Mercedes-AMG C 63 Coupe Touring Car 2014

The Mercedes-AMG C 63 Coupe Touring Car 2014, officially referred to as Mercedes-Benz C-Coupé DTM or Mercedes-Benz C-Klasse Coupé DTM, is a DTM race car by Mercedes-Benz. It was added to the Asphalt series in the Enduro Update for Asphalt 8: Airborne.

Overview
It is the successor to the Mercedes-Benz C-Klasse which was permanently retired after the 2011 season. The AMG C-Coupé DTM is based on the Mercedes-Benz C-Coupé. Mercedes-Benz chose the IAA International Motor Show in Frankfurt to present the new 2012 DTM AMG Mercedes C-Coupé. The new car is the successor to the AMG Mercedes C-Class, which scored 84 victories in 156 races to become the most successful vehicle in the 27-year history of the DTM. HWA AG began development, design and construction of the DTM AMG Mercedes C-Coupé in June 2010. The first chassis was assembled in June 2011, with the first vehicle completed in August.

The DTM AMG Mercedes C-Coupé was designed to meet the new and improved safety concept for 2012, which includes a state-of-the-art carbon fibre monocoque and a roll cage made of high strength steel. In order to improve driver protection in the event of an accident, all safety-related components such as the fire extinguishing system and fuel tank have been incorporated into the monocoque. Furthermore, each vehicle is equipped with six crash structures to give the driver additional protection to the front, rear and sides. These carbon fibre crash structures are designed to gradually absorb impact energy, so that the driver is not exposed to high deceleration forces.

The new safety concept was developed jointly by rights holder and promoter ITR e.V., the DMSB and the three manufacturers – Audi, BMW and Mercedes-Benz. In order to verify the performance of the DTM safety concept, the DMSB developed a test programme, which was carried out and analyzed by DEKRA, the independent testing organization. All tests were completed without any problems.

The new DTM AMG Mercedes C-Coupé is based on the latest Mercedes-Benz C-Class Coupé, which celebrated its world premiere in summer 2011. The C-Class Coupé rounds off Mercedes-Benz's best-selling range and is offered with a choice of five engines – two diesel and three petrol units – developing from 115 kW (156 hp) to 225 kW (306 hp). The C-Class Coupé is manufactured at the Mercedes-Benz plant in Bremen. It’s the fourth model to be built on a single production line alongside the saloon and estate versions, plus GLK – a new production method for Daimler.

Asphalt 8: Airborne
The Mercedes-Benz C-Coupé DTM, renamed to Mercedes-AMG C 63 Coupe Touring Car 2014, was added to the game in the Enduro Update. It is the only Research & Development car of the update.

Ther Mercedes-AMG C 63 Coupe Touring Car 2014 has a starting rank of 1313, a MAX rank of 1593 (just 5 points below the Lamborghini Huracán), and a MAX+PRO rank of 1754. The Tuning Kit bonus for this car is +54 rank points. Its main rivals are the Hennessey Venom GT, Peugeot Onyx, SSC Ultimate Aero XT, and Lamborghini Aventador LP 700-4.

The Mercedes-AMG C 63 Coupe Touring Car 2014 performs surprisingly well for a car with its nitro stat, which actually gives the car better nitro efficiency than normal. The C 63 has the advantage of an extreme acceleration and launch, a la ONUK Sazan LM. In addition, the C 63's handling and drifting capabilities are among the best in its class, capable of taking on technical tracks without a lot of difficulty. Overall, the car is capable for use on any track.

However, it has the disadvantage of a lower top speed than the Sbarro Alcador, as well as having an extremely small display speed multiplier of 99.94%. Despite this, the Mercedes-AMG C 63 Coupe Touring Car 2014 is capable of beating the Hennessey Venom GT, Peugeot Onyx, SSC Ultimate Aero XT, and the Lamborghini Aventador LP 700-4. Its real total speed at MAX+PRO with a Tuning Kit is 296.40 mph (477.21 km/h).

All in all, the Mercedes-AMG C 63 Coupe Touring Car 2014 is a great choice and the fastest Mercedes-Benz car in the game, beating the Mercedes-Benz Silver Lightning. The car, when properly tuned, becomes a formidable weapon in World Series races; however, don't tune it up past 1586 if you want to use the car for multiplayer.

It is possible to give the car MP tuning during its R&D while winning the car, but that setup- 0505 MAX, 3050 PRO will place it above 1586 (the car will have a rank of 1598 with such setup).

The Mercedes-AMG C 63 Coupe Touring Car costs when available for a limited time, and  /  to max out, making it the 8th most expensive A Class car to upgrade.

Availability
Following the conclusion of its R&D event, the Mercedes-AMG C 63 Coupe Touring Car 2014 was made available for a limited time from August 19, 2016 to August 21, 2016, in conjunction with an owners-only cup.
