VÄTH V63RS Power-C-Class Clubsport Wagon

German tuner Väth is slowly gaining a reputation for kits that are somewhat over the top. At this point the company introduces the new Mercedes-Benz C 63 AMG Estate-based Väth V63RS Clubsport wagon. It follows on the V63RS Clubsport sedan that was announced just over a year ago.

There we see a power increase from the stock 451hp (332kW) and 600Nm (443 lb ft) of torque to a Väth-certified 585hp (430kW) and 690Nm (509 lb ft) of torque. The car is fitted with a limited slip differential that has a 60 percent locking rate. Good thing too because the C63 AMG has a knack for losing grip during quick take-off. These changes will help the V63RS achieve a top end of 202mph (325km/h).

A sport suspension has been incorporated and high performance brakes fitted. The wheels are 20-inches wide and keep the car firmly planted on the road. The rear end has a carbon fiber diffuser.

Väth also promises goodies like a TV/ DVD unit "and whatever else your heart desires."
