wow, amazing interior MB!

it's like the R107, W204 and W221 had a threesome love child baby.

Why are the edges of the screen so thick?

Suspect it may have something to do with crash dynamics? See 2nd part of this vid.

Looks like AMG interior to me

 

[lukeswiss]

^ Doesn't that circled part say 'airbag' ?

Looks like AMG interior to me

it is surely an AMG or at least a sport model interior. You can tell by the steering wheel, also the seats look more sporty than a normal version should.

 

[Amat46]

Oops my bad I think it does say Airbag

 

[Amat46]

I really liked the two layered dash with excessive use of brushed aluminium, it really gives a sense of richness to the interior.

...That screen.....

What an eye sore right? It's like a 28 inch CRT Panasonic TV slapped onto a dining table. The sculpting of the door panels and their parallel direction with the center console is melting my heat. What a beauty that the door panels are slightly tilted. It's such a shame the screen cannot be concealed in any way.

 

[DjordjeC63]

Yes it is C63, if you look at speedometer ''numbers scale'' go above 270kmh

 

[Amat46]

Wolf already explained MB's justification for not having an integrated screen. It has a practicality side to it unlike some (including some "fanboys") says an after thought.

 

[PHYBENZ]

Where you have circled says SRS Airbag.... Usually not an indication of AMG interiors only.

 

[Merc1]

Clearly that isn't an AMG interior with those flat looking seats.

The mats do have the AMG logo from what I can see, it wouldn't surprise me. And those seats are definitely not standard... they could be AMG seats, they kinda have the same pressed part as in the E-63, also on the door.

 

[W201]

It is probably AMG Style, but definitely not C63 AMG.

1. The dials would almost certainly have "V8 Biturbo" "4.0 V8", or some kind of moniker like that.
2. There are no additional: C/S/S+/M button - Traction control button - Damper settings button - AMG button.
3. My guess is gear lever will not be mounted on the steering wheel in the C63 AMG.
4. The speedometer shows 260 Km/h. C63 would probably have the usual 320 Km/h.

 

[SKY]

It is clear to me it is some kind of Edition 1.

 

[W201]

Not sure if this picture was posted before, but we can see the "graphic" of the C Class exterior.

I couldn't get it to post, but there is now an official press release and boy is it loaded:

The body has been designed for exemplary crash safety. The Saloon not only meets all current national laws, but also all rating requirements as well as the more stringent internal Mercedes-Benz safety requirements which are based on what actually happens during accidents.

That is Mercedes-Benz. End of Story.

Alternatively, the new C-Class is the first vehicle in its segment that can be fitted with an air suspension (AIRMATIC) on the front and rear axles. Thanks to electronically controlled, continuous variable damping at the front and rear, it offers outstanding road roar and tyre vibration characteristics even with the vehicle loaded. The driver can use a switch to select between the various damper characteristics: "Comfort", "ECO", "Sport" and "Sport Plus". The additional "Individual" setting allows the driver to configure the vehicle to suit their personal preferences.

AIRMATIC also features all-round self-levelling for optimum ride comfort even with the vehicle loaded. It automatically regulates the ride height as a function of speed and can, for instance, reduce fuel consumption and improve active safety by lowering the vehicle at motorway speeds. The ground clearance can also be increased at the push of a button using the ride height adjustment switch on rough roads or poor access roads.

Since neither the air struts at the front nor the free-standing air springs at the rear are responsible for wheel location and need to absorb transverse forces, AIRMATIC offers outstandingly comfortable driving characteristics which are otherwise the reserve of the luxury segment. It smooths out for passengers expansion joints, patches of asphalt and undulating asphalt caused by trucks braking at traffic lights.

Love it!
