This performance oriented sedan will be priced at a premium and is expected to cost INR 1,25,00,000. This vehicle will be launched basically for bragging rights.

During 2015, they plan on introducing two new AMG vehicles the C 63 S and GT S supercar.

The main rival for Mercedes AMG C 63 S will be BMW and their M3 sedan. The M3 looks and feels more sporty in stance, when compared with the C 63 S. They both have their positive and negatives, however, we will see which one is better overall once we get our hands behind the steering wheel.
