The Mercedes C63 AMG, the Porsche 911 GT3 or the Aston Martin V12 Vantage S, which is best choice for the track and on the road, and which one would you choose?  For me, I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, the C63 AMG is my favorite AMG, make it a Black Series and no other car in its class can really compare.  Just listen to the engine, it should win based on sound alone.

But if my love of the C63 AMG Black Series isn’t enough for you and you still want to find out how they compare, Chris Harris puts all three in a head-to-head challenge through England in his latest /DRIVE video.  Check it out below.

A car like no other, the Mercedes C63 AMG with all it’s unadulterated power will be sorely missed.

The guys over at Drive put together a video wishing the AMG model a fond farewell.

Mercedes may have just debuted the new Mercedes-Benz C-Class in Detroit but we’re already looking ahead at what’s to come.  According to Tobias Moers, AMG’s Product Chief, Mercedes’ BMW M3 rival, otherwise known as the Mercedes C63 is about a year away.

But knowing the C63 AMG is on its way isn’t enough, we want to know what kind of power the AMG will output.  It looks like we can expect a new 4.0-litre turbocharged V8. “You are now familiar with our 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine? Well you can imagine what happens when you put two of those together,” Moers said.

Moers declined to discuss power output, but states that AMG’s tend to deliver a little more power than the competition. The new BMW M3 outputs 424bhp from its new turbocharged 3.0-litre six-cylinder engine,which would put the all-new Mercedes C63 AMG output well over 450bhp in standard trim and over 500bhp with the optional Peformance Pack.

Check out the current C-Class debut for a look at the new model.

Photos Via- Virtual-Car

Our good friends at GMotors have the latest spy photos of the next generation Mercedes C 63 AMG that reveal new details.

Thanks to the photos, we are able to see the large air intakes in the front bumper, AMG’s distinctive quad as well as small air intakes designed into the rear bumper. Compared to the standard Mercedes-Benz C-Class, The body of the C63 AMG appears to be wider as well.

As for what’s powering the new C63 AMG, expect to see a twin-turbo 5.5-litre V8 that is capable of producing roughly 450 HP.

The newly revisioned C-Class (W205) should be on debut at the North American International Auto Show (NAIAS) in Detroit this January with the AMG model following shortly after.

Thanks to Andrus and GMotors.

When it comes to AMG models, the C63 AMG commonly ranks among many peoples favorite, due to its compact size and huge power output.  It hits 0-62 in 4.4 seconds on its way to an electronically limited top speed of 155 mph thanks to its V8 engine that is capable of producing 457 HP and 600 Nm of torque. Enough to satisfy even the most power hungry drivers.

But for the few that are looking for more, Bespoke English tuner, Mulgari, has a new power upgrade that gives you just that.  More power.

Mercedes C63 AMG by Mulgari

Mulgari was able to increase the output of the C63 AMG’s naturally-aspirated V8 6.2-liter engine to massive 510 bhp (380 kW) and 521 lb-ft of torque (705 Nm).  That is more than Mercedes’ Edition 507 that was revealed earlier in the year.

The Mulgari C63 AMG  received a bespoke stainless steel exhaust system that utilizes active valve technology, this gives the driver the choice between driving quietly down a suburban street or letting everyone know he’s coming by the roar of the engine.

Mercedes C63 AMG Mulgari Engine

In addition, Mulgari also installed a carbon fiber front splitter and rear spoiler, and upgraded brakes necessary to stop such a beast. Lastly, thye removed the C63 AMG’s limited top speed, meaning the car can now hit a top speed of over 170 mph.

How much for all this extra power?  The total package from Mulgari C63 AMG 510 will set you back 7,995 GBP (VAT included), which at today’s exchange rate is around $12,700.

For the power hungry among you, Mercedes has released pricing details of their new C63 AMG Edition 507 range.  Pricing for the 2014 C63 AMG Edition 507 sedan will begin at $70,000 (along with a $925 delivery charge), and the C63 Edition 507 coupe is priced slightly higher at $72,500 (with the additional $925 as well).

