Mercedes-Benz will soon have an answer for Audi's S line and BMW's M Performance range, as the automaker from Stuttgart is set to announce a !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! that will help bridge the gap between the most powerful non-AMG models and those actually built by the Affalterbach tuner. The first AMG Sport model will be based on !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! but others based on the CLA-, E- and GLK-Class models are in the pipeline.
we'll get our first look at the new C-Class AMG Sport model, expected to be badged a C450 AMG Sport, at the 2015 Detroit Auto Show in January. That's just two months after the expected reveal of !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! at the 2014 Los Angeles Auto Show.
While the new C63 AMG will get a unique engine, in this case !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! , the C450 AMG Sport is expected to share an engine with the current C400. That engine is a turbocharged 3.0-liter V-6, which is rated at 329 horsepower and 354 pound-feet of torque. Expect slightly more oomph for the C450 AMG Sport—possibly as much as 367 hp.
The C450 AMG Sport will also likely be offered with 4MATIC all-wheel drive, helping to further distinguish it from the C63 AMG which is expected to come exclusively with rear-wheel drive—at least initially. Other enhancements for the C450 AMG Sport will be AMG-spec light alloys, uprated brakes, and some styling mods.
