Wimmer is one of those tuners who like to continuously improve their previous upgrades . And the car in question this time is the Mercedes C63 AMG who received new modifications to the 6.3-litre V8 engine. These modifications include a sports camshaft, reworked cylinder heads, an optimized air intake, custom manifold and catalytic converters plus a stainless steel exhaust system and a sports air filter.
These numerous upgrades enable the Mercedes C63 AMG to unleash 601 horsepower and 720 Nm of torque, which means a power to weight ratio of 2,79 Kg/HP. As a result the new top speed is 329 Km/h and for those who are interested in purchasing this engine conversion, Wimmer says it costs 19,900 Euros.
The German tuner says it can also fit the Mercedes C63 AMG with a new wheel and tire combination consisting of BBS CH-R alloys (8.5 or 9.5 x 19 inches) and Dunlop rubber (235/35-19 front, 265/35-19 at the rear), all for an additional 3,600 Euros.
Wimmer press release :
FULL FORCE BY WIMMER – C63 AMG PERFORMANCE
When it comes to progressive vehicle development, the Mercedes-Benz C63
AMG from Munich (or Ingolstadt / Neckarsulm, to be more specific) could
gain the victory over its competitors. Even in the serial configuration,
this car allows the “chauffeur” to experience unusual feelings and
makes the driver both a connoisseur and a winner. WIMMER
Rennsporttechnik from Solingen has personified the driving fun once
again – as it should be after the company name addition – breathing even
more performance.
Modification of the V8 Motor with standard 6.3-liter engine includes
above all things sports camshaft and the cylinder head reworked.
Manifold, down pipe and high flow catalytic converters are the next
stages. After optimization of the air intake, installation of a
stainless steel exhaust system and a sport air filter adaptation by
WIMMER-Motorelektronik goes without saying. The result of all these
measures is powerful 601 hp and 720 Nm of torque – a by no means
despised value. The total result is ultimately power to weight ratio of
2.79 kg / hp. As a result, in comparison with the approved Vmax of 306
km/h, the “unlocked” Vmax value can now reach 329 km/h. The engine
conversion by WIMMER costs 19900 Euro.
The fact that the C63 AMG no longer has the original wheel/tire
combination is needless to say. The choice dropped on BBS CH-R alloy
wheels in dimensions of 8.5 or 9.5 x 19 inches. The car is fitted with
the Dunlop tires in the dimensions of 235/35-19 at the front axle and
265/35-19 – at the rear axle. The in-house suspension proposed at 3600
Euros was installed again.
The men from WIMMER Rennsporttechnik showcase once again present the
perfect conversion of a vehicle, in which it is very difficult to resist
temptation to step into and take it to the road, right?
