McChip-DKR Tuning Package for the Old Mercedes-AMG C63 is Worth More Than the CLS
Giancarlo Perlas June 20, 2018
McChip-DKR is offering a tuning package for the previous generation of the Mercedes-AMG C63 that boosts its overall power to 818 hp and 820 Nm of torque. However, the cost of the work alone will set you back at €92,999 or $109,452. Just to make it clear, the price is only for the tuning package and it does not include a donor car.
A Lot of Boost for the C63 Engine
As a recap, the new Mercedes-AMG CLS 53 4MATIC+ costs €84,764 or $99,760 in Germany. So, what makes the 818 hp McChip-DKR tuning package more expensive than that?
The steep tuning package adds 368 hp and 220 Nm of torque to the original output of the C63. Then, it raises the top speed of the car to 320 km/h. The increase in power is made possible by the tuner’s supercharger kit, top-of-the-line exhaust system, and other performance-enhancing components.
Other Stages of the C63 McChip-DKR Tuning Kit
The next in line is the tuning package of McChip-DKR that’s worth €52,229 or $61,469. That’s nearly the cost of the new Mercedes-Benz E-Class Cabriolet. On the bright side, it brings up the total output of the C63 to 751 hp and 810 Nm of torque. Another option is the tuning kit with 651 hp and 750 Nm of torque for €25,999 or $30,599.
If the prices mentioned earlier seem unreasonable, the Stage 3 tuning that turns the C63’s overall output to 575 hp and 692 Nm of torque is priced at €9,998 or $11,767. The Stage 2 tuning that spikes up the C63’s power to 562 hp and 688 Nm of torque costs €5,832 or $6,864.
The cheapest of the bunch is the Stage 1 kit, which makes the C63 produce 503 hp and 640 Nm of torque, is only €1,099 or $1,293. The package includes taking up the max speed of the car to 300 km/h.
