Mercedes-Benz is offering a special edition of its all-conquering C63 AMG sports sedan exclusive to the Canadian market, and it is a tempting piece of kit to be sure. Called the Affalterbach edition, it's named after the headquarters of the Mercedes performance vehicles division. Not that the "standard" C63 AMG needed much improvement, but this special edition is further distinguished by a special Magno Allanite Grey paint job with 19-inch black alloys, red brake calipers, carbon-fiber door mirror housings and a front lip spoiler.

AMG has also fitted the Performance Package as standard, giving the Affalterbach edition 481 horsepower for a 4.4-second sprint to 62 miles per hour – 100 km/h in Canadian metric terms. The interior has likewise been distinguished by black Nappa leather upholstery with contrasting red stitching and carbon fiber trim. Only 30 examples will be made, selling at CDN $81,500 apiece if you can get your hands on one.
