Lightbulb Carlsson tunes the Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG

Common sense tells us that a 450+ horsepower 6.3L V8 is completely unnecessary in a small sedan, but our passion for cars rarely relies on sensibility. Perhaps for that same reason Carlsson is offering a tuning package for the C63 AMG that bumps horsepower to 565 and torque to more than 500. This gives the CK63 S the ability to reach 60 mph in just 3.8 seconds, and the top speed has been increased to 300 km/h. Helping to put all that power down is an upgraded coilover suspension system and a new limited slip differential. Carlsson is also offering subtle body upgrades including a new front and rear spoiler, lightweight forged wheels, and interior accents. All together Carlsson has produced a package that makes the potent C63 AMG even more so, which it sorely needs if the German sedan ever hopes to catch the 556-hp Cadillac CTS-V.
