Since we haven’t seen that many tuned current-gen Mercedes-Benz C-Class models, we might have to enjoy this custom wheels photo shoot a lot more than we should.
The current generation C-Class is a beautiful car. It’s elegant, it’s sporty (ish), it’s…well, basically a smaller S-Class in terms of design, and that means that whatever works for the S, should also work for the C.
What we have here is a rather handsome white C-Class saloon, wearing custom Vossen VFS2 wheels, which seem to work really well on Mercedes cars in general – remember them on this A 45 AMG?
Regardless, this C-Class has more going for it that just wheels. The tinted windows are almost “a must” when you’re dealing with a white car. There’s also the Sport Package which offers AMG body styling, sport-tuned suspension, standard 18″ AMG 5-spoke wheels (which have been replaced), perforated front brakes with painted calipers and a sportier interior.
It’s safe to assume that we’re looking at a C300 Sedan, since the C450 AMG Sedan has different looking tailpipes. In terms of performance, the C300 Sedan features a 2.0-liter turbocharged petrol engine, good for 241 HP and a 0-60 mph (96 km/h) sprint time of 6.2 seconds. In the US, the starting price for one of these is $38,950 MSRP – while the Sports Package will set you back a further $2,175.
Definitely worth it though, isn’t it?
