Talking about its design and looks, this two-door Cabriolet is a lot like the standard Mercedes-AMG C63, only with some minor tweaks to its exterior profile and the addition of a retractable soft-top roof. Judging by the spy shots we can see that the car's front fascia is a bit more aggressive now and comes with a restyle front bumper with sleeker air intakes. The car also features Mercedes' latest Multibeam headlights with sharp eyebrow like DRLS that add to its aggressive nature. Other exterior changes involve redesigned side skirts, new sporty lightweight alloys and and a four-tailpipe sports exhaust system.
