Before we get into the main performance figures, just remember that this is the last time we will ever see the mighty M156 6.2-liter naturally aspirated V8 in a Mercedes-Benz AMG ever again. Sure you can call it a send off, but it&#8217;s more like a last chance in its life to sing to the people who enjoyed it the most. It&#8217;s sad to see it go, and we&#8217;re pretty sure Mercedes-AMG wasn&#8217;t to happy to see it through the door either, which is why this M156 in particular is actually quite special. For starters, it shares components such as pistons with the M159 engine, which belongs in the mighty SLS AMG. So, what does all of this actually do? Well, the C63 AMG Edition 507 has &#8211; you guessed it &#8211; 507 hp and 610 Nm torque. Turn off the ESP, press the AMG button, select Race Start and you can hit naught to 62 mph in just 4.2 seconds, that&#8217;s Porsche 911 territory! One of the most surprising things about this car is the suspension setup, it is slightly stiffened but feels no less comfortable to the previous one, which makes it a great continent cruiser. \n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-9d0ott-88c9d4c48873367359e7d521aa9ac441\">\n#top .av-special-heading.av-9d0ott-88c9d4c48873367359e7d521aa9ac441{\npadding-bottom:10px;\n}\nbody .av-special-heading.av-9d0ott-88c9d4c48873367359e7d521aa9ac441 .av-special-heading-tag .heading-char{\nfont-size:25px;\n}\n.av-special-heading.av-9d0ott-88c9d4c48873367359e7d521aa9ac441 .av-subheading{\nfont-size:15px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='av-special-heading av-9d0ott-88c9d4c48873367359e7d521aa9ac441 av-special-heading-h2  avia-builder-el-2  el_after_av_heading  el_before_av_heading '><h2 class='av-special-heading-tag'  itemprop=\"headline\"  >EXTERIOR<\/h2><div class=\"special-heading-border\"><div class=\"special-heading-inner-border\"><\/div><\/div><\/div> The C63 AMG Edition 507 comes in 3 different forms, coupe, estate and saloon. We had a go in the estate, which was a rare opportunity. The Edition 507 boasts wide wheel arches and a vented bonnet borrowed from the Black Series. It also has DTM inspired light-weight alloys and a subtle bootlid spoiler. This gives it a unique stance on the road, you could easily tell this from a standard C63 AMG. \n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-7h94r5-0b72e1878ca283f30dd26d2f22ccecb0\">\n#top .av-special-heading.av-7h94r5-0b72e1878ca283f30dd26d2f22ccecb0{\npadding-bottom:10px;\n}\nbody .av-special-heading.av-7h94r5-0b72e1878ca283f30dd26d2f22ccecb0 .av-special-heading-tag .heading-char{\nfont-size:25px;\n}\n.av-special-heading.av-7h94r5-0b72e1878ca283f30dd26d2f22ccecb0 .av-subheading{\nfont-size:15px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='av-special-heading av-7h94r5-0b72e1878ca283f30dd26d2f22ccecb0 av-special-heading-h2  avia-builder-el-3  el_after_av_heading  el_before_av_heading '><h2 class='av-special-heading-tag'  itemprop=\"headline\"  >INTERIOR<\/h2><div class=\"special-heading-border\"><div class=\"special-heading-inner-border\"><\/div><\/div><\/div> The interior has had a slight overhaul, the Edition 507 comes with sport seats and a bunch of new badges to remind you that you&#8217;re not in a standard C63 AMG.
