Is this the older version of a C63? They both look super nice!

No because thats a C-class which is quite a big smaller. This is an older version of an E63 :)

MB model numbers have always confused the shit out of me. It should be simple like BMW.... or they should name them. Too many CL,C,M,E,K plus numbers?! F that!

There is no older about it, they made E55's and E63's at the same time.. they were just different AMG engine options.
Their naming isn't difficult.. letters are the shape/model, and number is the engine size. Similar to BMW, who's first number is the shape/model, and the following is their engine size/model.

Actually they didnt make em at the same time brosif. E55s stopped in 06 and the E63 started in 07.
Also the engine size number scheme is dunzo! The new "63" cars are mostly 5.5L twin turbo v8s, but they didnt want to downsize the number on the car because they figured people didnt want to buy a "lesser" car even if the new engine was more powerful (a LOT more) and more economic to boot!

Interesting, I stand corrected. Didn't realize they had the same shapes in different Merc's, but upped their top engine offered in the AMG series in newer years. I still like the 55's better due to easier modding/hp adding.

Yeah their body code is the letters the car model carries but it is still confusing.

Look at all the different models you could own. Each with their own engine or few engine choices.... Plus some models have different lettering to indicate different things sort of like a talon being a Tsi and whatnot... not worth digging into.
