The exteriors of the C63 S gets lots of elements which differentiate it from the normal C-Class. A new bumper with wider air-dam, bigger alloys with beefy tyres, bigger brakes and a sharper looking grille are the most obvious changes. Coming to the interiors, the sports sedan gets an aluminum wing on the dashboard, meaty steering wheel with paddle shifters and bucket seats which offer great support. The red accents all around the interiors lift up the sportiness quotient while the IWC clock adds a bit of traditional feel to it.
