Hi mb are releasing a very very limited edition c63 =

Bumped into a guy from MB this week who said that a new 'hot' version of the C63 is due to be released very soon. called the C63 DR520 AMG. The DR520 refers to 'Derestricted' and the power output. It will have a full Brabus alcantara interior and will come in 2 colours only including matt black.

it is a limited edition of 22 cars so you wont see many on the roads or in any showroom it comes in saloon or estate.

there will be 2 colours obsidian black and callcite wht then wrapped matt black or matt white.

power is up to 520 bhp done by brabus with alacantara seats and dash.

3 have been reserved for the racing drivers+manager at mclaren,3 at brawn mercedes,1 goes to the brabus museum and 1 will be the pace car for the dtm touring car.

i think most are already sold out.

DR Series C-Class which will be based
on the C63 AMG. It will be a limited production run 15 saloon's & 5
Estate's that will only be available through our dept at Weybridge.

Our cars will produce 520BHP over the 457 BHP (487BHP with the Performance
Package Plus). We'll offer them in Matt White or Matt Black with Black
Multi-Spoke Alloy wheels, leather dash and door tops with red stitching to
match the brake callipers, alcantara seat inserts as per the SLR 722 S. The
pricing will be circa £69k for the estate

Hi cheifski....I very nearly did!

But....what most people won't know is that AMG know nothing about this 'special' and are actually not very pleased with MB UK for doing it (with Brabus)! Or, so they told me when I went there last week and questioned this model with them!

It's also a little overpriced - special edition or not, my C63 PPP is currently having a full custom leather interior fitted by the AMG Performance Studio in Germany. When I get it back in a couple of weeks, it's having a Kleeman wand waved over the ECU (just their 'entry level' K1 option giving a paltry 530bhp wink) and some decent KW coilovers (in fact, the exact same units as MB fit to their CLK63 Black Series).

And the price of all of this including the cost of my 4-week old C63?? £3k LESS than MB's special!

I reckon I might just have the most unique and possibly, just possibly, best performing C63 in the UK in a couple of weeks. Or I should have just bought a 997 TT??? banghead

Fair point rottie - but my point is, both of them will drop big money.
