Kicherer has unveiled the new C 63 Supersport.
Based on the Mercedes C 63 AMG, the Supersport features carbon fiber pieces added to the grille, front bumper, mirrors, and engine cover. Other styling updates include aggressive side sills, LED daytime driving lights, and a carbon fiber rear diffuser.
Inside, the cabin receives minor updates in the form of new floormats and an ergonomic sports steering wheel with carbon fiber inserts.
Under the hood, Kicherer removes the "senseless" electronic limiters which allow the engine to produce 550 PS and 630 Nm of torque. More importantly, the company adds an adjustable coil over suspension and a high performance limited slip differential.
To keep the car glued to the road, Kicherer equips Supersport with 20-inch RS-1 forged wheels (that measure 245 front and 275 rear) and an advanced Brembo braking system.
Kicherer Mercedes C-Class: Superleague!
For many years Kicherer has been in the absolute top class of Mercedes tuners and with its own? Supersport Performance Paket" for the C63 AMG the tuners from Stockach have made their position even more secure. Developed for the sports-minded driver Kicherer guarantees the sheer pleasure of sports driving along with the highest level of comfort!
Carbon Paradise!
As to be expected Kicherer doesn't solely focus on tuning but rather on discrete changes which not only look good but also possess aerodynamic functions. Thus the chassis was refined in every sense of the word as one wasn't not stingy with the sinfully expensive carbon fibre here, in fact just the opposite was the case. The tuners from Stockach gave the C63 AMG a carbon grill at the front as well as a front skirt with integrated carbon flaps and LED daylight driving lights. From the side the expanded rear wings of handmade metal, the carbon mirror covers as well as the new sideskirt with integrated carbon tubes are easily recognised. The rear was given a diffuser also made of carbon.
A few more PS than in the standard version can now be found working under the bonnet of the Kicherer C63 Supersport then thanks to improved engine electronics the C63 AMG powerhouse can provide around 550 PS and a maximum torque of 630 Nm. The removal of the senseless Vmax-block was in this instance a matter of honour. The engine itself received a cover with carbon fibre inlays. So that the performance could be perfectly brought to the asphalt surface the technicians installed a high performance limited slip differential with adjustable hardness and a variable barrier effect as well as a high performance adjustable coil over. Under the wheel arches revolve 20 inch large RS-1 forged wheels with 245 tyres at the front and 275 tyres at the rear. And with over 550 PS you naturally need appropriate deceleration and for this reason Kicherer resorted to a Brembo braking system including flexible steel cables.
For the interior of the C63 AMG the Mercedes specialist offers an ergonomic sports steering wheel in leather and carbon along with a footmat set with real leather trim.
Conclusion: Top class tuning in its purest form!
