F1 World Champion Jenson Button appears to be a wagonista, picks up Mercedes C63 DR 520


Most people who make calls to special divisions of manufacturers to purchase unique vehicles tend to prefer anonymity. Thankfully there are people out there like Mark Carson, who got involved with showing people the process of customizing his M6. The other side of that coin is when superstars pick up (or are given) unique cars, at which point companies need to smack you in the face with an announcement.

On that note, current F1 champion and McLaren driver Jenson Button recently picked up the keys to his brand-spanking new limited edition AMG C63 DR 520 Estate at Mercedes-Benz World. The DR 520 comes from the Specialist Products Division with a modified 520-horsepower V8, extra fixin's, and is one of 20 units made for the UK market.

For all the specs on the car, check out our previous post here.
