The C-Class has Never Been More Sporty
 |
MULGRAVE, AUSTRALIA – Oct 16, 2012: Mercedes-Benz is sharpening the profile of the C-Class: with the new coupé Sport”models, developed together with AMG, and the new "AMG Sports Package PLUS", there has never been a wider choice of sporty versions. These models are available from October 2012. The "AMG Sports Package PLUS" can be combined with all sedan and estate variants.
"The C 250 model is by far the most popular model we currently have on sale today in Australia," says Horst von Sanden, Managing Director, Mercedes-Benz Cars, Australia/Pacific. "Now we offer an option to customers who want a little bit more Sport from a C 250.”
The name says it all the new Coupé models C 250 Sport and C 250 CDI Sport are more dynamic, as the performance specialists at AMG were heavily involved in their development. In addition to the visually enhanced AMG Sports Package PLUS, both models have technical features which further increase driving enjoyment. Cornering and handling characteristics are more dynamic thanks to an AMG sports suspension, more direct speed-sensitive sports steering, a sports exhaust system and a more sporty transmission configuration in S and M mode. The matt paint finish "designo magno platinum" is exclusively available for the Sport models.
The AMG Sports Package PLUS lends an even sportier aura to the Saloon
and Estate. As additions to the AMG Sports Package it includes 18-inch AMG
7-twin-spoke light-alloy wheels, an AMG spoiler lip and sports seats in
black ARTICO man-made leather/DINAMICA. Red seat belts and red contrasting
topstitching on the steering wheel, seats, door centre panels, door
armrests, centre console and shift lever gaiter add further sporty touches.
