Mercedes plans line of ‘have-it-all’ cars

Mercedes has announced the newest versions of its top-selling C-class line, which will make their debut at the Frankfurt motor show and go on sale in summer 2016.

The 2017 Mercedes-Benz AMG C63 Coupe and Coupé S version are special not only because of their massive power (503 hp in the S) and speed (0-60mph in 3.8 seconds) but because they’re the latest members of a growing group of so-called have-it-all cars: Luxury saloons basically squished into the body of a coupé.

The idea is you get the elegant design and space of a posh towncar with the athleticism of a sports car. Foremost in this class are such vehicles as the BMW M4 Coupé and the Audi RS5.
