMG treatments, like the M Sport in BMW, or the S-Line in Audi.  One major upgrade for the C450 AMG Sport is the engine: although it is shared with the C400’s 3.0L twin-turbocharged V6, its output is boosted up to 362hp and 384 lb-ft of torque.

C450 AMG Sport

Last week, Mercedes-Benz announced its plan to debut two new AMG Sport models in next month’s North American International Auto Show, in Detroit. You heard right, not one but TWO.

The two new AMG Sport vehicles we are talking about are the C450 AMG Sport and also the GLE 450 AMG Sport (the GLE class is similar to the BMW X6). Check out the image below of the 2016 Mercedes-AMG C63S. The exterior of the C450 AMG Sport will also share some similar styling, including the quad exhaust tips.

The C450 AMG Sport will utilize the same twin-turbo 3...

Just like BMW is making the M Performance models such as the M235i, Mercedes-Benz is also considering something lower than the AMG badge, but higher than “normal” models.

“AMG Sport” is Mercedes’ answer to BMW’s M Performance. According to our insider, the first AMG Sport product will be the upcoming C450 AMG Sport, which we have been talked about here, here a while ago (we even provide you a rough price estimate of the C450 in this post!).

The AMG Sport product line will definitely not limited to the C450, it will also be extended to the A/E/S/GLA/ML/GL-Class vehicles.

We will see the announcement of the C450 AMG Sport some time next year...
