2021 Mercedes-AMG (W205) C63 S Estate

The ultimate W205 C-Class, with 503hp from the hand-built AMG V8 and track-focused upgrades including electronic limited-slip differential. The additional power and hardware create a car capable of embarrassing much more expensive machinery. Sound from the quad exhausts is spectacular. One of the last great naturally-aspirated-feeling forced-induction cars.

Same V8 issues as C63 - check head bolt recall status. Electronic LSD reliable but expensive if fails. Transmission and diff mount wear. Heavy brake and tire wear inevitable. Air suspension components expensive. Rear subframe bushings wear on driven cars.

AMG Aerodynamic Package, ceramic brakes, AMG Performance seats, Designo leather, carbon fiber throughout. Coupe and Cabriolet variants highly desirable. Final Edition models becoming collectible.
