Väth Automobiltechnik from Hoesbach, Germany has created the V63 Supercharged, based on the Mercedes C63 AMG Coupe. The end result is an inconspicuous beast of a car that puts out 680 PS (670 bhp / 500 kW), 840 Nm (620 lb-ft) of torque for a mere EUR 64,308 over the base cost of the C63 AMG Coupe.  The standard Mercedes C63 AMG Coupe puts out 487 PS (358 kW / 480 hp) and 600 Nm (443 lb-ft) of torque, meaning the update gives you an extra 197PS and 240 Nm (177 lb-ft). A sprint from 0-100 km/h will only take you 4.0 seconds and top speeds end at 335 km/h (208 mph). Such high speeds are achieved thanks to a water cooled supercharger, revised engine management, oil coolers on the engine and trans plus high-flow catalytic converters, new headers and stainless steel exhaust.

To improve aerodynamics, the V63 Supercharged Väth has a front spoiler and rear diffuser with enlarged fins that are both crafted in visible carbon fiber. Quarter panel wheel well extensions allow widening the track by 80mm and a boot lid spoiler completes the exterior package.

VÄTH’s three-spoke 9×20 inch forged rims with 255/30-20 tires ride on the front of the V63 and 11×20 inch rims with  295/25-20 tires are at the rear. The C63 AMG Coupe has a coilover suspension allowing a 20-65 mm drop in ride height while stiffness is also adjustable.

On the inside, there’s a leather upholstered sports steering wheel, a 360 km/h speedometer dial and carbon trimmed interior.
