Mercedes Benz Cars’ high-performance Mercedes AMG line has built a limited edition of its highly successful C 63 compact sports car to be exclusively released in Australia.  The special edition is an enhanced version of the C 63 AMG which made its debut last year in the Bathurst motor racing circuit. 

The Australian market’s enthusiastic response drove local sales of the Mercedes C 63 beyond expectations.

In response to the unprecedented demand for the C 63 AMG, its makers decided to release a very limited number of the Mercedes C 63 AMG units exclusively for Australians: the Mercedes C63 AMG Edition 63.

Powertrain

Edition 63 is powered by the award-winning 6.3-litre V8 engine with an output of 336kW and a maximum torque of 600 Nm.  It accelerates from 0-100 km/h in 4.5 seconds.  Power is transmitted by a seven-speed AMG Speedshift 7G-TRONIC gearbox.

Handling

Driving the Edition 63 is characterized by a ‘race car’ feel, owing to its three-link front suspension which was specially designed for AMG’s C-class range.  Its multi-link rear suspension system ensures a comfortable ride.

Industrial themed exterior

Edition 63 is available in three exclusive designo colours:

* designo Platinum Black (high gloss),
* designo Mystic White (high gloss) and
* designo magno Allanite Grey (matte)

The finish in Allanite Grey gives a unique sports car look to the Edition 63 series. 

Dark tinted privacy glass comes with the Edition 63 when you purchase the estate version.  Unlike the C 63 AMG, Edition 63 sports a stunning DTM-style 19-inch alloy wheels.  Its multi-space wheels are painted in titanium grey with a high-sheen finish and come with matching high-performance tires.

Interior

Inside the Edition 63, its seats are upholstered in soft leather and appear in either of two sophisticated colours:  designo sand and designo classic red.The interior appearance is pulled together black leather and the chosen upholstery colour. 

As you enter the front seats, blue lights illuminate the door sills.  AMG Performance Studio completes the interior of the Edition 63 with AMG floor mats and the AMG crest engraved on top of the gearshift lever.

Comfort features

All Edition 63 models utilise the KEYLESS-GO automatic drive authorisation system while the estate variant comes with the EASY-PACK push-button automatic tailgate.

Mercedes-Benz Cars announced that the Mercedes C 63 AMG Edition 63 is scheduled to hit the Australian market in November this year with only 63 units available.
