Earlier this year, Mercedes-Benz announced that they would be adding 10 new models to the AMG roster by 2017 and now we know what two of those models will be. According to reports, the brand is expected to launch the GLC63 and GLC63 Coupe, which are said to feature the same drivetrain as the upcoming Mercedes-AMG E63.
Mercedes-AMG CEO Tobias Moers broke the news about the GLC63 and GLC63 Coupe in a recent interview with Car Advice. When speaking about the all-new Mercedes-AMG E63 model arriving on the market, he let be known that all 63 models slated to hit dealerships in the future will come with the same innovative drivetrain.
“We are in the final phases of doing the new E63, with the totally new drivetrain, with a new four-wheel-drive system engineered by us. And in our understanding, all other 63 models coming up to the market, they have to use the new, more sophisticated drivetrain,” Moers said.
Although all the new 63 models will share the same drivetrain, it’s unlikely the GLC63 and LGC63 Coupe will offer the same power as the E63. The latter model is expected to deliver close to 550 horsepower, while the GLC63 and GLC63 Coupe will offer slightly lower outputs.