If you’re unfamiliar with the C63 AMG Edition 507, it replaces what was the optional AMG Development Package for both the coupe and sedan. What you get is more power, with output of the AMG 6.3 liter V8 engine being pushed to 507 hp with 450 lb.-ft. of torque (up 56 horsepower over the standard models).  The result:  speed, and lots of it.  Both the C63 AMG Edition 507 coupe and sedan can now hit 60 mph in a mere 4.1 seconds, bettering the standard C63 model by three-tenths of a second (and the former optional AMG Development Package by two tenths of a second). And as an added bonus, top speed has been electronically raised to 174 mph (up from the standard 155 mph), ensuring even more exhilarating track runs on the weekend.

Mercedes C63 AMG Edition 507 Front and Side View

Speaking about the C63 AMG Edition 507, Ola Källenius, Chairman of the Board of Management of Mercedes-AMG GmbH, had this to say: “The C63 AMG with the classic AMG 6.3-liter high-revving V8 naturally aspirated engine is one of the most popular AMG high-performance cars in the world. With the new C 63 AMG Edition 507, we are offering our loyal customers an attractive model variant which boasts even higher performance and at the same time is visually exciting.”

Of course, incredible performance is nothing new to Mercedes, as many of the C63 AMG Edition 507’s components are carried over from the SLS AMG.  Key shared components include the eight-cylinder naturally aspirated engine’s forged pistons, connecting rods and a lightweight crankshaft. Also standard on the C63 Edition 507 is the AMG high-performance compound braking system with  super sexy red brake calipers.

Mercedes C63 AMG Edition 507 Interior Overview

Design wise, the C63 AMG Edition 507 notes numerous distinctive design cues, starting with the hood.  First made famous on the C63 AMG Coupe Black Series, the Edition 507’s aluminum hood notes two openings to help expel engine heat. On the ground, newly designed AMG light-alloy forged wheels (available in titanium grey or matte black) with 235/35 R 19 front tires and 255/30 R 19 rear tires further set the Edition 507 apart from its siblings.  And lastly, an AMG sports stripe applique in matte graphite grey is featured above the rocker panels, adding another sporty touch.

There’s als a variety of unique paint touches and interior upgrades, all of which you can view in the C63 AMG Edition 507 Photo Gallery below.

As for when you can get your hands on the new C63 AMG Edition 507, it’s going to be available in dealerships this month, so get your orders in now.

So far this year, Mercedes has launched the all-new CLA, an updated E-Class and its new flagship model, the 2014 S-Class – but Mercedes isn’t done yet and we’ve got the spy photos to prove it. Mercedes is planning a new generation of the C-Class and thanks to the sneaky photogs at AutoEvolution we have photos of the new AMG variant.

The new AMG C-Class will get rid of the naturally aspirated 6.2-liter V8 and instead go with the new 5.5-liter twin-turbo that will output around 500 HP, downtuned compared to the larger AMG models, just like other AMG models have.

Compared to the current model however, there will be some major performance upgrades thanks in part to a significant weight-loss, this also means better efficiency and handling.

According to reports, the AMG C-Class could change its name, the Mercedes C63 AMG badge would be replaced with C55 AMG.

Mercedes-Benz unveiled the more powerful, more aggressive C63 AMG model dubbed the “Edition 507” back in February, and at your request, we are taking another look at the insanely powerful AMG model. The output of the AMG 6.3 liter V8 engine has been increased by 56 hp, bringing the output to 507 hp with 450 lb.-ft. of torque.  Much of the technology from the SLS AMG has been carried over to the 2014 C63 AMG “Edition 507” including: the eight-cylinder naturally aspirated engine features forged pistons, connecting rods and a lightweight crankshaft as seen on the super sports car. An AMG high-performance compound constuction braking system with red brake calipers is fitted as standard.

