Cheers, Mercedes-Benz C-Class 203 model series, Happy 25th Birthday! A quarter of a century ago, the C-Class (W 203) set new standards in safety, comfort, and quality in the midsize segment. Today, we’re looking back at its milestones. Following the 190 (W 201) and the first C-Class (202 series) 25 years ago, the 203 series took the market by storm as a stylistically and technically redesigned dynamic mid-range model. In addition to the saloon, the 203 series included two other variants: the 2000 sports coupé (CL 203), followed by the 2001 estate (S 203). The sporty and practical strengths of this C-Class shone even on the Formula 1 stage. In the 2004 to 2007 Grand Prix races, the Mercedes-Benz C 55 AMG estate served as the F1 Medical Car, taking on the role of the emergency response vehicle thanks to its AMG standard high-performance technology suspension and drivetrain. As with its predecessors – the C 55 AMG of the 202 series and the C 32 AMG of the 203 series – the Medical Car ensured quick medical assistance in the event of accidents on the racetrack.
