It costs 17,612 euros and combines numerous individual options with an exclusive look that is inspired by motorsport. The MANUFAKTUR alpine grey solid paint finish is a striking distinguishing feature.

The 20-inch AMG 5-twin-spoke forged wheels are painted matt black. The red rim flanges follow the colour scheme of the wheels of the Official FIA F1 Medical Car™ from Mercedes-AMG.

The AMG Aerodynamics Package improves handling at high speeds. Aerodynamic features include the larger front splitter, the redesigned longitudinal member panels and the additional diffuser board. The spoiler lip on the boot lid is reserved for the Saloon. The AMG Night Packages I and II also enhance the motorsport-inspired appearance of the "F1 Edition".

The interior is characterised by the contrast of black and red. The AMG Performance seats are upholstered in black Exclusive nappa leather with red topstitching and embossed AMG emblems in the front head restraints. Added to this are red seat belts and AMG trim elements in carbon fibre with red thread. The AMG Performance steering wheel in nappa leather/DINAMICA microfibre with red topstitching and the AMG door sill panels with red illuminated "AMG" lettering also follow the "F1 Edition" colour scheme.

The best looking C ever with the least appealing engines ever. Go figure.

The car LOOKS epic.

It's a shame the driving experience reviews have been pretty negative. Will be interesting to see how the market responds.

If it’s bad enough Mercedes may do something. I6 and V8 in for the facelift. The last ICE hurrah for the C.

The price is ridiculous for a compact sports saloon. This is probably the only C63 that is the most controversial and least special in its class. The demise of the V8 is a big mistake for Mercedes. It made all the previous C63 models a cut above the rivals due to the character and noise of those brilliant V8 engines.
