Mercedes C63 AMG Performance Package Plus

The Performance Package Plus on the Mercedes C63 AMG

Mercedes has revealed the ‘Performance Package Plus’ for the C63. The stock 6.2 litre V8 has had a bit of SLS magic sprinkled on it and gets forged pistons, a lightweight crankshaft and new connecting rods. The ECU also gets a tweak or three. The result of these changes is an extra 30bhp (up from 457bhp to 487nhp), a drop in the 0-60 dash to 4.2 seconds and torque of 443lbs/ft.

Beyond the oily bits Mercedes has thrown in a carbon fibre spoiler at the back, a nice new steering wheel and a beefed-up set of brakes. You can also opt (for an extra £2.5k) for Black Designo leather which covers the dash and doors in the soft leather.

Price for the Performance Plus Package is £6k for the saloon and £5.5k on the estate.