The C63 AMG “Edition 507” will be on show in Geneva and be available in the Summer of 2013.

The C63 AMG “Edition 507” comes in both a coupe and sedan and produces 507 hp pushing it 0-60 in 4.1 seconds. This new model outperforms the existing 451 hp C63 model by three-tenths of a second, and the variants with the AMG Development Package which produce 481 hp by two-tenths of a second. In addition to an increase in top speed to 174 mph, the “Edition 507” also includes a voucher for a driver training session at the AMG Driving Academy.

According to Ola Källenius, Chairman of the Board of Management of Mercedes-AMG GmbH: “The C 63 AMG with the classic AMG 6.3-litre high-revving V8 naturally aspirated engine is one of the most popular AMG high-performance cars in the world. With the new C 63 AMG “Edition 507″, we are offering our loyal customers an attractive model variant which boasts even higher performance and at the same time is visually exciting.”

Preliminary Technical Data:

2014 Mercedes C63 AMG Edition 507

C63 AMG “Edition 507” featuring technology from the SLS AMG

The increase in power output to 507 hp at 6800 rpm comes courtesy of the modified inner workings of the AMG 6.3-liter V8 engine. The forged pistons adopted from the SLS AMG, together with new connecting rods and a lightweight crankshaft, translate into a weight saving of 6.6 lbs. The reduction of rotational mass inertia improves the agility of the eight-cylinder M156 naturally aspirated engine. The maximum torque has also increased by 7 lb.-ft., jumping from 443 lb.-ft. to 450 lb.-ft. at 5200 rpm. The titanium grey-painted variable intake manifold is a characteristic feature of the uprated V8 engine. A new engine control system rounds off the series of implemented powertrain measures.

The exterior of the C63 AMG “Edition 507” is characterized by exclusive new design features. Most notable of the features is the hood – it originates from the C63 AMG Coupe Black Series. Two openings in the distinctive aluminium hood help with expelling engine heat. Newly designed AMG light-alloy forged wheels with 235/35 R 19 front tires and 255/30 R 19 rear tires are another exclusive feature of the “Edition 507”. The AMG light-alloy wheels are produced using lightweight forging technology and are available in two variants: titanium grey with a high-sheen finish, or matte black with highsheen rim flanges. An AMG sports stripe applique in matte graphite grey have been located above the rocker panels and are yet another new feature of the exterior.

The spoiler lip on the trunk lid, the exterior mirror housings as well as the
surrounds on the radiator grille and daytime running lights are all finished in high-gloss black. Available as an option for the C63 AMG “Edition 507” is an exclusive designo magno platinum matte finish paint.

2014 Mercedes C63 AMG Edition 507

AMG high-performance braking system featuring compound technology

As standard, the C63 AMG “Edition 507” comes with an even more powerful AMG high-performance braking system featuring compound construction technology. The front axle makes use of compound brake discs measuring 14.2 in. x 1.4 in. The advantages of the compound design include higher fatigue strength and lower warping characteristics. In addition, compound construction discs are lighter in weight and the reduced unsprung masses improve the response of the spring/damping elements.

With compound construction, the brake discs are connected to an aluminium bowl via eight cast bracket arms. The brake discs are ventilated and perforated all around and are decelerated by means of 6-piston aluminium fixed calipers on the front axle and 4-piston fixed calipers on the rear axle. The brake callipers are painted red as standard fitment.

2014 Mercedes C63 AMG Edition 507

“Edition 507” interior: even more dynamic and exclusive

The sporty yet functional interior of the C63 AMG is even more dynamic and exclusive in the case of the “Edition 507”. Three different equipment and options are available to choose from: porcelain designo leather/DINAMICA, black designo leather/DINAMICA and black designo leather. In the case of the designo leather/DINAMICA upholstery, light-colored contrast stitching makes for an attractive highlight. The AMG Performance steering wheel in Alcantara® with light-colored contrasting stitching has a 12-o’clock marking. The gear selector lever of the AMG SPEEDSHIFT MCT 7-speed sports transmission is finished in DINAMICA and features an AMG badge. The steering wheel and gear selector lever gaiter also have light-colored contrast stitching.

