W204 C63 (2008-2015)

6.2-litre V8, 336kW/600Nm, 1655kg

Supposedly the first AMG model designed from the ground up. Bigger engine, bigger grunt, rear-drive, seven-speed auto only and a sound beamed down from motoring heaven. Culminated in the 380kW Black Series pictured, although the last-hurrah 507 model, with the SLS engine, is the one you want.
