Väth ups the ridiculousness of Mercedes-Benz C63 Black

The Mercedes-Benz C63 Black is ridiculous by definition. It's a car where most of the power goes to the process of evaporating the rear wheels. A hardcore old fashioned muscle-car neatly packaged in a modern euro-box, pumping out 510 horses from an anciently large 6.2 liter engine. It fulfills most of the car enthusiasts' rubber burning fantasies.

Some people won't settle though, and Väth, a German tuning-company, is catering for them..

Apparently the people at Väth found 510 horsepower inadequate and thought rubber needed to be burned even more efficiently.

Their solution? Supercharge the C63 Black and call it V63 Supercharged. The specs are pretty mind-boggling; an insane 756 horsepower, 0-62 in 3.6 seconds (provided you can keep the wheels from vanishing under you) and a top speed of 217mph. Autobahn-credibility granted.

Väth can't be accused of total laziness either, because the V63 Supercharged includes a whole lot more than just the supercharging. With the car you get a fully adjustable suspension, 20-inch alloys on ultra-low profile tires, and most importantly, upgraded brakes to prevent you from having an unwanted acquaintance with a ditch. The optional upgrades-list includes a stainless steel exhaust system, new cats, silencers, exhaust-tips and a whole array of individual interior options.

The price for this delightfully crazy creation is also, along with the rest of the car, a bit high-flying for the rational human being, 130 000-170 000€ depending on the upgrades, but then again a rational human being will be disgusted by the very thing anyways. I bet Clarkson is turned on.