In the AMG instrument cluster, red applications to the dials serve to visually differentiate this variant from the other C63 AMG models. The trim is done in high-gloss black piano lacquer and the “Edition 507” badge on the trim on the front passenger side round off the high-quality, exclusive interior.

Optional extras include:

• AMG illuminated door rocker panels
• AMG rear axle locking differential
• AMG 5-spoke light-alloy forged wheels, painted in titanium grey and with a  high-sheen finish, with tires in sizes 235/40 R 18 (front) and 255/35 R 18
(rear)
• AMG Performance Media
• AMG carbon-fiber/high gloss black piano lacquer-look trim
• Exterior designo magno platinum matte finish paint; four other exterior paint colors will be available from the existing C63 AMG palette.

The C63 AMG “Edition 507” will be celebrating its world premiere at the Geneva Motor Show, which will be opening its doors on March 5, 2013. The model’s sales and market launch in the U.S. is planned for the Summer of 2013. Pricing will be announced closer to the market launch.

The C63 AMG “Editon 507” coupe and sedan replace the existing AMG Development Package for MY2014, and will be sold in the U.S. in addition to the existing C63 AMG coupe and sedan with 451 hp.

Whether you want two doors or four, luxury or sport, you’ll find it in the Mercedes-Benz C-Class.  Starting at $35,350 for the C250 Sport Sedan up to $62,330 for the C63 AMG Coupe, the Mercedes C-Class also has a model for every budget.  Click through the photo gallery below to view the many different faces of the Mercedes C-Class.

Mercedes is currently road testing the new C63 AMG saloon ahead of its 2014 launch alongside the rest of the new C-Class range. The spy photos show the AMG variant with bigger, bulkier bumpers, large alloy wheels and twin exhaust housings at the rear.

The current version has 6.3-litre V8, while the new C63 AMG will be powered by a far more efficient 5.5-litre twin-turbo V8. It is expected to have the same 518bhp output as the E63 and CLS 63, which also use the newer turbocharged engine. That’s a jump of 67bhp.

It will also have the same AMG-tuned seven-speed dual-clutch transmission, which along with retuned adaptive suspension, stronger brakes and less weight should help it improve on the current C63 AMG’s 4.5-second 0-62 mph time, while using less fuel.

A new six-cylinder BMW M3 will make its debut in 2014 as well, so we can expect some strong competition. For more angles of the new C63 AMG testing, click here.

Following the success of their 2007 C63 RBS kit, Revozport has responded with their RBS II aerokit for the 2012 C63 Coupe, Sedan, and Estate. The RBS II design features a more aggressive front twin decked splitter, a vented lightweight carbon bonnet, side skirts with rear bumper flares, the signature rear diffuser with ground effects (this time with an addition of the cooling vents) last but not least the trunk spoiler. For the coupe model, they come in 2 different versions. An addon version and a full replacement aggressive type.

Here are some of the official photos and a video of the 2012 C63 RBS II Aerokit.

By 2020, Mercedes will be the best-selling and most profitable luxury-car brand, this is the hope of Chief Executive Dieter Zetsche.  With all the new models we’ve been seeing lately, they are well on their way to take the lead or at minimum, close the gap with BMW and Audi.

In 2013 we will likely see the unveiling of the new CLA compact sedan based on the A-Cass, the new C-Class, facelifted E-Class and probably the S-Class, which will have five variants, including a coupe and a cabriolet.

Today, the prototype for the next generation C-Class AMG was photographed by some very stealthy spy photogs. The new C-Class will make a radical departure from the styling of the current model, will be lighter and packed with new safety technology. This will serve as an ideal platform to take the fight to the BMW M3 and Audi RS4 and RS5.

