Wimmer Rennsporttechnik Mercedes-Benz C 63 AMG with 624 horsepower

Wimmer Rennsporttechnik Mercedes-Benz C 63 AMG is an interesting project which deserves some attention. It stays under the guiding principle of AMG’s handmade engineering art and luxury philosophy, and in addition is able to produce the great amount of 624 horsepower (460 kW).

However, before the tuning from Wimmer Rennsporttechnik, the Mercedes-Benz got only 487 hp (358 kW). The professionals from Wimmer achieve this enhancement of power through various means such as the upgrade of the cylinder heads, the sport cam shafts, throttle and the optimization of the intake manifolds.

Furthermore, they have added a larger fuel pump, which additionally works very efficiently. Next, onto the C 63 AMG were added also especially crafted headers from Wimmer and special sport catalysts from HJS Company, as well as sport exhaust system made from stainless steel, again by Wimmer. The wider audience can enjoy the sound of the engine thanks to the 84-mm- wide Y-pipes.

2012 Mercedes-Benz C 63 AMG Coupé Black Series Safety Car is providing the necessary safety for the world’s most popular touring car series. The German Touring Car Masters (DTM) starts on the 29th of April at Hockenheimring.

The vehicle is made in accordance with the DTM rules and is going to be driven by racing driver Jürgen Kastenholz. The car is intended to provide optimal safety for racing drivers, spectators and track marshals if event of dangerous situation occurs.

In fact, this is the most powerful C-Class ever created and next to the spectacular design, includes latest technology enhancements. 2012 C 63 AMG Coupé Black Series features aerodynamically optimised light bar on the roof, energy-efficient, fast-response LEDs in green and orange, which serve to keep the DTM racing drivers informed of the current situation.

In details, the green lights on the front and rear are always active when the car enters the field at the beginning of a Safety Car phase. Continuous green is the signal for all DTM drivers to overtake the Safety Car.

On the other hand the orange color is used when the Safety Car is in position in front of all DTM vehicles. The flashing orange lights indicate that overtaking is absolutely prohibited.

In addition, the stroboscope-like flashing LED lights on the front and rear remain active throughout the Safety Car phase.

The 2012 Mercedes-Benz C 63 AMG Coupé Black Series Safety Car is equipped with the AMG 6.3-litre V8 engine with a maximum output of 380 kW (517 hp) and maximum torque of 620 Nm (458 lb-ft).

Next, the standard-fit AMG rear-axle differential lock with locking effect in acceleration and deceleration mode combines with the 3-stage ESP®. And in cases of extremely short stopping distances the car is equipped with the AMG high-performance braking system.

Moreover, the C 63 AMG Coupé Black Series DTM Safety Car includes AMG Track package, the AMG Aerodynamics package, the AMG Exterior Carbon-Fibre package and forged AMG light-alloy wheels.

First, the AMG Track package features active rear axle gear cooling and sports tyres. The radiator is positioned in front of the diffuser insert in the rear apron to effectively take the air stream.

Additionally, they are fitted on forged AMG wheels which are painted matt black with a high-sheen rim flange.

Secondly, the AMG Aerodynamics package comprises of flics and a functionally designed genuine carbon-fibre front splitter on the front apron, plus a fixed carbon-fibre rear aerofoil with adjustable blade. These components give the vehicle a sharper profile and optimize its aerodynamic balance.

At last, the AMG Exterior Carbon-Fibre package includes exterior mirror housings, the inserts in the side sill panels and a diffuser insert in genuine carbon fibre.

The interior of this Mercedes-Benz sport car is also in harmony with its exterior and corresponds to the series production model. What is new here are the two AMG sports bucket seats, which ensure optimum lateral support for driver and co-driver.

In terms of safety, new four-point seat belts are being utilized. The maximum control is delivered by the AMG Performance steering wheel in nappa leather/DINAMICA with flattened top and bottom rim sections and aluminium gearshift paddles.

Another highlight is the two-way radio system and TV monitor which serve for communication with the race organizers. The camera, which is located next to the rear license plate, provides the co-driver with a view of the DTM cars following the Safety Car.

2012 Brabus Mercedes-Benz C 63 AMG Bullit Coupe 800

The exceptional Brabus Bullit Coupe 800 is a powerful and ultrafast vehicle based on the two-door Mercedes-Benz C 63 AMG model. It will make its’ first appearance at the 2012 Geneva Motor Show, where the public will have the opportunity to take a close look at it. Instead of the 6.3-liter V8 engine, which powers the production car, a twelve-cylinder engine in BRABUS 800 V12 Biturbo specification dwells beneath the matte-black exterior. It delivers the breathtaking 800 hp (788 bhp) / 588 kW and has a peak torque of 1,420 Nm (1,047 lb-ft). This makes possible for the 2012 Brabus Mercedes-Benz C 63 AMG Bullit Coupe 800 to accelerate in 3.7 seconds to 100 km/h (62 mph), and in 23.8 seconds from 0 – 300 km/h (186 mph). The top speed is 370 km/h (230 mph). The supercar is also equipped with 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.

Numerous modifications to the reinforced C-Class body of the Mercedes-Benz C 63 AMG 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. The 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. Intake and outlet ports of both cylinder heads are optimized for mixture flow, and fitted with sports camshafts. The increase of the horsepower was achieved thank to the newly configured exhaust side. In addition, the BRABUS 800 Biturbo system includes two special exhaust manifolds with integrated high-performance turbochargers, and four water-to-air intercoolers. Furthermore, especially for this version was created the stainless-steel high-performance exhaust system with free-flow metal catalysts and driver-controlled butterfly valve. The end result is that the engine now produces 800 PS (788 bhp) / 588 kW at 5,500 rpm and has a peak torque of 1,420 Nm (1,047 lb-ft), which of course is electronically limited in the car to 1,100 Nm (811 lb-ft). In the car is also mounted a seven-speed automatic transmission, which is shifted either automatically or manually via shift paddles on the steering wheel. Therefore, it is no surprise that the acceleration time of the car from 0-100 km/h (62 mph) is just in 3.7 seconds. The top speed is more than 370 km/h (230 mph).

2012 Brabus Mercedes-Benz C 63 AMG Bullit Coupe 800

The extraordinary looks of the BRABUS BULLIT Coupe 800 is accompanied by the new BRABUS Monoblock R wheels. Their design includes 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. They come in sizes of 8.5Jx20 in front and 9.5Jx20. In addition, the high-performance tires are in sizes 235/30 ZR 20 and 275/25 ZR 20 and are supplied Pirelli.

Furthermore, the BRABUS high-performance brake system comprises 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. They are combined with vented and grooved steel discs (360 x 28 millimeters (14.2 x 1.1 in.)) and six-piston fixed aluminum calipers on the rear axle.

The interior in the cockpit of the Brabus Bullit Coupe 800 is sporty and exquisite. The upholstery is a combination of black leather and Alcantara, which of course matches the outer skin. Red contrasting seams add discrete sporty highlights. The final look is made by the genuine carbon-fiber components on the dashboard, center console and door trim. The steering wheel as well as aluminum pedals and shifter also add to the sporty look of the car.
