I think a 6.2 liter V8 might be a little larger than a 3.0/3.5 (US Spec) V6.
But I heard the Brabus Bullit with it's 6.3 TT V12 is built on a standard C-Class Chassis.

One of the first things that my salesman told me as soon as he showed me a C class was to point out the extra length of the bumper due to fitting oil coolers and air breathers on the side for cooling. Everything else is self explanatory and no one even mentioned but the 6.2 liter engine is significantly larger than the V6. The extra row of pistons alone makes the engine longer so there is no mistery here:
bigger cooling, bigger engine, bigger bumper.
bigger cooling, bigger engine, bigger bumper.

The hood along with the front bumper is approx 4 inches longer, this was stretched to fit the V8 and the track of the car is also 1.5 inches wider I believe.

If you want to get a C63, you gotta do the old radiator cap mod: Just get a C63.
Ours is my wife's driver and it is an absolute hoot to drive. While the sound system is great, it is definitely one of those cars you can drive with the windows down to hear the fabulous exhaust.
You won't be sorry.

Easily to fit the engine, rad, coolers, etc..
Ive taken a C63 apart down to the last bolt and the engine is STUFFED in there.
They could have made it longer in the front sub frame. There is also some aluminum pieces that stick out of the body that could be lengthened to put the bumper out longer.
