Brabus Tunes the New C63 S AMG
The Mercedes C63 AMG just went on sale a few short weeks ago. This newest Benz beauty has 503 horsepower being pumped out of a brand new 4.0L twin-turbocharged V8 engine, and it makes a low, guttural noise that is sure to wake the neighbors at two in the morning. However, tuning house Brabus, the people behind the 800-horsepower G63 6×6, have already sunk their evil, horsepower-laden teeth into the new car, in order to slightly turn up the wick.
My God, what have they done?
According to Brabus, the new PowerXtra B40-600, which just so happens to be the world’s worst name for a car, now makes a total of 591 horsepower, and 590lb-ft of torque, thereby putting it closer to its big brother, the E63 AMG. 0-62 miles per hour now takes only 3.8 seconds, and the top speed has been increased to 186 miles per hour.
The new car will debut at this month’s Frankfurt Auto Show, and will be available for both the sedan and the wagon body styles.
Just one quick question: where do we sign up?
