Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG is a main candidate for a little factory tuning. It includes an engine kit that boost’s the 6.3-liter V8′s output to 487 horsepower.
The power growth from 457HP to 487HP has been achieved through a series of upgrades that include a reprogrammed ECU and the adoption of forged pistons from the new SLS AMG supercar together with new connecting rods and a lightweight crankshaft that translate into a weight saving of three kilograms or 6.6 lbs. Lowered inertia boosts the quickness and fast reaction of the uprated V8 engine, which is recognisable from the variable intake manifold painted in titanium grey. With the Performance Package Plus, Mercedes claims that the 487HP C63 AMG accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h (62mph) in 4.4 seconds and 0 to 200 km/h (124mph) in 13.9 seconds, or 0.1 sec and 1.3 sec faster than the standard 457HP model respectively. The new AMG Performance Package Plus is available for order now with prices set in Germany at €,7080.50 and €6,426 for the sedan and estate models respectively.
