German tuner Väth is slowly gaining a reputation for kits that are somewhat over the top. At this point the company introduces the new Mercedes-Benz C 63 AMG Estate-based Väth V63RS Clubsport wagon. It follows on the V63RS Clubsport sedan that was announced just over a year ago.

There we see a power increase from the stock 451hp (332kW) and 600Nm (443 lb ft) of torque to a Väth-certified 585hp (430kW) and 690Nm (509 lb ft) of torque. The car is fitted with a limited slip differential that has a 60 percent locking rate. Good thing too because the C63 AMG has a knack for losing grip during quick take-off. These changes will help the V63RS achieve a top end of 202mph (325km/h).

A sport suspension has been incorporated and high performance brakes fitted. The wheels are 20-inches wide and keep the car firmly planted on the road. The rear end has a carbon fiber diffuser.

Väth also promises goodies like a TV/ DVD unit "and whatever else your heart desires."

VÄTH V63RS - Power-C-Klasse CLUBSPORT wagon

Although it does little the improve upon the already stellar looks of the standard C63 AMG wagon, in the area of power, horses are plentiful. There's 585, in fact. As for our friend Newton, there's plenty of him as well, with 690 Nm of torque all awaiting your eager right foot. Together, they'll propel you to a top speed of some 202 mph, while a limited slip differential with a 60 percent locking rate ensures optimum power transfer to the road. To increase handling, a new sport suspension system has been incorporated into the V63RS, as has a high performance brake system and new 20-inch wheels (9x20 and 10,5x20, 245/30 and 285/25).
