This is no ordinary Mercedes-AMG C63. It"s a Mercedes-AMG C63 to which Brabus has added much power and many torques. The headline figures are 641bhp and 604lb ft, increases of 138bhp and 88lb ft over a normal, not-at-all inadequate 503bhp C63 S.The 0-62mph now takes just 3.7secs - a 0.3sec improvement - and it"s limited (yes, limited) to 200mph. Yikes.All that extra power comes from a pair of new turbochargers, which have bigger compressor units and reinforced axial bearings, and a Brabus control unit to better manage the electronic boost pressure control. Brabus also adds 10-way adjustable Bilstein coilovers and many bits of carbon fibre trim it claims reduces lift and improves stability. It all looks a bit Wilmslow, but for high-speed autobahning, we quite like the idea.
