They don't exist.....at least not in detail! I think someone posted a limited production performance package on a C-class but not really too much detail plus the C-class performance package will not be produced. From what I remember it has the rear view mirrors and rear spoiler on carbon fiber material and inside the trimming should also be carbon fiber. There are NO detail about what exactly is (how much stifer or lower) or how much better is the Nurburgring (spelling??) suspension. The wheels are the same ones as the F-1 pace car but in 18's instead of 19's

Mine should be (hopefully) arriving in 4-5 weeks (I think). It will have the performance package!!!

As soon as it gets here I'll post pics!!!

I've got one on order, too. Build date was July 25th and is still listed as 'in production'. I'll post pics when I get my hands on it!!

Methinks those seats have nothing to do with any performance package.

The interior one is. The other one....I can't tell.

But here are a few of the other photos posted earlier on the C I was talking about.

Actually, I think the first interior pics ARE from a SLK. Look at the steering wheel. You can see it has the CF or wood trim on it whereas the C Class has alcantra/leather.

Did you guys noticed that the bumper (on the C class) has one big opening instead of "gills". Same thing on the F-1 SLK....

I don't have any more pics....actually those I copied from a previous post on the SL 55 forum (I think) from Walter.

He mentioned that the seats ar NOT part of the package and actually nothing for the C is available as a package. All is available at what they call AMG Manufactur and very difficult to get....unless you are really loaded and with connections. In the recent past Harris has/had connections with AMG Manufactur.

Here is pic of the F1 car interior from Euro GP

I have more picts if anyone is interested. The interior is awesome, but I am not sure if the performance package has any of these bits.

Actually, my thoughts are that this "performance package" are the F1 safety car parts, made into an option package.

Remember that through the years, almost all of the cars have been used for various F1 duties. It only makes sense to sell these parts since the development is already done, and they can probably charge outrageous prices too.

As you said outrageous prices. The amount they are asking for the SLK performance package is no where near outrageous. They could easily charge well over $1K for the seats alone, so I really doubt the 030 is a collection of parts from the F1 safety car.
