yes the price is rather exclusive. Given the scarcity of C63BS combnined with this price, i think they would be lucky to get another customer to commit. Utmost respect for their technical capabilities. what a project!

The price is high and yes you can build monster cars with equivalent investment, it just wouldn't be a 4matic C63 Black Series AMG, all I can say is this car is really something else to drive unlike any other AMG it's just stupid fast and fun. Just to verify where that price comes from, brand new M157 will set you back 60k euros in Germany, Carbon-Ceramic brakes go for 20K, turbo upgrade plus inter cooling 25K, you have a 4matic gearbox, upgrading the gear box, chases have to be modified, custom drive shaft, custom exhaust, many custom parts are made for this project, and they don't just gather into a car by themselves, just wiring up this baby takes couple of weeks, all I can say is those guys built for me a Monster thanks to GAD-Motors respect to there efforts and ideas

Oh yeah they are building a C63 coupe with an M157 engine without 4Matic for a customer and no turbo upgrades, plus he is bringing his engine so yes it can be only rear wheel drive and cheaper

Don't bother trying to explain, some people just don't get it. Awesome and unique car, I love it and can appreciate all that went into this build. What's next on your list?

Well, if you have the cash to splash for it, why not.. with all that power you have, you'd have to track it right? And to track it as the best way possible. It's definitely an exclusive and to have 4matic on a track to mitigate the loss of traction and put more power to the ground is pretty good i may say..

Congrats again for the build dbasons55!!! I'd love to experience sitting in your car on a track one day!

I absolutely love my SLS BS, I wason the fence about it after i ordered it but now I am so happy I went through with it. It is a great drivers car. You going to do a 4-matic SLS?

Why don't you ship that C BS over here for the big race at MIR Nov. 16th? All the heavy hitters are going to be there so you should try to make it. I know you are on the other side of the pond but it would be cool to see that beast run.

Dream build right there. Only thing I'd do differently is Diamond White exterior with a full classic red leather interior. Oh, and scrap the rear wing for a lip spoiler (too ugly, function be damned!) Otherwise,bravo!

SLS 4Matic would be the just amazing but that's a little out of my budget the GAD guys said its possible but extremely expensive they are just going to squeeze as much HP as possible the aim is no less than 1000HP once the build starts will put some info on it. I would love to join you guys but it's a little hard for me to find the time now and plan it thanks for the invitation

I always thought that diamond White was the way to go with the BS but at the time I bought this car the only white I found was one with the standard 4 seat layout and this red one so red it was and I thought of wrapping her but I am digging the color

Mine will be right at the 950hp(790whp) mark, which is about the limit the clutch packs can handle. Weistec is developing stronger clutch packs right now, as soon as they are ready I will up the boost and see what the car can handle power wise. I will be interested in what GAD has in mind for the clutch pack solution. Are you doing an SLS BS or an SLS GT?

That's great power there, the guys at GAD are also going to upgrade the clutch they have an idea on what needs to be done and they will do it once the project starts, they are shifting there workshop so that is taking time to start my SLS project, I am going for a normal SLS reasons are they are going to work on the engine and that makes sense to me not to spoil a BS SLS engine, are you changing any internals?

Great, will be waiting for the November Issue from Autobild!

By the way, there are rumours, that CLS63 with GAD V4 Package was tested for Highspeed from Sport Auto Magazine in Nardo.

They broke 360 KM/H - 223 MPH barrier, which is quite impressive.

Should be in some of their next issues. I will send you the scans...

All the Best

Yes in Nardo they did a 354KM they only did one run but that's the fastest 4matic sedan on the road new record there although they could have done better but the test driver took his leg off the gas scary I guess
