Chris Harris - Mercedes C63 AMG

Once again I love his videos and there is a really cool breakdown of the new AMG bi-turbo V8 engine

Looks great, but it still blends in very well, some might like that and others wont.

Those new bi-turbo engines are really interesting, i wonder if this one or the Audi one will hold up better and which will have better tuning capabilities. I'll be testing one of those with my right foot...

Seems like it's gonna be a really cool car. Maybe not as harsh as the old C63 but that should help it appeal to a wider range of potential buyers.

590 PS and 602 lb-ft of torque with ECU Upgrade

Very impressive. These cars are going to make some serious power after some other tuners get a hold of them.



From the article:
From showroom floor, the V8 4.0-liter twin-turbo beast of an engine produces 476 PS and 479 lb-ft in the Mercedes C63 and 510 PS and 516 lb-ft in the Mercedes C63 S, but DTE-Systems is willing to raise these figures through a plug & play ECU upgrade benefiting from multi-map technology. After the software upgrade is implemented, the Mercedes AMG engine is puts out 590 PS and 602 lb-ft of torque.

6 pictures and video in the gallery
