The next-generation Mercedes-AMG C63 departs from using the V8 engine. However, aftermarket specialist Manhart hasn’t forgotten about it. The tuner has given the W205 C63 S a modest performance upgrade pack, turning it into the subtly menacing CR 600.
The W205 AMG C63 is no slouch, with the automaker’s M177 twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V8 engine hiding under the hood. The engine makes 510 horsepower and 519 pound-feet (700 Newton-meters) of torque in its stock configuration. However, Manhart manages to squeeze out more than 100 extra horsepower even though it has created more potent versions of the hot C63.
