The C300 Sport Sedan is a powerhouse on the road, achieving 60 mph in 7.1 seconds with a 3 liter V6 engine producing 228 horsepower. It comes with a 6-speed short-throw manual transmission or a 7-speed automatic transmission, whatever your racing preference! And the C300 Sport Sedan is amazingly lightweight and compact, truly a racing experienced when harnessed with all that power in the engine.
The Sedan comes with sporty rear wheel drive or 4MATIC all-wheel drive, which ensures that power is evenly distributed among only those wheels with grip. 4MATIC all-wheel drive can help keep the vehicle moving and under control even if only one wheel has traction. 4MATIC or 4 Wheel, it’s your choice.
The C300 Sport Sedan comes with an AGILITY CONTROL suspension system, with an amplitude-dependent damping system that adjusts dampers based on the surface of the road and the driver’s current driving style for every wheel – individually, automatically – for high stability, superb ride comfort, and maximum control. The C300 Sport Sedan boasts firmer coil springs and shock absorbers, as well as a lowered ride height, for sharper handling response and a more aggressive stance.
When you first look at the aggressively styled and athletic 2010 C300 Sport Sedan, you notice the wide, slotted grille with the Three-Pointed Star, an icon of Mercedes-Benz. You can see here the lower bodywork with the deep front air dam and extra wide wheels which lead into a rear apron.Bi-Xenon headlamps deliver greater illumination and visibility than halogen headlamps.
The Sport Sedan comes standard with 17” alloy wheel, but can be upgraded to 18” AMG wheel with the Dynamic Handling Package. The Sport Sedan wheels are wider at the rear for greater launch grip and narrower up front for greater steering power. This difference in tire width fine-tunes control when accelerating or maneuvering.
The sound-optimized exhaust has polished chrome tips and LED tail lamps, giving you brighter than traditional incandescent bulbs and quicker illumination. With 12.4 cubic feet of space, the trunk of the C300 Sport Sedan provides ample room for your groceries, golf clubs, or luggage.
When sitting inside the interior of the C300, it’s all about controlling the performance and power of the vehicle. In the cockpit, the 8-way power sport seat can be adjusted to your comfort level to reach the rubber-studded aluminum pedals and the multifunction, leather steering wheel. You will find the shifter and central controller in the main console along with the Bluetooth interface and navigation system. The LCD screen is mounted at a level that is easily seen when driving and allows easy access to multiple cockpit features, such as the dual-zone automatic climate control.
With the Multimedia Package, you can take advantage of COMAND, which includes both navigation and additional entertainment and information options, such as SIRIUS Satellite Radio, an iPod/MP3 media interface and a harman/kardon(R) LOGIC7(R) DSS System.
The Sport Details on this model are definitely worth noting. Modern aluminum trim outfits the interior of the vehicle along with elegant leather. As with all Mercedes-Benz models, you have a wide range of customization options for upholstery, trim and exterior paint. Other optional items are the Rear View Camera, Panorama sunroof and rain-sensing wipers.
