For the new model year, there are two AMG models, including the G63 AMG that replaces the G55 AMG, and the limited production G65 AMG, which we're not sure if it will be available in the States.
The G63 AMG sports Mercedes' 5.5-liter twin-turbocharged and direct-injection V8 engine with a start and stop function that produces 536hp (544PS) and 760Nm (560 lb-ft) of peak torque.
A seven-speed automatic transmission and an all-wheel drive system with three separate differentials that can be manually locked transfer power to the wheels.

The sleek looking sedan concept is a precursor of the production model that will follow next year and which Mercedes will build at its new manufacturing facility in Hungary. Sources state that it will likely be named CLC or CLA.
Judging by the spy shots we've shown you over the past few months, while the production model will be closely based on the concept, it won't be so aggressive in the details.
In essence, the CSC is a CLS-style four-door coupe based on the latest A-Class with which it shares an elongated version of the MFA modular platform, its running gear, interior and driveline. Some of its potential rivals in the premium market include next year's Audi A3 sedan and possibly, a similar model from BMW based on the 1-Series.
In the same way that last year's A-Class Concept previewed the production model that was shown in Geneva this March, the CSC gives us an idea of what the four-door coupe model will look like when it arrives in the market sometime in 2013 as the CLC or CLA.
The study is based on an elongated version of the A-Class' MFA platform sharing the same running gear as the hatchback, including the 208hp (211PS) 2.0-liter boosted four-cylinder engine that drives all four wheels.
The exterior styling of the CSC is an evolution of the F800 Concept from 2010, which also inspired the design of the larger CLS. Suffice to say, the production model will sport a less aggressive shape and design details.

The time has come to see the design study as the first official photographs of the Mercedes-Benz Concept Style Coupe (CSC) landed on the web today, courtesy of the Germancarforums, in advance of its world premiere at next week's Beijing Auto Show.
The CSC looks like a development of the F 800 Style Concept displayed at the 2010 Geneva Motor Show with plenty of styling elements borrowed from the newer A-Class Concept shown in New York last year.
Mercedes-Benz's new MFA platform, which debuted on the production A-Class, underpins the CSC. The German brand's Audi A3 Sedan rival reportedly measures 4,637mm (182.6 inches) long making it 46mm (1.8 inches) longer than the current C-Class sedan.
