Assisting the engine is a MCT seven-speed automatic gearbox while additional features include a high performance braking system with ventilated discs, a limited slip differential, a new leather steering wheel with gear shift paddles and AMG sports bucket seats.
At the exterior, the Mercedes C63 AMG Safety Car receives some logos, a LED light bar placed on the roof and of course a Race Control communication system to keep connected with the staff.
