When I was at the 2016 New York Auto Show (NYIAS) this year, I was mighty impressed with one stand in particular. That was Mercedes-Benz's booth. As usual it was in the far corner in between the likes of Lexus and BMW.
The big debuts for the show came in form of Mercedes-AMG's all-new 43s. That would include the C43 Coupe, E43 sedan and GLC43 sport-utility vehicle. Sure, the C63 S Convertible came out but for whatever reason it didn't get me too fired up.
I was all about the GLC43.
I was having a conversation with the German product manager of the GLC and when I asked him about the possibility of a GLC63 he never said yes. BUT, he never said it was off the table. He sort of dodged the question and gave a smirk.
Well, now we can confirm with certainty that this vehicle has been given the green light. That's because there's all-new video of the V8-powered GLC.
It may be short but it's very clear there's a V8 mill under the hood. Expect similar tuning as seen in the C63 and C63 S models. In other words 469 and 503 horsepower, respectively.
