So what has Mercedes-Benz come up with this time? The C63 AMG DR 520; an exclusive edition of the flagship C-Class model made for the UK market boasting more power and unique touches. Only 20 examples of the hotter C63 AMG in either saloon or estate body styles will be produced and sold exclusively through the company's Specialist Products division at Mercedes-Benz World at Brooklands, Surrey.
Mercedes-Benz did not release technical details on the performance kit, but the result is a 60HP and 50Nm kick in output and torque over the standard C63 AMG, to 520HP and 650Nm / 479.5 lb-ft.
The modifications enable the C63 AMG DR 520 saloon to sprint from zero to 62 mph in 4.1 seconds with the Estate achieving the same in 4.2 seconds and for both models to reach an electronically governed top speed of 187mph or 301km/h.
