 VÄTH has introduced a new tuning program for the Mercedes CLS 63 AMG.
For improved performance, the €12,800 ($17,620) V63RS package adds an optimized ECU, an intercooler and a stainless steel sport exhaust system. Thanks to these changes, the engine develops 658 PS (484 kW / 649 hp) and 960 Nm (708 lb-ft) of torque. This enables the car to rocket from 0-100 km/h in 3.9 seconds and hit a top speed of 325 km/h (202 mph).
On the styling front, the model can be equipped with a trunk-mounted spoiler, a rear diffuser and 20-inch wheels with high-performance tires. Other goodies include lowering springs and an upgraded braking system.
Lastly, the cabin can be outfitted with a sport steering wheel, carbon fiber trim and a revised speedometer that goes up to 360 km/h (224 mph).
