I don't get it. What's the AMG evolution package? It's a C7 that someone put AMG calipers on and painted the grill red. There's no body kit on it, it doesn't have AMG wheels, badging, instruments (although it's a little hard to tell but it doesn't have the silver C32 type plate in the instrument panel). It's a 4 cyl so it doesn't have the AMG C32 motor.
Scammers!

More correct is that the C7 is part of the evolution pack that the rest of the world gets. The Evolution AMG pack is the evo pack plus different front and rear bars (as this guy has), not AMG calipers (which this guy has) and 5 spoke AMG wheel's with 225/245 tyres (which they don't have).
What he has by the look of it is a evolution/C7 pack with upgraded brakes and the AMG body kit. If the owner had the 5 spoke wheels then it would be a ligit Evolution AMG C230.

Awaiting a new arrival...
Is that an AMG body kit or are those the real AMG Evolution front and rear bumpers? Notice the slight relocation of the front fogs and the lack of the rounded contour at the outside edge of the lower bumper where the US fogs sit?
Had my car not been delivered 2 days ago, I'd probably have flown to this car to inspect further...I could have learned to live with Magma.
I think the slight mods make the car look great.

Verified...
I went and built my own C-coupe at MB's swedish site.
There are two Evolution packages just as I stated above. One wich should be pretty similar to your C7 (same rims anyway) and one with AMG body styling and rims.

Notice the emergency brake pedal - it has the aluminum/rubber studs like the rest of the pedals. This is different than the rest of us in the US that have C7(which came with a standard type E-brake pedal). Who knows if C7s are now shipping this way or if the owner of this car added it on?

My C7 equipped car was built on March 10 and delivered to me on April 10 and does not have the E Brake matching pedal cover. That is AMG Evolution-specific in Europe. Time for a group buy for the pedal cover!
The hodge-podge of various options on this car intrigues me.

All of the above
I looked up the invoice by the VIN# and it is a regular US spec "C coupe" w/ C1, C4,C5, C7 and Comand. The brakes look like they are from a C32. The front spoiler ?, Aftermarket?

I'm personally curious about the brake upgrade. Renntech, any idea what this would cost/entail? Cross-drilled front rotors with AMG brakes would be a nice add-on to my C230...
