Wimmer Mercedes-Benz C 63 AMG

This site covers a lot of tuning packages, and, in most of them, the package includes some sort of cosmetic upgrade. But what about buyers who think their car looks good on its own, but still want more power? Wimmer RST, a German tuning company, has appealed to just this sort of tuner with their C63 package.

Wimmer thinks the C63 is a very good looking car and seeks to make the most of a good thing by upping the already formidable power coming from the 6.2 L V8 and getting 572 hp and 509 lb-ft from the car, up from the standard 450 hp and 443 lb-ft of torque. Wimmer finds this power by optimizing air induction, air filtering, and a remap of the ECU. The new exhausts also help, while providing a nicer sound to boot. The car is, like most German cars, still limited; but the 190 mph ceiling should be plenty for any serious gearhead.

The C63 can be a good looking car, even if the driver (oddly) thinks it needs more power. Wimmer, for $13,560, can make that happen.

Press Release:

Wimmer presents its Program for making modern Ferrari F430 Scuderia appearance unique. The individualized sports car from Italy unites sport characteristics and dynamics, thus one more time expressing the basic principle of all Wimmer products: safety is guaranteed!

Wimmer Ferrari Scuderia Performance Kit is topical at the Essen Motor Show. For Ferrari F430 Wimmer RS has developed a Power Packet that can be heared and felt. The kit includes new Wimmer engine control software and sport valve exhaust system. With the use of remote control a driver can choose between nearly serial sport sound and racing sound. In addition the handbuilt high grade steel exhaust system that optimizes dynamic pressure contains two welded high grade steel exhaust manifolds as well as two sport catalytic converters and an exhaust valves control unit. Upon the whole the new performance kit provides for the sensible increase of 38 hp in engine power what corresponds to the speed increase of about 11km/h, with maximum speed reaching 321 km/h. For acceleration up to 100 km/h F430 Scuderia needs now just 3.84 seconds. 200 kph speed is reached within 11.03 seconds and 300 kph – within 34.9 seconds.

Now the program includes also new KW HLS system (Hydraulic Lift System): when you push the button, the vehicle equipped with KW HLS is adjusted by up to 45 mm on the front axle. Thus the obstacles that cannot be overcome with low ground clearance, can be driven over without any problems. The hydraulic unit is mounted on the coilovers between spring cups and springs. The advantage of the hydraulic system consists in the fact that no compression (movement) of moving-out cylinder unit (thus no undesired additional elastic deflection) occurs while driving.

19″ BBS FI alloy rims (7.6 kg each front axle rim and 8.8 kg each rear axle rim) on? more time emphasize its sport characteristics. High class super light BBS alloy rims in black are comleted by 8.75×19 with 225/35 R 19 tyres on the front axle and 11.25×19 with 305/30 R19 tyres on the rear axle. High speed tyres are presented by the technology partner Dunlop.
