The Mercedes-Benz C-Class (W204) is a range of compact executive cars which were produced by the German automaker Mercedes-Benz from 2007 (as a 2008 model) to 2014. Early models include the C 200 Kompressor, the C 230, the C 280, the C 350, the C 220 CDI, and the C 320 CDI. The C 180 Kompressor, C 230, and C 200 CDI were available at the beginning of August 2007. Unlike the previous generations, the W204 station wagon was not sold in North America. The W204 experienced enormous success in the market. It is the second best-selling entry-level luxury car in Canada and the United States, after the E90 BMW 3 Series, and is the most popular mid-priced sedan in Mexico. In 2012, the W204 C-Class was featured in the Top 10 Best Selling Cars in Britain with over 37,261 sales, a first for Mercedes-Benz, although just behind its rival, the BMW 3 Series at 44,521 sales. Mercedes-Benz sold over 2.4 million W204 vehicles worldwide, and it was the brand's best selling vehicle.

10 years ago, this C63 Mercedes was brand new, and an older generation C-Class was being featured as our Car Of The Day.

The C63 AMG is reportedly the first AMG-Mercedes designed from the ground up. Its AMG C-Class predecessors had essentially featured "bolt on" performance modifications, and according to Car and Driver these earlier AMG models suffered from "relentless understeer" and "heavy steering". The C63 AMG has a revised front end suspension that is taken from the CLK 63 AMG Black Series. The ESP can now be completely turned off, interfering only under heavy braking. The C63 AMG also has the quickest, most responsive steering of any Mercedes to date. The AMG 6.2L V8 engine, despite being detuned compared to other AMG offerings using the same powerplant, still provides the C63 AMG with more horsepower and torque over direct rivals such as the Audi RS4 and BMW M3. The 7G-Tronic automatic transmission has AMG SpeedShift with three shift modes - Comfort, Sport and Manual - with the last one running with the converter locked allowing the driver to hold the engine at the rev limit. Car and Driver tested the car in their December 2007 issue and recorded a 0–60 mph time of 3.9 seconds and a quarter-mile time of 12.3 seconds at 116 mph (187 km/h). This made the C63 AMG the quickest 4-door production sedan in the world at its debut.

So realistic! I need to get one some day. I have seen these available for just around $4-5 but the postages have always been so high.

A real nice model of a real nice car. The AMG version could do 0-60 in 3.9 seconds and the quarter mile in 12.3 seconds? Not too shabby for a 4-door sedan!
