The tuning
specialists over at Manhart Racing have just unveiled their latest package for
the Mercedes-AMG GLC 63 S Coupe. The kit is for the pre-facelift model and adds
a serious amount of extra grunt to the German SUV.
Powering the GLC 63
S Coupe is a twin-turbocharged, 4.0-liter V8 that delivers 510 hp and 700 Nm of torque. Manhart’s package makes those figures seem puny thanks
to the fitment of new turbochargers, a bespoke air intake, an upgraded intercooler,
and a different fuel injection system that result in a total output of 700 HP
and 908 Nm of torque.
Manhart also went
to the trouble of tuning the vehicle’s nine-speed Speedshift transmission to
suit the new characteristics of the engine and fitted a bespoke exhaust system.
Complementing the mechanical modifications are a few small exterior
alterations. The first, and most obvious of these, is an available yellow
livery inspired by the array of Mercedes-AMG Edition 1 models released in the
past couple of years. The car also sits on a set of new 21-inch Concave One
wheels.
We don’t yet have
pricing details for the upgrades, but suspect they won’t be what you’d call
cheap. With such significant bumps in power and torque, however, we believe quite
a few owners will be happy to splurge on the added performance.
