A cool Mercedes C63 AMG Coupe was recently spotted in China. The subject was seen in the Dongba area in far east Beijing, according to CarNewsChina. It came in a nice matte gray wrap with a black coating on its roofing. Some might find the gray wrap of this C63 AMG Coupe rather bland, but the way that the coating plays with natural light is just awesome when observed up close. Aside from the wrap, the tuner of the car installed a rimless black grille, darkened headlights, tinted windows, blackened carbon hood, and blacked out side mirror frames.

My first reaction when I saw the headlines was, “Really, the R-Class is still around?” It should be noted that the R-Class wasn’t quite as popular as the other series of the three-pointed star brand. When it was launched in 2005, its sales figures were way below expectations. In its best year, only… Continue Reading »
