Affection of the British towards the charged engines is well known. For that reason various automakers charge even the hottest their models. Mercedes-Benz decided to prepare a portion of zealous AMG C-Class sedans for the UK drivers.

The special version, based on the Mercedes C 63 AMG equipped with AMG Performance Package Plus, has got the name of C-class DR 520. The number in the title indicates how many “horses” hidden in the mighty 6.2 liters V8 atmospheric engine. The main difference of the limited 4- and 5-doors vehicles from the standard C 63s is hidden under the raised hood. After the serious job has been performed, the engine began to produce 63 hp and 51 newton-meter more due to the new computer, forged pistons, connecting rods and air filter with increased bandwidth.

Not the least role in the upgrade belongs to the sports exhaust. The result of such modernization is 4,1 seconds, which are used by the car to reach 60 mph and the opportunity to accelerate up to 180 mph without any electronic limiters. Among other goodies there is a limited slip differential on the rear axle and particularly stiff suspension. To make the drivers feel confident at high speeds, experts have installed more powerful brake system with the composite front discs.

Exterior has remained almost unchanged, which is actually is not bad. What catches the eye is the specific body color (either white or black) and the grille. And definitely a number of bages, which adorn the front fenders and trunk lid.

The total number of exclusive Mercedes-Benz C-class cars counts only 20 units. Dealers are going to take 62,430 pounds (about 76,000 euros) for the sedan and 63,680 pounds (about 77.5 thousand euros) for the wagon. In any case, an overpayment will be 9995 pounds, or slightly more than 12 thousand euros, in excess of the amount which is asked for the standard C 63 AMG.
