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.

Waymo Jaguar I-PACE sensors close up

Self-driving cars are supposed to make our roads safer, but it seems that they are  doing the opposite. NHTSA administrator Jonathan Morrison sent a letter to autonomous vehicle developers this week, and he didn't hold back. He called the pattern of driverless cars getting in the way of first responders "unacceptable," and said a car that can't safely handle an emergency scene is a danger to everyone around it.

What's actually going wrong?

Car, Transportation, Vehicle

Xiaomi went from selling smartphones to making profitable electric cars and turned profitable in just two years, a feat that took Tesla a decade.
