Performmaster C63 V8 Final Edition

The exclusive tuner of the Mercedes-AMG cars, Performmaster, has introduced the Performmaster C63 V8 Final Edition, based on the Mercedes-AMG C63.

The car is painted in metallic gray and is equipped with a special equipment kit. This includes much wider fenders, typical performmaster grill, large air intakes, double exhaust tailpipes, AMG diffuser and the spoiler lip on the boot lid that provide the sporty finish.

The Performmaster C63 V8 Final Edition is powered by a 4.0L V8 engine with 612 hp (450 kW) and 620 lb-ft (840 Nm) of torque. This is a significant increase in power compared to the standard model with 510 hp (375 kW) and 519 lb-ft (700 Nm) of torque. The V8 Final Edition reaches 62 mph in 3.8 seconds with a top speed of 192 mph (310 km / h).

Increasingly strict regulations on CO2 emissions have forced Mercedes to slowly abandon the 4-liter V8 engine after giving up the legendary biturbo V12. Some information says that the V8 engine will not be offered in the new generation C-Class (W206), which will be powered by a 2.0L 4-cylinder Hybrid.

It is unknown at this time how much the upgrade will cost. For those who can afford it, it could be a good investment given that the price of the Mercedes-AMG C63 is expected to rise in the future.
