2008 Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG
This is the first AMG product to be designed from its computer-conception for extreme performance. Its predecessors (like most AMG models) are essentially tuner specials, with bolted-on performance.
Quotes from Motor Trend: "Hostile over-taker: Check your blind sport, BMW. The M3's doors are about to be blown off."
"With its M3, BMW has owned the C-segment hot-rod market, winning hearts, minds, and comparison tests for decades. Others have competed, few have been competitive. Now Mercedes-AMG is plotting a hostile takeover of this popular niche."

New M3: 420 hp/295 lb-ft
New C63: 450 hp/443 lb-ft
That is a 30hp/148 lb-ft difference. That is huge.
C63 AMG will cost about $63K-that's at or below the anticipated M3 price.
With the first reviews saying the M3 handling is not up to par, is the C63 taking over the segment. We will see when a head-to-head comparison is done. Only time will tell.
