Fans of AMG’s amazing naturally aspirated M156 V-8 may yet have the chance to buy one. We’ve found out that Mercedes-Benz will continue to offer the outgoing-generation C63 AMG coupe through the spring of 2015, when production officially draws to a close.
The awesome new twin-turbocharged 2015 Mercedes-AMG C63 (notice the name change from “Mercedes-Benz” to “Mercedes-AMG”) will be launched shortly, but the outgoing, possibly even more awesome C63 AMG will briefly sit alongside in showrooms this coming spring—provided there are any left, that is. As a bonus, this isn’t a Euro-only last call; the new 2015 C63 sedan arrives stateside in March, and we’re quite sure the old C63 coupe will be sold here until at least that time (again, provided there are any left).

We can see why Benz might want to keep the old C63 around for at a little while longer. Besides boasting the absolutely epic M156—instead of the new C63′s M177—the two-door gives the automaker, well, a high-performance two-door to sell, since at launch, the new C63 lineup will consist only of sedan and Estate wagon (Europe-only, sadly) variants.
