Default new C63 S tiger-like roar :)

First time I heard the new C63 S, sounds amazing.
The growling big-cat like sound is just great

The new one is an absolute animal. Don't let the fact they've ditched the n/a 6.2 V8 for a smaller 4.0-litre put you off. If anything, the exhaust sounds even better than the previous C63. Love that bang when upshifting under hard acceleration.

I'm also on a Mercedes forum where a couple of lucky members have ordered and are soon to receive theirs.

Definitely sounds better than the 1st C63. Love the angry growling, can't wait to see one in person

How can they call it a C63 if its only a 4.0T V8 now ? i thought they were a 6.3L V8 Bi Turbo and they kept the CC but added Turbos ... i did not realize that they had lowered the CC ?

The E63 has been reduced from a 6.2 n/a to 5.5TT for a while now
