Read about it here: The Performance Studio Edition C63

This one is only coming to Japan, but it's still one of the coolest factory built special editions for the C63 we've seen. Matte black paint, a performance boost and a custom interior make it unique. Also, it makes it expensive. Like nearly $200,000 expensive.

Read about it in the story above or jump to the gallery here. Do you think it's worth it?

192K for a C63? No thanks.

_timothy

do you know what is the price of a black series over there? i wonder how it compares...

Not bad of a price for Japan. A used ML usually goes for 3 to 6 million.

that much for an used ML!!! but those seats r by far the best looking seat for the 63

Thats how much my C63 cost in Australia.

Indeed. In the US we're lucky; our cars are considerably cheaper than the rest of the world. Everywhere else suffers because of import tariffs; Japan heavily taxes non-domestic cars.

No clue.

Wow!! 192k will buy you a used Ferrari 430 Scuderia in the states.
How much GT-R's or 997TT's cost out there?

So true in Thailand, a regular c class is prob close to 70-120k us depending on options.

Lol yup! I am from Thailand but go to school in the US, and my c220 CDI in Thailand cost more than my c63 in the US hahaha.

A Nissan GTR is the most affordable and bang for your buck option at around 160-170k new. A 997 Turbo is looking at ~400k. Top of the range TurboS Cab is 474k drive away (no options). So tick a couple of boxes and a Turbo will not get you much change from 500k.

Most expensive is probably a Phantom at around 1.1-1.2 million AUD. Which is near as 1.1/1.2million USD as well.

_timothy

those prices are after your Luxury Car Tax right?

sbce90

Yes. LCT is the best thing that ever happened to Australian car sales......

But, even without LCT prices are high. LCT on my C63 was ~29k, so even without LCT the car would be 160k.

... and i grumble about 6.5% lol

I love (sarcastic) how MB does these little marketing gimmicks and "special" packages to get rid of some inventory or models that are at the end of the cycle to flush them out...

sbce90

Not as bad as BMW though. There have been sooooooooooo many special edition E90/2 M3s, and regular 3s as well.

shauni

standard C63 here in south africa costs $107K

Harold1898

let me tell you my wife and kids cost many times the cost of my C63 and that was $188k.

Price notwithstanding, that C63 is incredible - especially the interior!
