Thumbs up Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG by Avus Performance (white and black in harmony)

After a very unfortunate naming/translation incident with their Audi RS6 'White Power', Avus Performance have followed up with two more strong contenders for the tuning market's elusive 'most tasteful' award. Proving they have what it takes to build on - but not screw up - high-performance German machinery, Avus has broadened its scope and taken on the Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG.

The last two examples from Avus were Audi machines, equally reserved and powerful. But the Mercedes C63 AMG adds another measure of flash to the package, as befits the more flamboyant AMG line of vehicles. Starting with such a solid base package makes improvement tough, but Avus has kept its approach simple.

Starting with a range of three power stages - topping out at 585hp (436kW) and 547lb-ft (740Nm) of torque - and adding a reworked front grille, roof, mirror covers, blacked-out logos, and lowering springs the Avus C63AMG offers a clean but convincing upgrade.

Big eight-piston, 380mm brakes shut the potent V8 down when the time is right - an important element in a car capable of 199mph (320km/h). The sounds coming from the rear of the car should be solid as well, with a full stainless system fitted to replace the factory unit.

Pricing and availability haven't been revealed yet.

Not my cup of tea, it looks like your average c class with blacked out grill. The wheels arent special either but the power " I like is nice"- Borat

I hate how they debaged it. I think the car looks 10 times better with the C63 emblem. Plus if you are going to debage the car might as well take of 6.3 emblems from the side.

The blacked out grill made it look cheap it looks like someone stole the grill from a distance, other than that the car looks great.

I hate sedans with dark rear window tint, but no tint on the front windows.

Other than that, its damn sexy.

+1 or at least keep the AMG emblem in black

I think the grille is the sickest part of the car

These cars are pure beast.

Can't think of a car that sounds as good as a 63. There are some great pics of a C63 on mbworld in Tanzanite Metallic (our SGM) with blacked out emblems, grill and wheels that puts this one to shame though.

The stock C63 AMG is much better looking than this. Hate those bicycle wheels over the AMG 5-spokes
Power on the other hand

The stock C63 rollers are 18's


............and look way too small on a car of this caliber and size! Don't get me wrong, the C63 is an amazing car but MB missed the boat by not offering 19 inch wheels standard like the IS-F, M3, RS4 etc.

These wheels are DTM style and look exactly like the wheels on the black series CLK!
