2023 Mercedes-Benz C-Class C63 AMG S Night Edition Premium Plus

The W205 C63 AMG S represents the final iteration of Mercedes' 4.0-litre twin-turbocharged V8 in the C-Class before the controversial switch to a four-cylinder hybrid in the W206 generation. This 2023-registered example — almost certainly one of the last W205s to enter UK service — has covered 25,307 miles and presents in Obsidian Black with the AMG S Night Edition specification in Premium Plus trim, combining a purposeful aesthetic with a thorough equipment list.

The 4.0-litre BiTurbo V8 produces 503 bhp and reaches 62 mph in 3.9 seconds on the way to a 180 mph top speed, all channelled through AMG's MCT gearbox. Night Edition darkening of exterior brightwork pairs with a Burmester surround sound system, panoramic electric sunroof, MULTIBEAM LED headlights, two-zone THERMATIC climate control, and KEYLESS-GO — a specification that leaves little to add from the options list beyond the Obsidian Black Metallic paint already fitted.

At £58,495 with moderate mileage for a three-year-old car, this sits in the natural sweet spot for drivers who want the old-school AMG character — a sonorous, high-revving V8 rather than the electrified architecture of its replacement. With the W206 now in full production, finding a late W205 C63 AMG S in this condition and specification is becoming increasingly difficult.
