Mercedes-AMG GLC 63 Coupe Spied For The First Time

Back in June, Mercedes-Benzrevealed the new GLC, and it was a big deal. Its predecessor was thebrand's best-selling modelover the last two years, making it one of the automaker's most important offerings. Available as a traditional crossover oras a so-called coupe, it offers plenty of choices too, but not to lovers of speed. Not yet, anyway. TheAMG GLC 63is yet to be launched, and our spy photographers have been keeping us up to date as testing and development continue, but we shouldn't have too much longer to wait for a full reveal, as new images show that the sporty crossover should be almost ready for a reveal.

As is AMG's custom, the hotter model gains the Panamericana grille with its square grille mesh. You can also see the four square exhaust tips at the rear, which indicate that we're looking at the range-topper (the GLC 53 gets a quartet of rounded pipes). Sporty wheels wrapped in Michelin tires and a subtle spoiler on the rear tailgate further point to the vehicle's increased performance, as do the large brake calipers, here appearing in red. So what will motivate this monster? Well, the days of the V8 are all but behind us, and it's expected that the GLC 63 will use a hybridized four-cylinder.
