Based on the Mercedes-Benz C63 Coupe AMG, Väth Automobiltechnik from Hoesbach, Germany has created the V63 Supercharged. The result is 680 PS (670 bhp / 500 kW), 840 Nm (620 lb-ft) of torque extracted from the serial C63 AMG which produces 487 PS (358 kW / 480 hp) and 600 Nm (443 lb-ft) of torque. 0-100 km/h drops to 4.0 seconds while top speed ends at 335 km/h (208 mph). This is achieved via a water cooled supercharger, revised engine management, oil coolers on the engine and trans plus high-flow catalytic converters, new headers and stainless steel exhaust. For improved aerodynamics, the V63 Supercharged receives a front spoiler and rear diffuser with enlarged fins both crafted in visible carbon fiber. Quarter panel wheel well extensions allow widening the track by 80mm and a boot lid spoiler completes the exterior package. Wheels are provided by VÄTH's own three-spoke 9x20 inch forged rims with 255/30-20 tires at the front and 11x20 inch rims with  295/25-20 tires at the rear. A coilover suspension allows a 20-65 mm drop in ride height while stiffness is also adjustable. Inside there's a leather upholstered sports steering wheel, a 360 km/h speedometer dial and a carbon trimmed interior. The price for the entire package, not including car, is EUR 64,308.
