Starting this year, Mercedes has an official weapon against the most popular performance sedan of all times: the BMW M3. The Stuttgart-based manufacturer unveiled the new generation C63 AMG, a car that comes with a lot of power under the hood and some new safety system shared with its bigger brother, the S-Class.
