The video showing the delivery of this new Mercedes-Benz C-Class Cabriolet has been shared on Instagram by John Alukkas himself. It starts with the CEO reaching a detailing shop in his Porsche 911, where his new car was kept under wraps. Following this, he enters the shop and takes off the cover from his new Mercedes.
It can be noted that John Alukkas has chosen the Mercedes-Benz C-Class Cabriolet, which has also been given a few subtle modifications. All of these mods help make this convertible sports car look even more beautiful. Notably, the front and rear emblems have been blacked out.
Apart from this, the owner has also chosen a beautiful set of aftermarket alloy wheels for his sports car. Another unique touch of this C-Class Cabriolet is the red roof. Generally, people opt for a black roof. However, John Alukkas has gone with a bright red-colored convertible roof. The interior, on the other hand, is finished in black.
