No body denies that AMG produces the best of Mercedes Performance Parts and as a bonus since Daimler has already acquired AMG long time ago the OEM warranty is remained fully intact, the AMG version offers peace of mind for performance oriented Benz buyer. For an estimated price of $57,225 the 2009 Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG W204 comes with famous hand built silicon-aluminum alloy M156 producing 457 hp with torque peaks at 600 Nm at a cost of hefty $2600 gas-guzzler tax (twice the M3 rating) due to its gulping larger V8 at 12 mpg city and 19 mpg highway drivings.
Should such muscle performance level be regarded as insufficient, and Factory Warranty considerations precede all out performances; then there is always another alternative for the best surpassing any other competitor in its class. C63’s main competitors the 414 hp BMW M3 and the 416 hp Lexus IS provide less power at extraordinary bang for the
In response to the overly damped suspension especially due to the basic car set up as it tends to have harsh ride at lower speed, a typical Benz traits from the “Over Engineering” inheritance time. The CK63S features specially developed stepless height adjustment RS coilover kit, allowing almost infinite range of dynamics to suit any driving mood. Carlsson also deploys torque-sensitive multi-plate limited slip differential (LSD) with mechanical variable lock-up custom tailored to any kind of driving style to increase traction and driving stability.
You will appreciate this LSD for hard acceleration out of any corner; no body argues for the G-force on cornering is certainly an adrenalin addiction. Along with twin sport muffler which enhances rear end view to match the overall strong authority yet beautiful styling kit offered either made of high-quality polyurethane or carbon fiber; Carlsson also provide 19" forged wheel rims which features significant less weight to help better handling responses.
If this review sounds too much stratospheric extravaganzas, we might as well going back to the earth surface level. There are other alternatives as reasonable as top reasoning to emulate muscle car; the majority of tuners these days could do a lot for our beloved ride at much sensible price! Start off with purposeful function parts to enhance safety and handling look no further than BILSTEIN Suspension Kit
A good set of suspension and 55 low profile tires may substitute for
the necessity to upgrade existing braking system, no need for Brembo with multiple pistons or else upgrade to street type ceramic brake pad. For cosmetic purposes; though this may not be justifiable few owners completely altered their old Benz to the latest exterior appearance and many will only add extra accessories, as the majority of Benz purist is keeping theirs as original as possible. I have been saving this for the last; for original look of Mercedes G Wagen look no further than my past articles and lastly as an example on body alterations, a 1985 W124 300E had been transformed into 1995 320E “Master Piece” style.
This transformed Master Piece has been in our family since mid 90s and was one time kept in our garage only to be driven out for special occasion only, such as going for a trip to Bandung through the punishing Cipularang Toll road. Not many cars offer exhilarating experiences driving at 160 kmh with eerie quietness and especially with hunkering characteristic of Benz. It was bought used at 60K km mileage featuring attractive blue interior to match its body color.
