For those seeking a little more output from the C63 AMG, Mercedes has announced the availability of a new Performance Package Plus which aims to make the model even more appealing. Available ex factory, power in the C63 AMG is increased 22 kW/30 hp to 358 kW/487 hp, enough to help the model accelerate from 0-62 mph in 4.4 seconds and 0-124 mph in 13.9 seconds (standard C63 AMG: 0-62 mph in 4.5 seconds and 0-124 mph in 15.2 seconds). Top speed remains at 155 mph, electronically limited.
Other highlights of the C63 AMG Performance Package Plus include a new AMG high-performance braking system, a carbon fiber spoiler lip on the trunk and a new AMG performance steering wheel in nappa leather/Alcantara.
Pricing for the package is set at EUR €7080.50 or €6426 (saloon/estate; prices include 19% VAT), with the market launch this December. You can, however, place your orders for the C63 AMG fitted with the Performance Package Plus immediately.
