The current Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG may be in the autumn of its years, but it's still one of our very favorite sport sedans. Ever. Yes, its paddle-shift transmission may not always follow orders, but with stupendous levels of thrust from its charismatic naturally aspirated 6.2-liter V8, ebullient rear-wheel-drive dynamics and that noise, we frankly don't care that it's getting on a bit. As a sendoff of sorts for the current generation, Mercedes-Benz has just introduced a new Edition 507 model at the Geneva Motor Show, with 507 horsepower and 450 pound-feet of torque – an increase of 56 horses over the standard car. Mercedes credits the substitution of low-mass internals from the SLS AMG gullwing for the power bump, a tactic shared with the AMG Development Package upgrade that has been subsumed by this Edition 507. 0-60 is quoted at 4.1 seconds and top speed at 174 mph. The Edition 507 borrows its aluminum hood from the C63 AMG Black Series Coupe, along with spidery new 19-inch wheels in either titanium gray finish or matte black with shiny rim flanges. As seen on our gallery car above, a sports striping package is also featured, as are glossy black grille, daytime running lamps, spoiler and mirror caps. Pricing has not yet been announced, but the car will be coming to North America in 2013 in both sedan and coupe formats. I like the stripe option   Nice!

One of the senior managers at work has one on order, trading in his wife's C63 sedan.

My old man was going to buy a 2011-2012 model at the start of the year, we got it down to 2 cars and then had a family member get seriously ill. So all plans are on hold for now.
Man I love these cars they really do it for me.

eh, its nice but a little garish, i am a huge fan of the C63 but this, rid of the stripe and the white/black interior. Much prefer the black/grey look.
Actually just give me a C63 Black edition in black anyday See one all the time near work, hawt is the only word to describe it.

Love the white. Not many cars I would own in white, but this is one of them.
I will own a C63 AMG one day. |

Love the car. BUT, I'd take an A45 AMG for half the price personally.
