A 585-hp Mercedes-Benz C 63 AMG Estate


So you already feel pretty crappy that your significant other is forcing you to purchase the Mercedes-Benz C 63 AMG Estate over its cooler and sexier looking sedan sibling. Worry not; Vath is here to help you out. The German tuning firm is offering a bunch of visual and performance upgrades that are sure to grab the attention of soccer moms when you drop your little ones off at school or a game.

After a series of enhancements, Vath allows the 6.3L V8 under the hood to pump out 585-hp with a maximum torque of 509 lb-ft. That allows the, what Vath calls the V63RS, to go from 0 to 62 mph a little faster than the standard model and will let you keep going to a top speed of 202 mph.

To further enhance performance, Vath added a limited slip differential with a 60% locking rate, a sports tuned suspension and a high-performance braking system.

Visual upgrades include some lightweight carbon fiber touches with a new front lip, rear apron and a redesigned rear diffuser. The Vath V63RS rides on 20-inch alloy wheels.
