Work to retro-install the aero kit on my car is completed, should be taking delivery on Monday. Then scheduled the car for tints, xpel and ceramic, dashcam, and door handle chrome delete. Super excited and congrats to all the new owners!
I found a unicorn without an owner...sadly i already placed an order so I'm waiting for mine til next year but whoever in Seattle don't wanna wait and looking for one i can point the way. I would like to help a forum member.
We just got this one in if anyone is interested.. white with black and red performance seats, carbon fiber trim and steering wheel, black cross forged wheels, aero , both lcd screens, HUD
Those are the standard AMG seats. I'm probably the only guy on the forum who isn't fond of the look of the performance seats. Not real keen on carbon fiber, either. But that means the cars I order end up being a bit unique. Just personal preference.
Me neither. Also not a fan of the digital cluster 🙈

i can understand the seats but have you seen the digital cluster in person? i was iffy but when i actually saw it the analog cluster looked atrocious to me after that.

I spent months trying to track down 2019s without the digital cluster. Analog was one of my must haves, but no dealers had cars spec'd like that.
Finally showed up at the dealer when they said they had a car for me that I could take home that day, sat in front of the digital cluster and was blown away.
If you, like me, aren't a fan of the supersport display, the regular sport display gives that analog feel but looks 100x better in my opinion.

That's interesting. I never quite understood what the appeal behind an analog speedometer is. Especially with the kinds of top speeds that these cars are capable off, the upper half to 2/3 of the dial is rarely if ever used in most countries. The Supersport layout is the primary reason I went for the digital cluster, closely followed by the shift light animations in manual mode, so I can quickly see in my peripheral vision when I need to upshift before bumping into the rev limiter. The Supersport layout puts the important parts of a performance car front and center and gives a quick and exact readout of the current speed. It takes longer for the eyes and brain to determine the actual speed from an analog gauge. Then by eliminating the speedometer dial, there's room left and right to show other useful information such as the important car temperatures and performance information. Maybe it's because I drive the car like it's meant to be, and the Supersport layout gives me all the information I need when driving spirited in an easy to see layout, so I can focus on the road.

Yes I saw it in a c63 and we have it in the RS4, still prefer the analog

I feel like one space in the middle of the screen is enough for me in terms of information. At the end of the day, these are well built cars and if you'd like to see the temperatures and whatnot, you can, but its rarely going to show you any surprises.
I also really like how the regular sport display utilizes the shape of the cluster housing.
Supersport does look awesome though, and I would definitely switch over to it if only it showed an actual number for the fuel tank. I hate the fact that all I see is a bar and no number corresponding to how much fuel I have.

You mean it doesn't show miles-to-empty or what number are you looking for? If you bring up the appropriate display on the right side you can see miles-to-empty and if you have navigation going that same bar graph shows another arrow with miles-to-destination, so you see in one view if there is enough fuel to make it to the destination. This is the view I generally use if I go on a longer trip, and then on the left side I either have the performance information up like here, or turn-by-turn navigation instructions, or the driving assist information depending on what I'm most interested in. For daily driving, miles-to-empty isn't really relevant. I fill up when I have about a 1/4 tank left.

I like to see a miles to empty number. Yeah it may not be necessary, I also try to fill up at a quarter tank anyways. But I wish they didn’t have to get rid of that number by the bar at the bottom of the display. Under the AMG logo it shows the bar but no numerical representation.
I definitely don’t want a third of the screen for that info as you’ve shown in your photo. First world problems I guess lol
Nice! My 2020 C63s Coupe got a ship assigned yesterday, wonder if it's possible that they are on the same ship. It was built way back in September but wasn't sent to the port for a ship assignment because of a back order on the carbon fiber packages.
It was sent to the port last week on the 13th and was assigned a ship yesterday.

Odd. I submitted my order Aug 30 and car was built end September and just arrived. Good luck.

Lucky you, did you get any of the cf packages? I got both as well as aero pack, night pack and cf trim inside. I ordered mine back in May. Finished production September 20th but only got to the port on the 13th and had a ship assigned yesterday. I'm guessing it was a back order, not sure what else it could've been...

Yes, CF 1 and CF2, aero, no night. CF trim inside. Looking back at my emails, my salesman allowed me to change options as of Aug 30, and on Sep 17 he told me car would be getting built in a couple weeks. I guess getting on the ship is luck of the draw.
I wish Merc had a tracking system like BMW does, to appease my OCD without bothering the salesman.

Its not a specific car tracking system per se, but your salesman can get you the ship its on and you can go to any of the marine tracking websites and slowly watch it makes it's progress.
