Mansory is a name you probably know from carbon Bugattis, Bentleys and Ferraris that live in a different universe to common taste and decency. So it"s something of a shock and relief to see its name on something a bit more real world. Well, as real world as a 641bhp Mercedes with carbon mirror housings gets. It"s a Mercedes-AMG C63 S coupe a car we have an enormous soft spot for here with much tuning, its 4-litre twin-turbo V8 engine gaining 138bhp and 110lb ft. That"s basically the outputs of an old Suzuki Swift Sport, freed up via a new ECU and sports exhaust. Naturally, Mansory has chiselled out the old speed limiter, too, so the C63 now has a 192mph top end. Lovely.
