In addition to that, the exterior gets light-alloy wheels featuring AMG six-twin-spoke styling, a special front and rear apron, and side sill panels.

Mercedes E63 AMG by VATH
When it comes to high performance factory tuned machines like the Mercedes Benz E63 AMG, there isn’t much in the way of improvements that the manufacturer hasn’t already included. However as is the word of tuning where there is never such thing as enough, the aftermarket manufacturer VATH Automobiltechnik has taken the fire breathing four door super sport sedan and turned it into a flame spitting power house with even more aggressive bodywork then before. The exterior package for the top of the line E-Class includes a few down force inducing items like a carbon fiber front lip, subtle rear spoiler on the trunk lid and even more carbon fiber for the diffuser. At the same time rolling stock is upgraded to a set of 20 inch three piece forged alloys that hug the wheel wells thanks to a new airmatic suspension. As far as power is concerned, VATH has reworked the hand built 6.2 Liter V8 with an assortment of race proven parts in order to bump the car’s output up to 605 HP and 509 lb-ft of torque, as a result the VATH tuned E63 can sprint from 0 to 60 MPH in only 4.1 seconds and reach a 211 MPH top speed.
