Mercedes-Benz AMG C63 S by Brabus
If there’s something that Mercedes-AMG’s
new 503 hp C63 S sports sedan and Wagon don’t seem to lack, it’s power,
but the tuning minds at Brabus beg to differ.
The Germans have worked their magic on
the range-topper C63 S’s 4.0-liter bi-turbo V8 updating it with newly developed
turbochargers featuring a larger compressor unit, a special core assembly with
reinforced axial bearings, a reprogrammed ECU and a sports stainless-steel
exhaust with actively controlled butterfly valves.
That’s enough for the Brabus C63 S to
offer 650 PS and 820 Nm of peak torque, up by 140 PS and 120 Nm over the stock model, allowing the sedan to hit 100 km/h in 3.7 sec (Estate: 3.8 sec) and top out at 320 km/h, an
improvement of 0.3 sec and 70 km/h espectively.
Brabus worked with technology partner
Bilstein to develop a specially tuned height-adjustable coilover suspension
that allows the rebound and compression rates of the gas-pressure shocks at the
front and rear axle to dialed to one of ten settings.
Customers can choose from two different
20-inch wheel designs shod in Continental, Pirelli or YOKOHAMA tires of sizes
255/30 ZR 20 at the front and up to 275/30 ZR 20 on the rear axle.
There’s a carbon fiber aerodynamic and
styling kit available in both matte and mirror-polished sealed surfaces that
include a front apron, rear spoiler, rear diffuser and mirror caps, with Brabus
also offering plenty of interior customization options such as unique
upholstery and aluminum trims and accents.
The new Brabus C63S will have its world
premiere at the Geneva Motor Show next week.
