I Would be tempted if it had 4 wheel drive as it does look good with the black body kit but i know i would have a complete lack of talent one day and end up in a ditch with all that power to the rear wheels

i know my limitations and a driving god i'm not and rear wheel drive up here in jockland where it either raining with a hint of snow or snowing with a hint of rain isnot a good choice it you only have 1 car

Not up to speed on models and specs of Mercs....however it seems as if it's a black edition?..

Think that includes PPP pack which brings limited slip diff etc et cc

I reckon this would give a standard C6 a run for its money?

Also body kit is proper AMG so I'd expect good quality?

Never been a real fan of mercs but I'm very tempted by this one!!...one of a kind too.

They sound unreal.

Titan wheels and that car would be unreal.

Glad to see this thread has started some good banter...I think the red one is a modified 507. Great looking motor but not convinced on the interior. The 507 is the normal 63 with performance pack and a few cosmetic changes. Still don't think it comes with LSD as standard. The 507 is a real contender for me to the RS 4 but it's another 10 k or c100 quid a month more on pcp than the standard one. I also feel that the RS will hold it's value more due to the number of C63s in the market by the time you include saloon and coupes.

Great to hear some honest advice. Looks like I will be paying my deposit tomorrow for the RS. Interesting to hear comments on Tweaking the exhaust noise...Anything I'm missing apart from changing for an aftermarket replacement?

They didn't do a Estate black edition...

But C63 estates are super rare in themselves, but this one, depending on the quality of the conversion is epic!!

Merc = taxi :bigwave:

Go ask the same question on Pistonheads…..you'll get a more balanced answer ;)

(I'd say that as I've just ordered RS4, guy at work has C63 and he likes it but preferred his B7 RS4 as a 12 month all rounder)

That car with black leather (2 x kids makes beige or cream leather impossible for me) and titanium coloured wheels would be superb.
In fact, it's got me looking at C63's again
