German company Mechatronik is selling one of the race cars, the Mercedes-AMG C63 DTM. It is a model from the most successful team in the history of DTM.

This racing model was introduced in 2015 and upgraded in 2018, when it was withdrawn from racing. In the meantime, Mercedes has focused on Formula E, but a big return to the DTM with five teams and seven Mercedes-AMG GT3 race cars is expected this year.

It is based on a carbon monocoque chassis with carbon collision protection structures and a steel protective cage. Equipped with a package of aerodynamic components, it visually resembles a C-Class Coupe.

The C63 DTM has wide fenders, a front splitter, a huge rear spoiler, enlarged sills, exhaust pipe ends coming out the door, and rims with a central screw. There are also H&R springs and shock absorbers and more powerful brakes.

Inside, the interior is done in a sporty spirit with lots of carbon, which is characteristic of racing cars. The steering wheel is upholstered in Alcantara, while there is a centrally placed digital cluster on the dashboard.

The Mercedes-AMG C63 DTM is powered by a 4.0-liter naturally-aspirated V8 engine with 542 hp (399 kW / 550 hp). It comes with a lot of spare parts and is not legal for road driving. The car is in original condition with visible racing scars.

Owning this car is a special feeling, but also expensive. The future owner of the Mercedes-AMG C63 DTM will have to pay around $1.5 million (€1.3 million) for this racing beast.
