The Australian appetite for go-fast Benzes has led to the creation of a special C63 AMG for down under drivers.

The 'Edition 63' car has just been announced as a tickle for existing C63 owners and anyone who might be considering a BMW M3 or even a Nissan GT-R.

Only 63 cars are being built and for $169,900 - or $172,900 for the wagon - they come with some worthwhile and desirable tweaking.

The 336 kiloWatt engine is unchanged but the 'Edition 63' package adds a self-locking differential, special 19-inch AMG alloy wheels, special designo paint colours - with matt grey as an option - exclusive designo leather in the cabin, an AMG performance studio package including extra leather, illuminated door sills and AMG logs spread over the floor mats and gearlever.

"The C 63 AMG – Edition 63 has been specifically built for the Australian market and no other. No other market has been granted this exclusively specified, tailored and identified model," says David McCarthy of Mercedes-Benz Australia.

The cars land in November.
