Hot on the heels of RENNTech’s announcment, Brabus has given us their Brabus B63 S tuning package to compete with the RENNtech version. So what have the Brabus folks bestowed upon us? It’s not quite RENNtech output, but by adding free-flow catalytic converters, high-flow air filters and tweaking the ECU with their new ignition and injection maps, Brabus bumps the 6.2-liter V8 from 457 HP to 530 HP, and sends the torque from 442 to 479 lb-ft and gives you enough to propel the newly tuned beast to a top speed of 197 MPH.
And if by some chance that isn’t enough, Brabus also offers a selection of limited slip differentials to satisfy the most discerning tuning connoisseur; match one up with a similarly varied selection of multi-piston brake upgrades to achieve your desired level of “daaamn.” Full release after the jump.

The horsepower wizards over at RENNtech have focused their wrenches on the already potent Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG to create what they consider to be a fitting heir to the Mercedes 6.3, appropriate given the name and the fact that latest C-Class has grown nearly to the size of that legendary sedan. To achieve this proper Überness, they’ve released the 6.2 AMG V8 from the grips of unnecessary restriction and managed to squeeze out nearly 100 additional horsepower. The sleek sedan achieves up to 548 HP and 510 lb-ft of torque thanks to new engine management, long-tube headers and new pipes. To handle all of that extra power you might want to opt for the new RENNtech brake kit and, just to be safe, throw in the height control suspension system for some up and down goodness and you have yourself one mean machine. Full details in the release below the jump.

Mercedes C63 AMG Review – video powered by Metacafe
For those of you still deciding whether or not the new Mercedes Benz C63 AMG is king of the hill over the BMW M3 for the high performance sport sedan segment, one lucky man, Vincent, over at Autoblog.nl, posted a video review of the latest Mercedes’ performance arm AMG has to offer.Needless to say, the results are beyond impressive. Watch the video, especially around the five minute mark, and you’ll see what I’m talking about. But be forewarned: that C350 Sport (or BMW M3) you’re considering will look a bit less appealing.
Watch the C63AMG video review in all its glory, sit back and enjoy.
