W206 C63s E Performance First Look

I had the opportunity to put eyes on an early production C63 today.

Some notable mentions-
  • ~38 psi from Garrett turbocharger
  • 469hp output from M139 engine
  • 94hp continuous output from electric motor and 201hp maximum
  • Optional All-Season tires for the first time
  • 40% loss in trunk space due to electrical components

Is that High Tech Silver ? Stunning colour with lots of metallic flecks, looks fantastic on the recently unveiled GT Coupe as well.

FWIW despite all the controversy speaking subjectively it's easily the best looking sedan in it's class, inside and out.

Do you by any change remember the chassis number? Curiously how long ago trial production started.

This one was Cirrus Silver. Unfortunately for now, that isn't an available paint code.

I didn't catch it. I do know that it was an extremely early production car that was flown over with a few others to have the snot kicked out of them. This one has 1k miles at Barber Motorsports Park alone on top of being run all over the NE region of the US.

Yeah, I was going to ask as i didnt see that colour as an option on the order guide. Looks beautiful though. Was this just a demo model or how did they get it? I havnt seen too many C63s in North America yet. Usually its always been somewhere in Europe. Did they allow a test drive at all or is it just for use but MB staff?

It was a dealership training car. And they don't usually let anyone drive except for the amg trainers who drove it in. Yes they drive they across the country from Alabama.

FWIW - Cirrus Silver is the same as High Tech Silver. They just call it high tech across the pond.
