New edition of Mercedes-Benz’s super sexy 2013 C63 AMG will be limited to Japan only

Mercedes-Benz C63 Special Edition Just when you thought the Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG couldn’t get any edgier, the German-based automaker unleashes a new edition of the car to be sold exclusively in Japan that’ll likely have a few people checking freight costs.

The special C63 AMG limited model, which is strictly for the Japan market, comes in a white exterior finish with red accents on the mirrors, brake, calipers, boot lid spoiler,  and a two-tone red and black leather interior.

The car will boost the same power as the popular Performance Studio edition rolled out last year in Japan − with an increase in the V8’s engine output by 30 horsepower, from 450 horsepower to 480 horsepower.

Mercedes-Benz is only making 35 units of the car, which includes 15 coupes and 20 sedans.

The limited edition C63 AMG Performance Studio model, unveiled last summer exclusively for the Japanese market, featured a matte black exterior with red accents on the wheels, and a two-tone, red and black interior.

More details on the new edition will be released soon, which will likely only further infuriate fans in the U.S who’d like to get their hands on one.

The front three-quarter view of a 2022 Rivian against a rocky backdrop.

Rivian has finally unveiled the R2, its long-awaited attempt at a more affordable electric SUV. The new vehicle may not be available just yet, but fans of Rivian's design aesthetics and feature set are already looking forward to being able to order the new car. The R2 is targeted at being a more affordable take on the electric SUV and will sit alongside the flagship-tier R1S.

Let's get this out of the way right now: The R1S is most likely going to be a better vehicle than the R2. Rivian isn't replacing the R1S with the R2 — it's releasing the R2 as a more affordable alternative, and there will be some compromises when buying the R2 over the R1S.
