About the Mercedes-AMG C63 S 177.980 Engine

The Mercedes-AMG M177 — engine code 177.980 in C63 S specification — is the hand-built twin-turbocharged V8 that replaced the naturally aspirated M156/M159 in AMG’s C-Class application when the W205 generation was introduced. The transition to forced induction was initially met with scepticism by AMG enthusiasts, but the M177’s combination of 375 kW (510 hp) in C63 S tune, 700 Nm, and a 0–100 km/h time of 3.9 seconds quickly established it as one of the most capable and exciting compact performance car engines available from any manufacturer.

The hot-vee twin-turbo layout — with both turbochargers positioned inside the V of the engine — provides fast spool-up and a power delivery character that, despite being turbocharged, is notably immediate and progressive. AMG’s calibration of the M177 for the C63 S prioritises outright performance across a very broad RPM range, giving the car a driving character that distinguishes it clearly from the standard C63’s 476hp output.

The 177.980 code specifically identifies the higher-output C63 S variant — producing 510hp versus the standard C63’s 476hp (177.984 or related code). Buyers should confirm their vehicle carries the C63 S specification and the 177.980 code before purchasing. The W205 C63 S was available as a saloon (W205), estate (S205), coupé and cabriolet (C205) — all sharing this engine.
