In 2011, Mercedes-Benz introduced an essential update for the C-Class range, and the AMG versions went even further than the rest of its siblings.
The T-Model was the long-roof version of the C-Class, and it also received an AMG treatment. Thus, those who had to decide between a sports car and a family vehicle could receive a package of both, with minimal compromises. Besides the visual upgrades, the car also got a new, improved front suspension carried over from its CLK 63 AMG Black Series sibling and a different steering system.
At the front, the carmaker installed a new pair of swept-back headlights, which were shared with the rest of the range, albeit sporting Xenon lights. The lower bumper featured the A-shaped apron with the air-intake, flanked on the sides by the new LED daytime running lights above the side-scoops. On the aluminum hood, the automaker added AMG-specific two powerdomes. At the back, the station wagon received a new pair of taillights that were mounted outside the tailgate area and a discrete roof spoiler. In addition, the rear diffuser sported four oval exhausts.
Inside, the carmaker introduced a new dashboard design with an extended instrument cluster towards the passenger's side, above the center stack. In addition, AMG placed the 6.3 V8 white lettering inside the tachometer on black dials. Even though the carmaker offered high-bolstered front seats, with an option for sport seats, the rear bench was just the regular, split-folding one from the rest of the C-Class T-Model range.
Apart from the regular version, AMG offered a Performance Package option that squeezed 30 more ponies from the engine, raising the bar to 487 hp. The carmaker paired both versions to an AMG Speedshift MCT 7-speed sports transmission and sent the power to the rear wheels.
