V8 Nostalgia. Manhart Works on the Former Mercedes-AMG C 63

Extensive long gone is the V8 M177 electric power plant from underneath the hood of the Mercedes-AMG C 63. The new overall performance sedan bought the 2.-liter turbo motor rather, with a hybrid setup that can make it speedier and more powerful than ever before. But it appears to be that Manhart is even now longing for that V8.

The German tuner is generating the V8-driven C 63 go down with a bang. They now get in touch with it the CR 700 Last Version and the title says it all. Well, virtually all, simply because it is not 700 PS (690 HP) they put in, but a bit much more. An up grade on the turbochargers and intercoolers took it all the way to 712 PS (702 HP) and 920 Nm (678 lb-ft) from the conventional 510 PS (503 HP) and 700 Nm (516 lb-ft) of torque.

This is how it finishes up managing from 100 km/h (62 mph) to 200 km/h (124 mph) in 5.5 seconds. No phrase on the figures with regards to the to 100 km/h dash however. Which is probably for the foreseeable future entrepreneurs to see for by themselves.

Manhart created some tweaks and tricks on the exhaust technique as well, making area for the Race and Sport downpipe, offered for marketplaces outside Germany only. Ja, ja, ja, the Germans are stricter in phrases of sound restrictions. The braking technique remains inventory, but the tuner can present personalized options to clients.

The vehicle wears a black livery with gold stripes that split the hood, roof, and boot lid into two asymmetrical parts. The gold stripes match the gold black calipers of the wheels that sport a darkish matte end. The identical finish displays up on the radiator grille with vertical slats. The chrome information have vanished and gold kinds confirmed up in its place.

If it may glance acquainted, you’re not absolutely completely wrong. Back in December 2021, Manhart employed the precise similar “make up” for the estate model.

We completely understand the nostalgia. Inspite of the more power of the new hybrid Mercedes-AMG C 63, the 2.-liter turbocharged motor cannot even come shut to the soundtrack of the V8.
