Fans of Mercedes performance saloons from the UK can rejoice! The new AMG C63 has officially received its pricing information for both the saloon and estate models.

Offered in a total of four variants (the two body styles and S or non-S), the C63 starts at a smidgen under £60,000. Standard kit includes Nappa leather-clad AMG sports seats, a three-spoke steering wheel, a mechanical locking rear diff, dynamic engine mounts, a subtle rear spoiler and 18-inch rims riding on 245/40 tires up front and wider 265-section at the back.

Should you be interested in plumping for the S model, with its 33 extra horsepower, it also adds 19-inch rims with 245/35 and 265/35 tires respectively. Brakes are also bumped in size for the S and the rear diff also gains electronic control (and a “Race” function).

As you can imagine, there are dozens of other features/upgrades that can be added, including full LED “Intelligent Light System,” ceramic brakes, a variable exhaust system, head-up display or a high-end Burmeister surround sound system.

An Edition 1 variant is also available in the UK for the very first time.

Mercedes-Benz showed the new limited C63 AMG Edition 1 in the flesh at the Paris Auto Show this week.

Like all Edition 1 models from Benz, the special C63 AMG relies on a host of exclusive design and equipment features to stand out from the regular versions of the series, with availability limited to the first year of production.

The Edition 1 package is offered on both the 470hp (476PS) C63 and 503hp (510PS) C63 S in either sedan or Wagon body style.

The most obvious changes on the outside over the regular C63s include the red accents on the radiator grille, door mirrors and the new 19-inch forged alloy wheels that are painted matte black. There are also grey decals on the side skirts, and gloss black and carbon fiber trimmings and accents.

You also get a black nappa lather interior with diamond pattern and red contrasting stitching, red seatbelts, a flat-bottom steering wheel in DINAMICA microfibre with red 12-o’clock marking and red contrasting stitching, plus numerous other bespoke touches for the trims.

The complete styling package includes a front lip apron that attaches on the bumper, a boot lid spoiler that hovers over the tail lamps, and a rear diffuser available in all sorts of colors that creates space for the new four-pipe exhaust system.

There are several alloy wheel options to choose from, such as the Carlsson 1/10 wheel available in both Brilliant and Titanium Editions in 18, 19 and 20-inch diameter, the 1/10 Graphite Edition in 19 and 20 inch sizes, and the 1/16 RS in Diamond and Titanium Editions in 18, 19 and 20-inch sizes.

For the suspension, the German tuner offers two set ups, a basic version with four sports springs that lower the ride height by 30mm and a height adjustable coil-over kit.

The sky's the limit when it comes to the interior as Carlsson says it can dress the cabin in whatever leathers and trims you like, from standard offerings to custom made fittings. Other options include illuminated floor mats and aluminum pedal sets.

Carlsson said it is currently working on performance improvements for all the engine variants of the W205 series.

Following updates for the Mercedes-Benz C-Class in standard specification or with Avantgarde or Exclusive Package, Brabus has released styling and performance upgrades for vehicles equipped ex-factory with AMG body styling.
