Buyers looking for a sportier take on the Mercedes-Benz C-Class but unable to stretch to the full-on C63 AMG may be interested to learn that the German automaker has just announced a new AMG Sport Package for the company's smallest sedan. Released on Mercedes-Benz USA's Facebook page, the package includes 18-inch twin-spoke AMG wheels and a rear lip spoiler, but the interior is where the real action's at.

The cabin has been decked out in artificial leather and suede, a flat-bottomed sport steering wheel with paddle shifters and red trim for the upholstery stitching, floor mats and seat belts. The optional Sports Package Plus further optimizes the suspension, exhaust, steering and shift geometry, but the engine remains the same, depending on which model the buyer specifies. Pictured here in coupe form (with striking matte silver paint), the rear-seat image suggest the package will be available in sedan form as well.
