Enhanced driving dynamics ex-factory for the Mercedes-Benz C 63 AMG:
the new Performance Package Plus is an attractive optional extra that is designed to appeal to the power-hungry sports
driver. The Performance Package Plus increases output by 22 kW to 358 kW. The Performance Package Plus is available
for both the saloon and estate models and includes an AMG high-performance braking system featuring composite
technology on the front axle, a carbon fibre spoiler lip (saloon only) and an AMG performance steering wheel in nappa
leather/Alcantara.
With the Performance Package Plus, the C 63 AMG accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 4.4 seconds and 0 to 200 km/h in
13.9 seconds. This beats the 336 kW standard model by up to 1.2 seconds (0–100 km/h: 4.5 seconds; 0–200 km/h: 15.2
seconds). The top speed is 250 km/h (electronically limited).
The improvement in power output to 358 kW is due to the AMG 6.2 litre V8 engine's modified engine compartment: the
forged pistons adopted from the new SLS AMG super sports car together with new connecting rods and a lightweight
crankshaft translates into a weight saving of three kilogrammes. Reduced inertia boosts the agility and responsiveness
of the engine, which is recognisable from the variable intake manifold painted in titanium grey. New engine management
completes the powertrain measures in the Performance Package Plus for the C 63 AMG.

AMG high-performance braking system featuring composite technology
The Performance Package Plus braking system has been adapted to the enhanced driving dynamics. A new AMG
high-performance braking system ensures greater stability when driving dynamically, with compound brake
discs on the front axle and red painted brake callipers all round showing the AMG logo. The brake discs
feature a composite design and are connected to an aluminium bowl to avoid temperature peaks. The connection
between the disc and bowl is new: instead of the usual screw connection, the aluminium bowl is now connected
to the brake disc via cast-in arms. The advantage is more homogenous temperature distribution on the brake
disc.
A further identifying feature of the Performance Package Plus is the AMG carbon fibre spoiler lip on the
boot lid (saloon). Inside, the AMG performance steering wheel in nappa leather with a grip area trimmed in
Alcantara feels good, while at the same time making a striking visual impact.
The new AMG Performance Package Plus is available for the Mercedes-Benz C 63 AMG saloon and estate models
and can be ordered now.
