Stuttgart, Oct 26 (THAINDIAN NEWS) Mercedes Benz has announced a better version of the SLS AMG. Mercedes has announced the availability of a new Performance Package Plus, which aims to make the model even more appealing and powerful in nature.

According to the official Mercedes release, “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/457 hp 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/487 hp is due to the AMG 6.3-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 crank shaft translate into a weight saving of three kilograms. Reduced inertia boosts the agility and responsiveness of the updated V8 engine, which is recognizable from the variable intake manifold painted in titanium grey. New engine management completes the power train measures in the Performance Package Plus for the C 63 AMG.”

It also added that,”A further identifying feature of the Performance Package Plus is the AMG carbon fiber spoiler lip on the boot lid (saloon). In the interior, 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.”
