Tuned Mercedes-AMG C63 S has 674 HP
CarBahn's C63 GTS features a tuned V8 engine that delivers up to 674 horsepower and 666 pound-feet of torque. It's most impressive feature is its ability to deliver exemplary speed while remaining precise and comfortable to drive.
Close to Perfect
In addition to our own Jake Stumph who recently reviewed this tuned AMG monster, The Drive's senior editor, Jonathon Klein, also got a chance to drive the Mercedes-AMG C63 GTS that was tuned by CarBahn Autoworks. What "caught his eye" driving this freshly tuned car was how close to perfect it was while negotiating corners. It stuck to the ground throughout the drive without any hint of drama.

Modest Power Boost
At the heart of this CarBahn-tuned C63 GTS is a slightly upgraded twin-turbo 4.0-liter V8 that produces 674 horsepower and 666 pound-feet of torque. This is a substantial increase from the factory-delivered 503 horsepower and 516 pound-feet of torque. The extra propulsion can be felt once the throttle is pushed near its limit and the power is quite manageable.

The Sensation
To a speed enthusiast, CarBahn's C63 GTS delivers exactly what it claims. Its capabilities are unveiled in the harshest of environments. Klein had the opportunity to drive it along the inner valleys of Angeles Crest Highway. The car shouted and wiggled in its own unique way, presenting evidence that it was clearly in charge. The experience was pure emotion as the sensation of speed got delivered right into the Alcantara-lined cockpit.
