Looks the part. Very nice.
I bet it will be north of £60k if it does go into production which is a lot for a hot hatch!

Just renders at the moment, but it does look mental!

Would be expensive fall into the C63 territory. I love the look of it but I wonder if it will 'ruin' the Black Series series? Perhaps it's the way forward?

Ford focus?

A lot like a Focus from some angles

I can also see certain similarities to a Focus....maybe more Mk.3 than Mk.4 though.
The existing car is a little bit understated similar to how an Audi S3 is, but the Mercedes currently has the significant distinguishing feature of the Panamericana grille.
There is a very fine line between what people consider too little body styling on a hot model, just right, or over the top. Look at the current Civic Type R...bold in your face styling makes it unmistakable from run of the mill models, but a lot of people say it is too much and looks tacky.
You can't please all of the people all of the time.
The above car could be produced by an aftermarket company because it is all cosmetic, but I cannot see Mercedes doing anything official like this.
It does look good though.

Impossible lack of clearance between tyres and arches

Hmmm.... either that or, rock solid suspension, doubt it'd be very comfortable.
