Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG Performance Package Plus
The new super sedan from Daimler gets a 30-horsepower injection over the standard AMG model, pushing the pony count all the way to 487.
Modifications to the 6.3-liter V8 engine include new forged alloy pistons borrowed from the SLS AMG supercar and a new set of crank rods coupled with a lightweight crankshaft. A titanium-colored intake manifold and recalibrated computer module complete the package. Performance? How about zero to 100 in just 4.4 seconds.
An upgraded brake package with composite rotors(Ceramic/Carbon) and red caliper is included to help the driver reign in all that speed.
Exterior modifications are limited to a carbon fiber spoiler for the sedan, and the interior is upgraded with an AMG steering wheel in nappa leather and seats swathed in Alcantara.
Sales are scheduled to start in Europe before the end of the year.
以造福C63車友
擁有史上最強C-Class稱號,於2007年7月份首度曝光的C63 AMG在幾年銷售以來依然是M-BENZ品牌的性能前鋒,而在各大歐系改裝廠已經推出不只一輪的性能套件之後,日前M-BENZ原廠也針對這輛性能代表車款推出了原廠的性能強化套件〝Performance Package Plus〞,售價依照Sedan與Wagon車型不同分為6424與7080歐元(約合新台幣31.2與34.4萬元)。
Performance Package Plus套件在引擎部分提供與SLS AMG相同的全新鍛造活塞與輕量化曲軸,搭配新連桿與新的引擎控制系統,讓6.3L V8引擎最大馬力從原本的457hp提升至E55 AMG等級的487hp,峰值扭力也提升至足以與PORSCHE 911 Turbo、NISSAN GT-R與C-Class DTM 賽車匹敵的61.18kgm∕5000rpm;反映在0-100km/h加速表現上為4.4秒(Wagon車型4.5秒),0-200km/h加速為13.9秒,極速則是依然在電子速限的控制下為250km/h。
而空力套件的設計,Performance Package Plus套件當然是由AMG負責,除了碳纖維擾流板與Sedan車型的碳纖維尾箱門輔助翼之外,AMG也提供高性能煞車系統套件與AMG Nappa皮格方向盤,並且在門飾板、中控台飾板與中央扶手的部分提供軟質Alcantara麂皮與黑色designo皮革作為選配(2856歐元),雖然同為AMG出品,但相信在兩年之後的Performance Package Plus套件會有更為細緻的質感。
