The experience is basically a C63 that pushes a good deal harder in the kidneys, but you only really get the full effect after 5,000rpm, when the 2011 Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG DR 520 steps up with the full trump card of supercar-wilting pace. Before that, you get all the ‘normal' goodness of a stock C63; easy cruising, excellent low-down burble, epic torque. The steering is excellent for an estate car, the brakes similarly competent, though they could do with a bit more bite within the first inch of pressure. Equally, the 7G Tronic box is too slow from the paddles, so you're better off just using the ‘Sport' mode and putting up with it. standard C63 AMG prods out an altogether respectable 450-odd bhp. There's an official ‘performance pack' upgrade available that peps that up to nearer 480, but the Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG DR 520 gets a new crank and pistons to lob power up to well over 500 - basically a Brabus upgrade but with a Merc-backed warranty and satin features. The rest is basically a performance pack C63 AMG (slightly bigger brakes, stiffer springs over the stock car), though you'll pay an extra £1,500 notes for the AMG limited-slip differential, which you'll need.
