It’s been three years since the Mercedes-AMG C63S Coupe Edition 1 was introduced, but the performance and design of the sports car certainly never gets old. So what’s it like driving it again?
Carbon Lifestyle, recently released a video review of the car that lets us revisit just how awesome it was when it first came out and how it remains cool up to this day.
Design
The Mercedes-AMG C63S Coupe Edition 1 was inspired by the Mercedes-AMG C63 DTM racing coupe. The two-door car comes with the same color combination as its race car counterpart. The exterior showcases a grey matt paint with yellow stripes running across the auto’s hood all the way to the boot. The same theme is applied to the lower part of the side panels, mirror caps, brake calipers and wheel rims. In addition, it is defined by racing-inspired black gloss meshes, large front spoiler, side skirts, rear diffuser and chrome-plated tailpipes.
Inside the range-topping AMG C-Class are leather-clad, front sports seats complete with chrome embellishments on the headrests. To match its exterior accents, the upholstery also features yellow stitching. These include seats that are adorned with diamond stitching patterns.
Performance
The icing on the Mercedes-AMG C63S Coupe Edition 1 is its powerful engine that produces 503 hp and 516 lb-ft of torque. The numbers propel the car from 0-62 mph in just four seconds while the top speed is limited to 155 mph. There is an option to raise the max speed to 180 mph with the optional package from AMG though.
