Good looking machine, minus the rear wing affixed to the trunk lid. IMHO

Lose the wing, make the trunk lid match the rest of the car, price it under $100K, and it's a winner!

Wesley Crusher · 12 October 2016, 04:16 AM

Cool looking car. In sure the wing is totally functional so removing it would be counterproductive.

I do not like the black/CF trunk, though. It looks like it belongs on a 1990s Civic, not a 100K+ Mercedes.

keschete · 12 October 2016, 04:22 AM

I agree they need a revamp past the rear tires.

Rolex addict · 12 October 2016, 05:01 AM

Meh. I'll get out there and smoke it in my Crown Vic!!

dysondiver · 12 October 2016, 05:03 AM

looks like a hyundi coupe ,,, too much going on with body lines and curves and things ,,, sort of like the nissan juke , tries too hard.
not for me.

My little rhyme for the Nissan is "the Nissan Juke makes me wanna Puke"

Dr.Brian · 12 October 2016, 05:20 AM

I don't love the lines either, but I'm sure it's a hell of a ride.

77T · 12 October 2016, 05:27 AM

The wing won't make it to final production methinks. It's prolly there to test handling without the driver risking an oversteer incident.

As for Hyundai - they copied the 63's lines long ago so the Sonata looks like an M-B.

I think it might look alot better if it were black or silver.

I'm sure it's a beast though

Ruud Van Driver · 12 October 2016, 05:32 AM

Apart from that ghastly rear wing, I really like it. Way too expensive for me though.

Should give Seth some pause for thought as he recovers

TheBluePrince · 12 October 2016, 05:54 AM

C Coupe is a pretty car on the outside.

The inside is horrid with the awful stick on style fake iPad screen like in the A Class. Lowers and cheapens the car. I would not buy one solely because of this.

blassy · 12 October 2016, 06:08 AM

this sums up my thoughts..........

RW16610 · 12 October 2016, 06:55 AM

This one might have to grow on me in time. Great car I'll bet but not for me.

I thought it was supposed to be priced around $70k?

C63S Coupe can be had for around 90K loaded. That's plenty of car.

returntorolex · 12 October 2016, 09:29 AM

Didn't see the Nurburgring lap time....under 7:45?

And sold for $60k

1st amg · 12 October 2016, 10:03 AM

I have seen the C63S coupe in the flesh, and it is stunning. The lines actually resemble the S coupe. It looks classy and aggressive all at the same time. The previous generation C63 coupe were horrendous. The C63S coupe is a home run. This R coupe looks a little off with that massive wing.

Dyim · 12 October 2016, 10:47 AM

I guess that's MB's answer to M4 GTS?

Yep, looks like a mini S63 coupe! The big wing will stay I'm sure, as it was on their Black Series too.

rr-nyc · 12 October 2016, 03:58 PM

The wing will be on the production model just as it is on an M4 GTS. There would be no point to put it on a test mule to increase downforce and then remove it for the general public

There haven't been timed laps at the ring for a while now

Rock · 12 October 2016, 05:10 PM

Starts at $163K here in Australia. Doubt you'd get it on the road for under $170K.
Don't mind the side and rear styling but feel the front is not as attractive as previous models. I'd rather have the new 6 speed manual Jaguar F Type Coupe any day.

p.s. notice how the plastic fronts & rears are gradually creeping towards the middle of the cars.

Please elaborate.

Something has changed since end of June 2016?

I like the shape of and enjoy driving my old '07 AMG

but I think they have lost the plot with the new exterior designs.

I recall reading that they placed a ban on timed laps and even put speed limits on some sections in 2015. Maybe it was lifted

nick c · 12 October 2016, 11:26 PM

The car in nice but this wing is so ugly

DeeTee · 13 October 2016, 01:12 AM

I just can't get over the trunk and tailights.
Whenever Mercedes shrinks down a car (S to C, CLS to CLA) it just doesn't come out right.

But you get the same car for 1/3 of the price, so I guess compromises have to be made.

Danny83 · 13 October 2016, 01:56 AM

Here is a pic of one I saw I thinks its nice Larry
