New Carlsson CK63 S: A Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG on Steroids

The new Carlsson CK63 S is yet another proposal for those who look at Merc's AMG models and see nothing more than underpowered four-door saloons. Taking the C63 AMG as a base, Carlsson's engineers developed a performance kit that boosts the serial output of the 6.3-litre V8 from 457HP to 565HP while the torque significantly increases from 600 to 685 Nm. The German tuner claims that the CK63 S needs a mere 3.8 sec to accelerate from 0-100 km/h (62mph) instead of the serial 4.5 sec. The sport sedan's top speed is electronically limited to 300 km/h or 187mph. -Continued

To help put the additional power on the road in a sensible manner, Carlsson has developed a sport coil-over kit that offers step-less height adjustment and individual settings for the damping characteristics with which the driver can regulate the setup according to his preferences. If you're willing to push your hand deeper into the pocket, Carlsson also offers an optional torque-sensitive multi-plate limited slip differential with mechanically variable lock-up.

Moving on to the vehicle's styling, Carlsson's aerodynamic kit consists of a front spoiler, the front spoiler lip and a rear spoiler which are made of high-quality PUR or optionally real carbon. The kit is complemented by a set of lightweight 19-inch alloy wheels. As for the interior, it all depends on how much you're willing to spend as Carlsson compiles various components to an individual mix, from a sport steering wheel to leather interiors or multi-media accessories.
