Arriving in two distinctly different trim levels, the Mercedes-AMG C63 Cabrio is all about having tons of fun with your top off.

After spending years as a regular ol' car fanatic, he started working his way through the echelons of the automotive industry, starting out as social-media director of a small European-focused garage outside of Chicago. From there, he moved to the editorial side, penning several written features in Total 911 Magazine before becoming a full-time auto writer, first for a local Chicago outlet and then for CNET Cars.

There are two available trim levels -- the C63 and the C63 S.

Both engines mate to a seven-speed automatic, and both are rear-wheel drive only.

The C63 S gets a fair bit more kit than the C63, including carbon-ceramic front brakes, an electronic limited-slip differential, and 19-inch alloy wheels.

The C63 S also shaves 0.1 second off the 0-60 mph time, from 4.1 seconds to 4 dead.
