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.

Tuner company G-Power is no stranger to BMW’s. Having success with tuning the BMW M5’s, by twin-supercharging the V10, G-Power was able to produce nearly 50% more power than the stock M5, and giving it a top speed of 211 mph. Stats which G-Power claims to be faster than any other street legal Bimmer.
Since the BMW M6 packs the same 5.0-liter V10, it was only a matter of time before BMW buyers could look forward to receiving the same treatment… Well wait no more! Introducing the G-Power M6 Hurricane! While the twin blowers are set for lower boost, only 6 psi compared to the M5’s 10 psi, the M6 still produces an impressive 635 bhp @ 7300 rpm and 469 lb-ft torque @ 6300 rpm. Making the G-Power Hurricane good for a 4.5 second sprint to 60 mph and a top speed of nearly 200 mph.
Of course, with those figures, one can’t forget appearance matter. G-Power also provides a new front and rear fascia, rocker panels, and carbon fiber rear diffuser along with 21-inch wheels that make room for a 15-inch brake system up front. Since the BMW M6 has been out for a while already, current M6 owners can drop off their car at G-Power’s German headquarters besides just ordering a fully assembled car starting for a mere 183,000 Euros.
Full details can be found in the press release after the jump.
