New photos showing the upcoming Mercedes-AMG C63 Coupe have been released.

This fresh set of pictures comes from the Hockenheimring race track, where the new high-power C-Class Coupe was undergoing final testing. This is the first time we have seen the entire car from front to back, though it is still covered in camouflage.

Still, it’s not hard to see that the coupe will look pretty similar to the new C-Class sedan.

Under the hood of the C63 Coupe will be the same 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 as the sedan, which is offered in two states of tune. The base model gets 470 hp while opting for the S model will open the tap to 503 hp. A seven-speed dual-clutch transmission and rear limited slip differential will get that power to the ground.

Watch for the Mercedes-AMG C63 Coupe to be revealed on August 19 before it’s first public showing at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September.
