2012 C63 AMG Sedan
"The C63 AMG “Editon 507” coupe and sedan replace the existing AMG Development Package for MY2014, and will be sold in the U.S. in addition to the existing C63 AMG coupe and sedan with 451 hp."

That's what I read on another site.

Optional extras include:
• AMG illuminated door rocker panels
• AMG rear axle locking differential
• AMG 5-spoke light-alloy forged wheels, painted in titanium grey and with a high-sheen finish, with tires in sizes 235/40 R 18 (front) and 255/35 R 18
(rear)
• AMG Performance Media
• AMG carbon-fiber/high gloss black piano lacquer-look trim
• Exterior designo magno platinum matte finish paint; four other exterior paint colors will be available from the existing C63 AMG palette.

Given the fact that it has the CF interior, a matte finish, LSD and performance packaged plus the illuminated door sills you are looking at least 10-12K over the standard.

Seeing as the BS has long been sold out, I don't think it matters.

It's the same brakes from the P31 package. It's not the Black Series brakes.

Also looks like it has the stupid glass roof.
Cooling is the same as the standard C63.

It's a nice final year send off model with some BS pieces (hood, ECU), and every C63 option that was available over the years to keep sales number up a little before the new MY2015 model.

That I think sums it up

As for pricing, expect it to be lower than what it costs to option up a C63 to the max today. MB does this before every facelift/new model introduction. The 2011 C63 Affalterbach was fully loaded pre-facelift model with a discount (free Matte paint if I remember right). This is basically the "Affalterbach model" before the redesign. For the other MB lines, they called it the Avantgarde edition. It's a genius way to boost sales numbers of the final year model, because a lot of people wait for the next year to try to avoid early depreciation of the "final year" models. By packing all options in there and giving a discount, MB basically eats the extra depreciation on your behalf.

It's a great deal if you love the 6.2L V8, because it's definately not coming back in MY2015.

i kinda miss the stock C63 sound .. on another note though, nothing here that can't be done with 5-6 k, which they will probably add to the price tag .. that steering wheel and the shift knob though are DEADLY

(a)'12 C63 P/P, LSD, 19" m/spoke,comfort pack. (b)Astra SRI.
Question

The 507 has better brakes than the development package does it not, also has more power, & the B.S. Hood.
So, that's what we know.......what we don't know is price.....which will be very interesting, especially in Aus, where we get raped, an optioned C63 can cost $200K+ in Aus!!!!...and remember the U.S. & Aussie $ is pretty close....so yeah, in Aus, the price will be VERY interesting?
Cheers, Pickles.

the 507 has the same brakes as the development package. I'm still predicting the price to be less than a fully optioned out C63.

507 states "composite" brakes?.....is that the same as P.P?....Also on the AMG images for the 507 there is a large detailed photo of the brake hub & the disc. The disc is attached via 8 individual bolts...Is that the same as P.P.?
Cheers, Pickles.

This 507 is sure rattling everyone...

It's a performance package with the BS hood and different wheels, don't get too excited.

Composite rotors are what comes on the P30 package. They are two piece floating rotor with aluminum hat.

The P31 packages comes with two piece solid rotors. They don't float, but have the aluminum hat.

One piece steel vs composite floating rotors off the P30.
