I am sure there are enough people who just love a Benz, even more might love AMG, or at least might be impressed by it’s achievements, but I am not so sure if there is one single person who loves a safety car, especially seeing it on a Formula 1 track during a race.

But, enough with this kind of fantasies and let’s see why this performance upgrade for the C63 AMG is so great. Read the rest of this entry »
