fwiw: "Although it displaces 6.208 liters, the engine will be marketed as the "6.3" to comply with German car tax laws, which require them to be rounded up to the nearest 100 cc." In addition, AMG wanted to pay homage to the famous 6.3 of the past.

If truth in advertising upsets anyone, then just take off the badges and then you've got a whatever liter AMG.

Thanks for posting that; I didn't know the exact size and why it's marketed as '6.3L.' Like you said though, torque is torque and this C63 has got plenty of it...and that big 6.208L engine + exotic quad AMG exhaust sound...OMG, simply amazing!!!!
