VATH V63 SUPERCHARGED 10/10 Test Drive

Most surely you don’t get the chance to test drive a C63 AMG Coupe every day. And more importantly, if such vehicle comes from the factory VATH, you must definitely go with what the moment offers. Here is the attempt to reproduce at least some impressions: having in mind a Porsche, Lamborghini and Ferrari as a stereotype of fast sports cars, lets see what impressions has Vath V63 Supercharged left.

Without a doubt this car has a surplus power according to its operating capabilities. There’s a V8 engine with a compressor system, thank to which you can here a mesmerizing and fascinating sound! And if you want to buy it you will definitely have to consider the neighbors and their high noise tolerance! But I am sure that when you get in the car, you won’t care anymore about such details. This is because the cockpit of a C63 AMG Coupe was subject to additional power increase by VATH. More importantly it comes along with the irresistible power of 680 hp / 500 kW, 840 Nm / 620 lb-ft of torque. And to accelerate from zero to 100 km/h you will have to wait only 4 seconds. The name V63 Supercharged comes from the tuning kit which includes the individual fine-tuning of engine electroincs as well as a compressor system with VATH water intercooling system. Furthermore the oil in the engine and the gearbox is protected by a special cooling system against possible overheating. With this power, it goes almost impeccably given that there is a high-performance brake system with 380-mm rotors at VA installed essentially. There is of course the Castrol SRF brake oil which is being used for maximum braking efficiency. Furthermore the exhaust system along with its manifold is made out of VA stainless steel and consists of a sport end muffler at a throttle control.

To go further into details there is a visible carbon front spoiler and a visible carbon-fiber rear diffuser with enlarged fins, thus resulting in improved aerodynamics and sporty and elegant look. To optimize the stability of the car at high speeds, VATH developed carbon fender for the rear axle which allows widening the track by 80mm.

Considering the traction between the car and the asphalt – there has been included a three-spike 9×20 inch VATH forged rims with 255/30-20 tires at VA or 11×20 inch rims with 295/25-20 tires at the rear. Furthermore the coupe has smooth curves and there is also a Clubsport – coilover suspension, which allows lowering within 20-65 mm. When installed, it is possible to adjust the height and hardness resulting in an optimal and safe handling while maintaining comfort.

What is optional in this modification first is the sports steering wheel covered in leather, which can optionally be installed with wood or carbon applications. Another improvement is the speedometer’s extension which can reach up to 360 km/h. The highest processing precision and perfect fitting by VATH are of course the indispensable must-be option!

Another benefit to be mentioned is that you can drive the V63 Supercharged in city traffic, because it acts like a “normal” car. Moreover it sneaks slightly angry from one traffic light to another one. On the other hand on the highway the things are absolutely different: the car turns into a street legal racing machine which makes the above-mentioned sports cars characteristics utilizable!

The complete tuning price is 64, 308 EUR.

Wimmer RS Mercedes C63 AMG Eliminator

The BlueGreen Eliminator is the transformation of a C63 AMG Performance.

The one of the major chip-tuners – When Wimmer RS – prepares for the tuning scene a street car. And currently Germany is making preparations for the winter time season and of course Wimmer RS’ tires are squealing during the work on the “blue-green project“. The well reknown Solingen gives their pros because this amazing car have some specific features like sport camshafts. Moreover the cylinder head was developed during the improvement of the V8 engine which capacity amounts to 6.3 liters. In addition, the incoming air is being optimized and therefore optimized by a sport air filter by K & N.

What is more, the next starting points are a manifold, down pipe and special sport catalysts from the HJS. Furthermore there has been made a hand-made stainless steel exhaust system from the Wimmer House. Of course it is precisely transformed and tuned to cope with all the power of the engine – and this innovation completes the mechanical alterations. These adjustments deprive the eliminator of a uncomfortable and loud sound, which can also be controlled in three stages – all this is possible thank to the electronic throttle control by the Wimmer House.

The tuning of the WIMMER engine electronics is stunning and if you drive the car – definitely breathtaking. The function of this new adjustment is to make a round steady driving experience. And for all this to become a real dream come true in charge are high-quality mechanical modifications.

The effect of all these measures is enormous 601 hp (376 kW) and 720 Nm (531 lb-ft) of torque. This value will be very well appreciated by the genuine car freaks.

These modifications had lead up to the engine specific weight which is 2.79 kg/hp. As a result, the flatout is 329 km/h. And if you still wonder about the price of the engine conversion – it is 19 900 €.

You have to prepare approximately 2.600, – € if you want Wimmer RS to mount a clubsport coilover suspension by the KW Company – and for this price you’ll get a better control on the road. And for the additional 22.000 € you can have a brand new brake system, which includes MOV’IT-ceramic brake system of 380×40 mm with 6-piston brake calipers at the front and 362×28 mm with 4-piston brake calipers at the rear (all this behind the wheel of BBS – CHR VA 8,5 x19 and 9,5 x19 HA).These characteristics ensure a superb braking and allow the brake calipers cruelly biting the front axle and rear axle disc brakes.

Almost all of the modifications have been made by Wimmer in this blue-green project. Exception is made from the Dunlop Sport Maxx GT 235/35-19 and 265/30-19 tires.

Another one goes for the Cam Shaft Company in Kempen, which has made the complete foiling of the body with blue and green /matte, the left lane on the highway is voluntarily vacated. Foliation price is 2975, – €.
