Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG Coupe Supercharged to 680 HP

Do you need a little bit more oomph for your Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG Coupe? Vath promises to address your needs with its new Väth V63 tuning kit that brings a host of engine, chassis, exterior and interior upgrades.

But before you read on, you might want to know that the package - not including the car itself - is priced at €64,308 or about US$83,600.

The Bavarian tuning house begins with the C63 AMG's 6.2-liter V8 that gains a supercharger along with a revised ECU, a water intercooling system and a new exhaust bumping output from 457HP and 600Nm to 680-horses and 840Nm (619 lb-ft) of peak torque.

Vath says that the extra muscle helps the C63 AMG Coupe trim the 0 to 100km/h (62mph) sprint time to 4 seconds flat while offering a top speed of 335 km/h (208 mph).

A new high-performance brake system with 380-mm discs along with an adjustable coilover suspension that allows for a 20-65 mm drop in ride height, help the C63 AMG Coupe cope with the additional horsepower.

On the outside, the coupe gets a carbon front spoiler, a carbon-fiber rear diffuser with enlarged fins and a boot lip spoiler for improved the aerodynamics, while it rides on new 20 inch wheels wrapped in 255/20 tires on the front axle, and 295/25 on the rear.

Inside the cabin, the sports steering wheel features new trim with wood or carbon fiber applications, a 360km/h speedometer and some more carbon fiber appliques on the dashboard and door panels.

Video: Hennessey releases 602-hp Camaro HPE600 Convertible

If for some strange reason you find that the Chevrolet Camaro Convertible SS doesn’t quite pack the punch you need, Hennessey has you covered. The Texas tuner has officially pulled the sheets back on the very first example of the company’s HPE600 Camaro Convertible, complete with a walloping 602 horsepower. That’s a full 172 ponies more than the most powerful production version, and the nudge in grunt comes courtesy of a TVS2300 supercharger and host of other upgrades designed to help the big V8 breathe a little easier.

As we’ve come to expect from Hennessey, the company’s wrenches also turned their attention toward the vehicle’s suspension, and buyers who opt for the muscle-bound droptop can expect to find a KW adjustable coilover suspension and wider 20-inch wheels wrapped in super-sticky Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires.

Hennessey says that the topless wonder is good for dashing to 60 miles per hour in 3.9 seconds and can clip off the quarter mile run in 12 seconds flat at 118 mph. That’s moving. Hit the jump to take a look at a video of the car in action as well as the full press release.
