a C32 AMG & S-Works Tarmac
Your question is unclear. If I understand what you are asking, the 6.2 liter engine installed in the C, E and S classes is the same basic engine. Mercedes claims 507 hp in the E and S classes but have de-tuned it to 451 for the C. Most people here think that a simple ECU upgrade and larger airbox would bring the C's output back up over the 500ph mark.

Sure, some of it is marketing, but some of the lower output in the smaller cars is because headers and other plumbing are less efficient. This is partly because there isn't as much room for ideal routing (it's a lot of engine to shoehorn into a compact sedan) and partly to keep costs down. Aftermarket tuners will be able to narrow the HP gap, but it will take tubing, not just ECU changes.

MMM...maybe a bi-turbo C 63 amg by garret would be better
how many hp and n\m could it have? 650 hp and MMM..1100n\m??
obviously it'd better change the rear tireas for example put on it a 315\30 r 19...
0-60 mh in 3, 5 sec and max speeed...about 340 km\h
MMM MAYBE I'M DREAMING TOO MUCH but in the truth it couldn't be bad

You will need more than tires.. At these levels you are stretching what the current 7 speed transmission can take. (Why the V12's use the more robust 5-speed)
