The Mercedes-AMG C63 S E Performance F1 Edition was announced back in October 2022, to go on sale in 2023. That didn’t happen, but Mercedes-AMG has just confirmed limited numbers will go on sale in Australia in 2024.

As its name suggests, the F1 Edition of the C63 features visual enhancements to emphasise links between the C63 and AMG's Formula 1 operation.
Changes to the Mercedes-AMG C 63 S E Performance F1 Edition over the ‘regular’ model are largely visual, selected to emphasise the race-bred technology of the C63 and links between Mercedes-AMG and F1.
These exclusive features, not available on other C63s, include Manufaktur alpine grey paint, carbon fibre trim elements, F1 Edition badging, and red highlights including rim flanges to match the official 2022 F1 Medical Car (a Mercedes-AMG GT 63 S 4MATIC+).

|---|---|
| Wind tunnel-developed aerodynamics Package | AMG foiling on the flanks with a subtle gradient from grey to black |
| Matte black 20-inch AMG light-alloy wheels with F1 Edition-exclusive red rim flange | AMG Night Package I: high-gloss black front splitter, front wings trim elements, mirror housings, window surrounds, and beltline and rear apron trim strips, and black chrome tailpipe trims |

The C63’s technologically advanced F1-inspired hybrid powertrain - the most powerful production four-cylinder engine in the world - remains unchanged.
The E Performance technology was developed “with inspiration from technology transferred directly from Formula 1", according to Mercedes-AMG, with knowledge shared between the High Performance Powertrains engine shop of the Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1 team in Brixworth, UK, and Mercedes-AMG in Affalterbach, Germany.
The four-cylinder engine plus an electric motor mounted at the rear axle produce a class-leading 500kW and 1020Nm.
Red highlights contrasting on black give the C63 F1 Edition interior a racy feel (LHD model shown).
