2013+ UK C63 507 - LSD standard or not?

[Durzel]

Hi,

Quick one really.. have been looking at C63s with a view to buy, and in particular a 507 edition has caught my fancy. The advert makes no mention of it having an LSD at all, either in the standard specification or optional equipment. The dealer is unable to supply a build sheet.

Some initial research has just bred more confusion as it appears to suggest that the LSD was standard equipment in some markets (e.g. Australia) but optional in others (e.g. US). I have also found what seems to be the option code for it - 471.

The dealer selling the aforementioned car, when provided with this option code, came back and told me that it is for a "mechanical diff" and that this specific option was only available on the Black Series. He went on to say that the 507 has - as standard - an electronic diff.

I don't feel informed enough to really argue this point at the moment, so am hoping that you guys will have some definitive information one way or the other.

Thanks in advance

Hi the c63 507 lsd was a option -


In the AMG instrument cluster, red applications serve to visually differentiate this variant from the other C 63 AMG models. The trim in high-gloss black piano lacquer look and the "Edition 507" badge on the trim on the front passenger side round off the high-quality, exclusive interior.

Optional extras available from the AMG Performance Studio include:


AMG door sill panels, illuminated in white featuring LED technology
AMG floor mats
AMG rear axle locking differential
AMG 5-spoke light-alloy wheels, painted in titanium grey and with a high-sheen finish, with tyres in sizes 235/40 R 18 (front) and 255/35 R 18 (rear)
AMG Performance suspension
AMG Performance Media
AMG carbon-fibre/high gloss black piano lacquer-look trim.

Thanks. So this "electronic diff" stuff is basically nonsense?
