2016 Mercedes-AMG C 63 DTM first view
Next year's DTM is going to see a new Mercedes-AMG contender. Named C 63 DTM, its styling has been influenced by the just-launched, road-going C-Class Coupé.
Beneath the skin, unchanged technical regulations mean that many components are carried over from the current DTM C-Coupé. Some aerodynamic elements have to be identical, for instance, and the car is still built around a carbon fibre monocoque with an integrated steel roll cage.
Likewise, a normally-aspirated 4.0 litre V8 will continue to provide power. This engine delivers an output of 483 bhp (360 kW / 490 PS), which is sent to the rear wheels via a six-speed sequential transmission. Peak torque meanwhile is 500 Nm (368 lb/ft).
A testing programme for the C 63 DTM is due to commence during the winter.
