2018 Mercedes-AMG GLC 63 S VS 2018 Ford Mustang Convertible
2018 Mercedes-AMG GLC 63 S:
A Small CUV with 469 HP of V-8 Fury: Mercedes-Benz’s thinly sliced SUV pie is getting divvied up yet again, and the latest addition to the lineup could be one of the most delicious pieces yet. AMG’s latest creation, the V-8–powered GLC63 4MATIC, stuffs the glorious hand-built 4.0-liter V-8 engine into the engine bay of the compact GLC-class crossover and its GLC coupe sibling (covered separately).

Mercedes is quoting a 3.9-second zero-to-60-mph run for the GLC63—and given our 4.5-second result for the GLC43, which is 107 horsepower less powerful, that number might prove to be an understatement. AMG’s familiar nine-speed automatic transmission, with a multiplate clutch that replaces a torque converter, comes standard, as does a performance-oriented 4MATIC+ all-wheel-drive system, which features a limited-slip rear differential that varies front-to-rear torque distribution on the fly....
