German tuner Väth has unveiled a tuning and styling package called V18K for the Mercedes-Benz C200. It's not an overboard package as one might find from other tuners but rather something mild yet spicy. Väth increased the C200's standard 184hp (135kW) to 215hp (158kW). Because of that top speed goes up to 149mph (240km/h).

Styling changes are in black 18-inch wheels, a black radiator grille, a new front apron, a rear spoiler and a stainless steel exhaust system. The suspension has been tweaked to ride 45mm lower up front and 35mm lower at the rear.

Pricing starts from €1,773 just to tune the engine while styling prices depend on which pieces each customer desires.

That's what the market needs more of.

Something that people are actually willing AND able to put on their cars.

Looks great IMO in terms of ingenuity and design.

Hi, I actually drove this car last week I had it for a week while my C63 was tuned. Ofcourse there is a great difference between the two cars but I must say that the V20K is a great car especially if you are looking for a good car to travel with.
