New Mercedes-AMG C63 S Coupe 2020 pricing and spec detailed: Hardcore Aero Edition 63 blasts in
Mercedes-AMG will release just 63 examples of the Aero Edition 63, which is based on the brand’s go-fast mid-size coupe, priced at $188,600 AUD before on-road costs (Over $202,000 AUD driveaway or $133,900 USD).
Priced $17,200 AUD above the standard C63 S Coupe, the Aero Edition 63 adds a number of aerodynamic, cosmetic and performance enhancements over the donor car.
The most obvious giveaway is the reworked rear spoiler, new front splitter and air-flow-optimised diffuser, which have been added to increase downforce and grip, according to Mercedes-Benz.
Lightweight carbon-fibre is also used for parts of the front apron, side sills, rear diffuser, spoiler and side mirrors, while the material also makes its way inside the cabin on the centre console trim and flat-bottom steering wheel.
The front seats are unique the Aero Edition 63, finished in grey and black Nappa leather with yellow stripes, while yellow detailing can also be found on the rear seats, dashboard, doors and centre console.
High-performance ceramic composite front brakes are standard on the Aero Edition 63, which boast six-piston callipers clamping down on 402mm discs up front. The rear brakes are a single piston floating calliper with a 360mm disc.
Shielding the brakes are lightweight staggered wheels – 19 inches up front, 20 inches in the rear – that are finished in a matt black colour.
Exterior colour choices for the Aero Edition 63 are limited to Polar White and Iridium Silver.
The Aero Edition 63 is powered by a carryover AMG 4.0-litre twin-turbocharged petrol V8 engine, outputting 373kW/700Nm to the rear wheels via a nine-speed automatic transmission.
As well as the engine, carryover equipment includes a performance exhaust, active dynamic engine mounts, LED headlights, heated front seats and head-up display, as well as an array of safety features such as autonomous emergency braking, adaptive cruise control and surround-view monitor.

Hmmmh...same here, what is this supposed to be? Do you guys not get the Aero package as an option on the coupe down under? That just looks like the standard C63S coupe w/ Aero package. Actually, it's missing the wider side skirts from the Aero package as far as I can tell from the pictures. Here's mine with the carbon fiber parts in addition to the Aero package and the yellow stitching/accent interior with AMG Performance Seats.

Hmm... for the most part, just looks like the CCB + standard aero package + standard carbon options (exterior and interior), except:
- side sill being in carbon (but smaller than the gloss black ones from normal aero package)
- front aero piece looks slightly different (less aggressive I would say)
- the back piece I can’t really tell what’s changed
Just went to the MB Australia website and answered my own question. Looks like the AMG Aerodynamic Package is not an option in Australia based on the website, so this is a silly marketing stunt with a build that one can pretty much get everywhere else. CCBs, Aero Package, yellow interior w/ performance seats and some carbon bits. All available options in most markets.

Sh*t. That's exactly what it is. Looks like Australia is just lagging behind as usual.
Beautiful car by the way. Seats look good with the yellow

Thanks. Yeah, I love it. The combination came out great and the car looks mean in person. The yellow really pops against the black. The aero side sills were a bit of a controversy and a pain. The larger of the two exterior carbon packages was supposed to make them carbon fiber, but apparently with the aero package they remain gloss black. Still looks awesome and it kinda maintains the consistency of gloss black down low. The front and rear splitters are gloss black and so are the side sills. Unfortunately, they are kinda cheap flimsy plastic and started to fall off. Seems to be a common issue. It had to go to the body shop several times to get them replaced. Eventually they figured out that the passenger side replacement part was warped and that's why they couldn't get it to sit flush. It's all taken care of now and supposedly they used much better adhesive, so hopefully they stay on this time. They do make a big difference optically, so I can overlook the trouble they were giving me. Looks like for your Australia special edition, they might be getting the carbon fiber much less aggressive standard side sills. That's a bit of a shame from an aggressive looks perspective.

Sick color. Liking the solar beam yellow. Definitely a eye catcher. Boldly debadged as well, not sure I would be as confident in not telling everyone I’m in a AMG 63s to go with that color 😊
This is standard practice from Mercedes. Every year they release a limited edition model where the difference can be as minor as some new decals. Then dealers will claim that these are collectible cars and try to trick a naive buyer to paying way over market value. I still remember a user on this forum claiming that his 2015 Edition 1 C63S sedan had the same collectiblity aspect as a 458 Speciale
I'll say this everytime I see these, it takes more than a few extremely minor cosmetic changes to make a car differentiated from the "non-special" editions.

A la GTR Pro
Them just sitting on lots though speaks volumes - most buyers aren't so easily fooled

I thought they did something similar with the W204 model. The '507'. A hood with vents and a slight HP bump*.
* - If you had the W204 with the AMG Development Package, you were already at 481HP stock. I wonder out loud how much difference 25HP would make in a side-by-side. I think not much to warrant the price gouge. At that point, it's just about bragging rights.
But, the artist rendition of a W205 Black Edition coupe that's been floating around here does definitely look badass. Now that, I'd sell mine and upgrade to that. And, yeah! It would be about bragging rights.
