Mercedes
C63 AMG Coupe Edition 1
Mercedes-AMG
is bringing the C63 Coupé Edition 1 special model to the starting line. The
exclusive colour combination in designo Magno Selenite Grey with yellow film
coating and black wheels with yellow painted rim flanges reflects the graphic
design of the Frankfurt International Motor Show launch version of the
Mercedes-AMG C63 DTM racing coupé which will be used in the DTM next year. The
special model is equipped with Performance seats and an aerodynamics package,
highlighting its proximity to motorsport.
The
new Mercedes-AMG C63 Coupé and C63 S Coupé are also available as "Edition
1" special models from market launch. The extraordinary combination of
exclusive design and equipment characteristics is inspired by the optical
appearance of future Mercedes-AMG racing coupés which will compete in the
popular DTM series in 2016.
Two
exterior designs address different customer wishes. The first variant,
available exclusively for the S-Model is particularly striking: The colour
scheme in designo Magno Selenite Grey matt paint with yellow film coating
borrows the look of the Frankfurt International Motor Show launch version of
the 2016 C63 DTM and thus highlights its proximity to motorsport. Yellow sport
stripes adorn the engine bonnet, roof, boot lid as well as the side lines above
the rocker panels.
With
yellow painted rim flanges, the extremely light, matt black Performance forged
wheels in 5 double-spoke design also set a distinctive accent. Size 9.0J x 19
with 255/35 R 19 tyres are used at the front, 10.5J x 20 with 285/30 R 20 tyres
at the rear. The custom sports tyres offer a tangibly enhanced level of
traction on dry roads. The C63 S Coupé Edition 1 is equipped with ceramic
high-performance compound brake system offering the ultimate deceleration
values and lower unsprung mass, thus increasing performance on the racetrack.
The
exterior of the second Edition 1 variant is more restrained. The sport stripes
are rendered in graphite grey matt and the rim flanges of the matt black forged
wheels have a high-sheen cross-spoke design. Sport tyres and the ceramic
high-performance compound brake system are available as an option for this
variant. In addition, all exterior paints are available for this variant.
In
both variants, the AMG Aerodynamics Package in high-gloss black enhances the
racing-inspired appearance. The additional large front spoiler, specific side
skirts, lateral airflow breakaway edges in the rear apron, the specific rear
diffuser and the specific airflow break-away edge on the boot lid not only
reduce the lift but also sharpen the optical impression.
The
genuine racing feel continues in the interior. The AMG Performance seats are
upholstered in Nappa leather, including the colour yellow in the contrast
stitching of the specific diamond pattern. In addition, the more
sharply-contoured seat shape enhances lateral support, particularly in curves
taken at high speed. Yellow contrast stitching is also found in the door centre
panels, arm rests, the steering wheel rim as well as the beltline. Further
yellow accents adorn the instrument cluster, the AMG-specific analogue in IWC
design and the floor mats. With the Performance steering wheel of DINAMICA
microfibre featuring a flattened bottom, the driver always has the C63 Coupé
securely under control. The middle section trim in matt carbon colour also
gives the unmistakable signal of what the Edition 1 is about: Uncompromising
dynamics at the highest level.
The
technical set-up is ideal: strikingly flared front and rear wheel arches, an
increased track width and larger wheels give the new C63 Coupé a muscular look
while at the same time providing a basis for the highly agile longitudinal and
lateral dynamics. The AMG 4.0-litre V8 biturbo engine with 350 kW (476 hp) or
375 kW (510 hp) guarantees spectacular driving performance, supported by the
sophisticated AMG RIDE CONTROL suspension with electronically controlled shock
absorbers, the specific AMG DYNAMIC SELECT transmission modes, the rear-axle
limited-slip differential or the dynamic engine mounts in the C63 S Coupé.
