Mercedes-AMG C63 Cabriolet Ocean Blue Edition
The Ocean Blue Edition for the AMG C63 S Cabriolet is designed for a particularly fashion-conscious and design-oriented target group and is limited to just 150 units worldwide. The new color “Deep Ocean Blue” used for the fabric acoustic soft top is exclusively earmarked for this new special edition model. The exclusive color shade is featured on numerous further details on the car, such as the trim strips on the front and rear bumper, trim elements on the wheel’s center caps, contrasting topstitching throughout the Crystal Grey interior plus the analogue clock in an IWC design.
The C63 S Cabrio Ocean Blue edition is painted in designo Cashmere White Magno. The front bumper in an A-wing design, exterior mirror housings, side sill panels plus the spoiler lip are painted in the vehicle color, underlining the elegant character of this special edition AMG model. The AMG forged wheels in a cross-spoke design are of a staggered fitment—19-inches at the front and 20-inches at the rear— and are painted in titanium grey.
Throughout the interior, Crystal Grey nappa leather with lavish diamond quilting and Deep Ocean Blue contrasting topstitching immediately catches the eye, and is combined with AMG Matte Silver Fiber Glass trim and a special edition badge in the center console. The premium interior is further reinforced by the steering wheel with its black rim, featuring a flattened bottom section finished in nappa leather and silver-colored buttons, the same steering wheel found in the AMG S63 Cabriolet.
As standard, the seats in the AMG C63 S Cabriolet Ocean Blue Edition are fitted with AIRSCARF neck-level heating and heated/ventilated seats, ensuring optimum comfort in all weather conditions. Attention to detail is evident in the AMG badges found in the backrests of the front seats and the embossed AMG emblems in the front head restraints.
