Future C63 Owner checking in

Hey guys. I'm new here. I'm looking to get into a 2015 C63 Coupe at the top of 2018 and joined here to do some research. I look forward to joining the MB club.

I do have a first question, not sure if this is the correct section to get the proper eye on it though. While shopping for a C63 Coupe how can I tell if it is an S besides the red calipers? Is there a way to verify using the VIN?

Thanks guys!

I used THIS site when shopping for new to see what options, colors, etc. cars had when pictures weren't posted. Pretty handy tool and the only site I've found that really gives everything.

Note that you can only do three checks/day, but if you have more than one computer....

Welcome to the forum! and great choice going for the C63 coupe, you won't be disappointed.

I think you've mixed the model years up though. If you're looking for a C63S coupe then its the 2016/17 C205 C63 coupe you want.

Without having to check the VIN, the external differences are:

The 'C63s' badge

The front A-wing (section around the front air-vents) is body-coloured on a base C63 but black and chrome on an S (unless it has the night or carbon pack then it will be all black or all carbon).

The brake rotors on an 'S' don't just have red calipers, they're also larger and have a different perforation pattern than the standard C63 brakes.

Here are links to the official AMG webpages of each:

AMG GLC63 E-Performance Edition 1
1) Performance exhaust
2) 19/20 wheels
3) Bigger red caliper breaks or optional carbon ceramics
4) Rear badge with C63's'

To answer your question, yes you can use the VIN to identify each vehicle made. I'm not sure where though... I'm sure someone could shed some light on this.

Thanks for all the response and info guys. Very helpful. So the C63 S was introduced in 2016? Was Race mode available on any 2015 models?
