What are the differences between C63 V C63S

New member, up in Canada so might be different down south.


Wondering what the differences are between the base and the S ?


I know the base has a mechanical rear diff (instead of electrical), a higher red line, 7200 rpm as opposed to 7000 rpm.


S has a race mode, where as base does not.


Assuming same engine just tuned differently for power and torque !


Difference in Canada is about $9000, so wondering what else you get.


Thanks

I believe on the C63s leather is standard($2.6K USD)
Also 19" rims that are a $750 option on the C63.

The S has active engine mounts and bigger brakes with red callipers. I'm not 100% sure on brake size.

Brakes are bigger on the S model. Hence the reason for the 19" Wheel being standard.

I remember seeing a pdf breaking down the differences between the S and non S. I can't seem to find that post anymore. Anyone mind reposting the pdf? Thanks.

God. I wish i lived in the US. Your cars are so much more pimped out with standard equipment. More than 80% of your included **** is extra for me in sweden.

Hey fellow Canadian.

Other than the performance differences already mentioned in this thread, it's worth noting that the C63S comes with many features that are optional on the C63 as standard. If you were planning on getting things such as the leather interior, 19 inch wheels, and performance steering wheel on the C63, the price difference drops to around $2000.