Instead of continuing with the 6.3-liter naturally aspirated V8, they will use the new twin-turbo 5.5-liter V8, like the one used by nearly the entire AMG family. There are currently four states of output for this engine. In the E63 AMG and CLS63 AMG, this means 525 hp in base configuration, which is what the C63 AMG will likely make now. However, it’s not inconceivable that a new lower output version with about 500 hp will be engineered.

According to Autoevolution, the ‘63’ name will be dropped, and the fast sedan will actually be called the C55 AMG. This is not that strange if AMG were to make two versions, like with the G-Class and SL-Class but we’ll wait to see.

The Mercedes special customization program, AMG Performance Studio has created the Mercedes C63 AMG Performance Studio Edition. Recently revealed, the special C63 AMG offers updated looks, but unfortunately is destined for the Japanese market exclusively.

The C63 AMG Performance Studio Edition features a Designo matte black exterior with matching 19-inch AMG wheels with an extra red strip around the exterior of the rim. These wheels fit perfectly with the Mercedes C63 AMG’s red brake calipers, offering a intimidating look.

The interior of the special C63 AMG has been redone in red and black nappa leather on the dashboard, armrest, center console, door panels and of the seats with red stitching throughout. The two-tone steering wheel is trimmed in classic designo red and black leather as well.

The Mercedes C63 AMG Performance Studio Edition outputs 30 hp more than the standard version, and is equipped with a limited-slip differential and a G sensor. Receives a special AMG COMAND display which provides performance data such as lap time, engine power output, torque and a G sensor.  The price is reportedly around 15 million Yen with deliveries beginning in November.

German tuner Edo Competition is offering up a new power kit designed specifically for the Mercedes C63 AMG.   The result is an enormous power increase from the stock output of 457 HP / 336 kW, bumping power to 600 HP / 441 kW.  In addition to the added horsepower, torque output growns from 600 Nm (442 lb-ft) to 680 Nm (501 lb-ft), helping propel the Edo C63 AMG from 0-62 mph in 4.1 seconds (before hitting a top speed of 213 mph).  Making the magic happen, some of the new toys include a new high-performance exhaust system with programmable electronic controller, exhaust headers, high-flow catalytic converters, new air filters, revised engine electronics and the removal of a top speed governor.

With added power comes added handling needs, namely in the form of new tires/wheels.  Specific modifications needed to be made to the C63’s wheels in order to handle speeds over 211 mph, with Edo opting for for 235/35 ZR 19 high-performance Michelin tires mounted on 8.5Jx19 multi-piece wheels in the frong with 265/30 ZR 19 tires on 9.5Jx19 multi-piece wheels in the back.

And lastly, carbon fiber applications have been used to enhance its aesthetic qualities throughout the interior.

Hit the gallery below for a closer look at Edo Competition’s Mercedes C63 AMG T-Model.

A slightly modified Mercedes C63 AMG ran the quarter mile in just over 11 seconds, not bad but not amazing.  So what makes this particular sprint so special, the driver is a well aged 60+ year young woman with a love for drag racing.  Yes, drag racing.  The woman, unfortunately they didn’t catch her name, was happy to share details of her Mercedes C63 AMG before showing her skills on the track and joining her Dodge Viper driving husband.

Enjoy the video.

Ultra-powerful, ultrafast and conspicuously inconspicuous: the BRABUS BULLIT Coupe 800, which celebrates its world debut at the 2012 Geneva Motor Show, is built in small-series production based on the two-door Mercedes C 63 AMG model. In place of the 6.3-liter fast-revving V8 that powers the production car, a twelve-cylinder engine in BRABUS 800 V12 Biturbo specification lurks beneath the matte-black exterior. 800 hp (788 bhp) / 588 kW and a peak torque of 1,420 Nm (1,047 lb-ft) propel the BULLIT Coupe 800 to superlative performance: 3.7 seconds to 100 km/h (62 mph), 23.8 seconds from 0 – 300 km/h (186 mph) and a top speed in excess of 370 km/h (230 mph) document the unique know-how of the engineers from BRABUS

BRABUS went into the wind tunnel to engineer the aerodynamic-enhancement components that are part of the equipment of this supercar, as are new 20-inch BRABUS Monoblock R wheels, a sport suspension with customer-selectable ride height and damper rates, a high-performance brake system and exclusive cockpit design. The supercar will sell for an MSRP starting at EUR 378,000. It goes without saying that this car can also be built based on the Black Series C 63 AMG Coupe.

