EDIT: I also think I'm right in saying the coupe is only available as a facelift car (they didn't make one before that)
Correct!
The one I drove was a 2012 Coupe. By far the best body shape. In Fire Opel red they are quite frankly totty on wheels.
@Gibbo With regards to the performance pack it gets slightly more complicated. Prefacelift Performance Pack came with LSD (I think) Post Facelift even if Performance Pack was specced you then had to add the LSD on (Option #471 on the spec sheet I think). Definitely have a look, I think there is a recent thread on
Quoted from Pistonheads
"Now, the tough one, how do you know which has the LSD....Look for 'PPP' or 'Power Pack' or 'Performance Pack Plus' in adverts along with 'LSD', 'Locking Diff', 'Limited Slip Diff'. I am sure that someone will come along shortly and tell you exactly which years have the following but the following are available:
- Any C63 with or without the PPP can be specced with the LSD.
- Some C63 were available with the PPP but you had to spec up the LSD as well.
- Some C63 were available with the PPP which included the LSD
The PPP is an easy spot though thankfully. The red brake calipers are an easy visual giveaway, although these can be cheaply retropainted. The other giveaway is the suede rim steering wheel from 2-4 and 8-10 (as in a clock dial). "
Also the brakes are slightly different on Performance Packed Cars. Use a double composite disc and pad or some such magic AMG trickery.
- the new W205 C63 hasn't been released yet, think it's due in 2015. I believe the facelifts came in mid 2011 or so.
