Last of the traditional V8s! Mercedes-AMG farewells C63 S and E63 S with Final Editions

This is it - the end has come. Well, for the traditional V8-powered Mercedes-AMG C63 S and E63 S, that is. 

Yes, the new-gen hybrid four-cylinder powered models are poised to enter the country in a matter of months and so the last of the V8s are being retired with Mercedes-AMG marking the moment with Final Editions of the C63 S and E63 S.

Mercedes-AMG is offering the Final Edition treatment to its C63 S Cabriolet and Coupe,  plus the E 63 S Sedan in the form of a package.

The Final Edition Package for the C63 S Cabriolet costs $26,400, and $28,400 for the Coupe. That’s on top of the $212,600 list price for Cabriolet and $190,000 for the Coupe.

The Final Edition Package for the E63 S Sedan costs $39,900, again that’s in addition to the $272,000 list price.

For the C63 S Cabriolet and Coupe the Final Edition package brings Manufaktur graphite Grey magno paintwork with yellow and dark grey decals. Cross spoke alloy wheels staggered 19-inch on the front and 20-inch at the rear, plus AMG ceramic brakes.

The Cabriolet receives the Exterior Carbon Package while the Coupe comes with the AMG Aerodynamics Package. 

The cabin is outfitted with AMG Performance front seats and an AMG Performance steering wheel with seats in Nappa Grey and black with yellow stitching. The interior also comes with a dark aluminium and matt carbon-fibre trim, plus a Final Edition badge.

The E63 S Sedan’s Final Edition package also consists of Manufaktur graphite Grey magno paintwork and the Exterior Carbon Package, plus 20-inch cross-spoke alloy wheels.

The interior comes with AMG Performance front seats in Nappa Grey or black with yellow stitching, a leather AMG Performance Steering Wheel and carbon trim. 

The E63 S Sedan Final Edition also comes with the Driving Assistance Package and MBUX augmented reality overlay for the sat-nav system.

An AMG emblem on the C-pillar and a Final Edition badge on the centre console complete the E63 S Sedan’s final edition package.

The Final Edition Packages will go on sale from February 1, with Mercedes-AMG saying they will only be available in highly limited numbers.  

Australians can expect the Mercedes-AMG C63 S E Performance to arrive this year and with 500kW and 1020Nm on tap, it'll be more powerful and faster than the outgoing V8. Alas, though, it won't have that glorious V8 rumble.
