Stockach-based tuning house, Kicherer, has just released details of its C63 T Supersport program for the C 63 AMG Estate. The C63T Supersport package sees the 6.2 L V8 powerplant receive an ECU tweak and stainless steel sports exhaust, resulting in 403 Kw (540 hp) and 640 Nm (472 lb-ft) of torque – up from 336 kW (457 hp) and 600 Nm (443 lb-ft). The 0-100 km/h time drops from 4.5 to 4.2 seconds, while the limiter is removed to allow a top speed of 320 km/h (199 mph).

There’s also an adjustable PowerConverter for the accelerator, which eliminates the delay that can be expercienced in electronic fly-by-wire pedal systems.

Visually, Kicherer adds its aero kit – which is constructed from carbon fibre, consisting of a front skirt with integrated flaps, replacement grille, sill extensions, mirror covers and diffuser. The wheels are Kicherer’s three-piece RS-1 items in a 20-inch diameter.

Inside, the high-speed Estate is treated to an Alcantara rooflining and dashboard, with the seats coated in nappa leather, with contrasting piano varnished shells.
