VATH V63RS: Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG Estate with 585HP V8 and Carbon-Fiber Kit
Posted by wedos at 8:21 AMIf you want to get a bit more oomph out of the new Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG Estate, then you may want to take a look at Vath's new performance package as the noted German tuning firm has readied a bunch of goodies with the enthusiast in mind. A series of engine tweaks pump the output of the 6.3-liter V8 engine from the factory 457HP and 600Nm to 585HP and 690Nm of torque. No word on how fast the V63RS sprints from zero to 100km/h (62mph) but the German tuning house does reveal that the modified Estate now reaches a top speed of 325km/h or 202mph.
A new limited slip differential with a 60 percent locking rate, a sport suspension and a high-performance brake system and 20-inch alloy wheels shod in 245/30 tires up front and 285/25 at the back complete the list of performance mods.
The V63RS also features a new hood, front apron and a rear diffuser all made out of lightweight carbon fiber. Buyers can also upgrade the C63 AMG Estate's interior with an array of accessories including carbon-fiber trim, a high-end audio system and a DVD/TV unit.
