VATH Tuning Mercedes-Benz V63RS

As far as station wagons (or Estates, or whatever we're calling them this week) go, the Mercedes C63 AMG is pretty awesome.

As far as station wagons (or Estates, or whatever we're calling them this week) go, the Mercedes C63 AMG is pretty awesome. Of course, as everyone knows - more is more.  And MORE is what VATH Tuning is offering to C63 AMG Wagon owners with their new V63RS package for the über-wagon.

Vath goes to work under the hood, pumping power up from the stock 453bhp to a more respectable 585bhp.  Torque jumps from 442lb-ft to a tire-melting 509lb-ft (600nM to 690nM).  They don't go into details as far as what they change to acheive the increase in power, but I suppose when you know how to get more power out of an AMG engine than the people at AMG, you tend to keep that sort of thing close to your chest.

To help put the colossal power to the ground, the evil-looking wagon has a limited-slip differential with a 60% locking rate, high-performance adjustable coilover suspension, and 20" rolling stock with sticky summer tires - 245/30 front and 285/25 rear.  VATH says the C63 will top out at 325km/h, which is 202mph - in a station wagon. Do want.

There's also a carbon fibre front bumper, hood and rear diffuser to appeal to the tech junkies.  Vath will also sell other parts rendered in the ultra-expensive composite material, depending on how badly you want to impress the Benz club.  There are also available audio upgrades and an integrated TV/DVD player - but with a 585bhp V8, do you really need ICE to keep yourself from being bored?  I'd hope not.
