If you think that the standard Mercedes C63 AMG is the maddest family saloon ever you should check out the AVUS performance package for it! Of course it is hard to tell the differences by the visuals, they’ve only blacked out grille, mirror covers and the roof and that’s about it for the exterior! But the innocent looking C-class has now 585 rampaging horses under the bonnet that if unleashed, can take the car right up to 320 kph. AVUS says that thanks to a new suspension system it handles well too, yea right!

AVUS Press Release:

After the latest two publications from AVUS PERFORMANCE they are now showing that they are modifying not only cars from Ingolstadt. Their latest project car is a complete conversion based on the current Mercedes C63 AMG.

Understatement was something the tuner has focused on again. Besides the original 19“ AMG multi-spoke wheels (20“ optionally) first thing that stands out is the lower suspension setting which has been achieved by changing the standard springs – coilovers are available as an option. Further visual improvements can be seen only at a second sight. The mirror covers, the front grille, the roof, the Mercedes star and the bar below have been painted in black which look as if it is a factory option by Mercedes. Additionally the exhaust system has been changed to a stainless steel system which lets the car to sound the attack.

Of course visual improvements are not bad at all but what about power figures ? For the C63 AMG AVUS PERFORMANCE offers three power stages. The current project car has stage 3 with 585bhp (457bhp) and 740Nm (600Nm). Top speed increases to 320km/h depending on tire approval. To properly decelerate the car 8piston brake calipers with 380mm diameter are offered.