The BRABUS BULLIT Coupe 800 seamlessly continues the tradition of high-performance supercars from Bottrop. Following in the footsteps of the BRABUS BULLIT supercars based on the Mercedes C-Class sedan, which each produced 730 hp (720 bhp) / 537 kW and reached top speeds in excess of 360 km/h (224 mph), the even more powerful BRABUS BULLIT Coupe 800 has now been developed based on the new C-Class Coupe.

Numerous modifications to the reinforced C-Class body were necessary to implant the turbocharged V12 into the engine bay. The BRABUS 800 V12 Biturbo engine is derived directly from the BRABUS E V12 one of ten. For this purpose an up-to-date Mercedes S 600 engine Motor is completely reengineered in the company engine building shop.

There is nothing to take the place of displacement except more displacement and for that reason displacement of the 12-cylinder, three-valve engine is increased from 5.5 to 6.3 liters (336 to 384 cu. in.) with the help of a special crankshaft with longer stroke, larger, forged pistons and an increase in cylinder bore across the board. Intake and outlet ports of both cylinder heads are optimized for mixture flow, and fitted with sports camshafts.

The engine peripherals were also completely reworked completely. The inlet side features a newly designed, larger header casing that gets its combustion air from carbon-fiber ram-air intake system integrated into the hood.

To achieve the desired power increase of almost 300 hp over the production engine, the exhaust side had to be newly configured as well. The BRABUS 800 Biturbo system comprises two special exhaust manifolds with integrated high-performance turbochargers, and four water-to-air intercoolers. The stainless-steel high-performance exhaust system with free-flow metal catalysts and driver-controlled butterfly valve also was created specifically for the C-Class Coupe floorpan.

State-of-the-art engine BRABUS test benches were used by the engineers for designing new mapping for engine electronics and on-board diagnostics. The result is maximum power yield while meeting strict current EURO V emission standards.

The BRABUS 800 V12 Biturbo high-capacity engine, which like all BRABUS high-performance engines is lubricated exclusively with MOTUL synthetic motor oil, produces 800 PS (788 bhp) / 588 kW at 5,500 rpm. The peak torque of 1,420 Nm (1,047 lb-ft) is limited electronically in the car to 1,100 Nm (811 lb-ft).

Power is transferred to the rear wheels via an appropriately reinforced seven-speed automatic transmission, which is shifted either automatically or manually via shift paddles on the steering wheel, and a BRABUS limited-slip rear differential with a locking rate of 40 percent. The BRABUS BULLIT Coupe 800 features all state-of-the-art driving dynamics systems such as ABS, ASR and ESP.

The matte-black stealth coupe delivers unrivaled performance: in a catapult start just 3.7 seconds pass from 0-100 km/h (62 mph), 9.8 seconds to 200 km/h (124 mph). The 300-km/h (186-mph) barrier is shattered after 23.8 seconds. Top speed is more than 370 km/h (230 mph).

To be able to attain such extreme speeds while maintaining outstanding directional stability, the aerodynamic properties of the two-door car were modified extensively in the wind tunnel. The supplemental carbon-fiber BRABUS front spoiler reduces lift on the front axle at high speeds. The carbon-fiber lightweight air routers for the air inlets in the front fascia go beyond optimizing the supply of cooling air for radiators and front brakes. These lateral air vents also allow the air streaming through the radiators to exit again as quickly as possible. Another significant contribution to the heat exchange in the engine bay is made by the BRABUS air vents integrated into the front fenders behind the wheel wells.

