Väth V63RS Clubsport: A 585-hp Mercedes-Benz C 63 AMG


If the 730-hp BRABUS BULLIT BLACK ARROW doesn’t appeal to you much (and we don’t know why it wouldn’t), tuner Väth has revealed their latest creation based on the Mercedes-Benz C 63 AMG. Looks wise, Väth didn’t mess around much with the already aggressive appearance of the C 63. The tuner did however add a new front lip spoiler, a more muscular rear diffuser, a new rear-spoiler and 19-inch black alloy wheels.
In terms of performance, Väth recalibrated the ECU, a new free flowing exhaust manifold, a stainless steel sports exhaust, bigger brake rotors and a new sports suspension. As a result, horsepower of the 6.3L V8 increased to 585-hp (from 457) with a peak torque of 509 lb-ft. Top speed has been increased to 202mph.
With a couple of interior upgrades including new sport seats, a new instrument panel, a TV/DVD unit, pricing for the V63RS Clubsport starts at EUR 125,000 ($191,899 USD).