The BRABUS designers have developed an aerodynamically effective combination of rear wing and diffuser insert for the rear fascia in order to generate more downforce on the rear axle. This carbon-fiber component has cutouts on the right and left side for the dual ceramics-plated design tailpipes of the BRABUS stainless-steel high-performance exhaust system.

The thrilling looks of the BRABUS BULLIT Coupe 800 is rounded out by the new BRABUS Monoblock R wheels. They represent a fresh approach with their unique design that features two times five double spokes arranged on two different plains. While the posterior plain has a titanium paint finish, the anterior surfaces are polished and coated with a smoke-colored clear lacquer, which lends the wheel a highly individual character. In sizes 8.5Jx20 in front and 9.5Jx20 on the rear axle the BRABUS Monoblock R wheels make perfect use of the available space in the wheel wells. The high-performance tires in sizes 235/30 ZR 20 and 275/25 ZR 20 are supplied by technology partners Continental, Pirelli or YOKOHAMA.

The height-adjustable coilover suspension was custom developed for the BRABUS BULLIT Coupe 800 in cooperation with technology partner BILSTEIN. It features gas-pressure shocks on front and rear axle with ten selectable settings each for bound and rebound for a sporty yet comfortable ride. Sport sway bars reduce body roll during fast cornering to a minimum.

The BRABUS high-performance brake system consists of vented and grooved steel brake discs that measure 380 x 37 millimeters (15.0 x 1.45 in.) and 12-piston aluminum fixed calipers in the front. In combination with vented and grooved steel discs measuring 360 x 28 millimeters (14.2 x 1.1 in.) and six-piston fixed aluminum calipers on the rear axle it easily masters even highest brake loads.

The cockpit of the supercar has a distinctly sporty design. The interior was clad by the BRABUS master craftsmen in the upholstery shop in a combination of black leather and Alcantara to match the outer skin. Red contrasting seams add discrete sporty highlights. This look is rounded out by genuine carbon-fiber components on the dashboard, center console and door trim. Further sporty features are the ergonomically shaped BRABUS sport steering wheel as well as aluminum pedals and shifter.

Jenson Button and Mikä Häkkinen partner with Johnnie Walker in a new commercial to say “No” to drinking and driving. It’s a powerful statement, one that says that you’re committed to staying in control.

Watch the video below of two-time world champion and Johnnie Walker Responsible Drinking Ambassador, Mikä Häkkinen and Vodafone McLaren Mercedes driver Jenson Button, sign the pact as only they could do in a Mercedes C63 AMG.

You too can join the pact by going to jointhepact.com.

Kicherer unveiled their latest Mercedes C63 AMG program update, based on the pre-facelifted model, which they dubbed the “White Edition”. With subtle visual modifications, and a generous power increase, Kicherer’s aftermarket kit for the C63 AMG is a complete package.

Thanks in part to a re-programmed ECU, the Kicherer C63 AMG outputs a whopping 520 PS (382 kW / 513 hp) and 620 Nm (457 lb-ft) of torque. That is three more horsepower than the powerful Mercedes C63 AMG Coupe Black Series’ 510 hp. To make the power more manageable, Kicherer equipped their C63 sedan with a high-performance limited slip differential with variable slip, individual high-performance adjustable coilovers and Brembo brakes.

The Kicherer Mercedes C63 AMG aerodynamics package includes a new front apron, a carbon fiber grille, side skirts, and new rear diffuser. Kicherer did not foget the need to appeal to more than a driver’s visual sense, for a driver’s sense of sound, Kicherer chose a bespoke flap-controlled sport exhaust system, made from stainless steel. To round out the exterior modifications, the C63 AMG Sedan rides on 20-inch wheels.

Once on the inside of the Meredes C63 AMG you are surrounded by two-tone (white/black) Napa leather upholstery, and a white stitched sports steering wheel.

Pricing on the kit has not been made public but is available by request to Kicherer.
