The facelifted Mercedes-Benz E500 has been the subject of an aftermarket upgrade courtesy of VATH.

They took the rear-wheel drive version and worked on the V8 4.7-liter turbocharged gasoline engine to bump its output from the series 408 PS (300 kW) and 600 Nm (443 lb-ft) to 550 PS (404 kW) and a massive 830 Nm (613 lb-ft) of torque. The additional oomph costs €10,591 and enables the high-performance mid-size sedan to hit a top speed of 186 mph (300 km/h).

For more money, clients can opt for a €4,629 stainless steel exhaust system with quad oval pipes while a carbon rear diffuser with fins and underbody extension costs €2,011. Custom dampers are an extra €1,166 and customers can also add custom brakes with 390mm discs and 6-piston calipers on the front axle for €5,355.

This particular car rides on VATH’s 20-inch forged wheels wrapped around in 255/30 R20 front and 295/25 R20 rear tires. As a final touch, the tuner has added a carbon trunk spoiler lip available for €1,761.

Photos of the interior cabin have not been released but the tuner says they are offering aluminum pedals, a sportier steering wheel, carbon fiber trim and Alcantara headlining.

The modifications will set you back roughly $40,450 – excluding VAT.

We’ve seen their SLS AMG Coupe before and now it’s time to present their Mercedes SLS AMG Roadster. German tuner Väth Automobiltechnik fitted the SLS AMG Roadster with a supercharger that has an air box to increase power output from the SLS AMG 6.2 liter V8 engine. The roadster also received an ECU tune which increases the Vmax as well. The engine now puts out a whopping 702hp and 850Nm of torque for a 0-100km/h sprint time of a mere 3.6 seconds and a top speed of 330km/h.

More efficient fuel cooling and an enlarged gear box oil cooler have also been added to the Roadster in addition to the brakes which have been changed for a set of high performance brake discs measuring 405mm and with steel flax lines. A stainless steel exhaust system with throttle control is an extra options or, as an alternative, there is also a stainless steel exhaust system with sports catalyst.

The wheels are three-part forged Väth designs measuring 9.5×20 inches at the front with 265/30-20 tires and 12×20 inches at the rear with 315/25-20 tires. Väth also developed a new suspension option with threaded sports springs available for cars with AMG Ride Control.

Aeroynamc adjustments by Vath include a bodykit featuring a front spoiler, boot spoiler, side skirts and extra brake ventilation, all constructed from high quality naked carbon fiber. For the interior, the SLS AMG gets an updated sporty steering wheel with plenty of interior options also available with materials ranging from leather, carbon fiber and fine woods! A new speedometer has also been fitted to show up to 400km/h.

The total cost for the package is 85,130 euro inclusive of VAT. Individual parts are available upon request.

Väth Automobiltechnik, from Hoesbach, Germany, is known for their outstanding work on some of the finest Mercedes-Benz models available.  Recently, we’ve seen their work on the C63 AMG, SLK350 and the CL63 AMG from last year.  Today, Vath unveiled their latest project, but instead of working on one of Mercedes’ latest and greatest, they restored a true Mercedes Classic.   A 1968 Mercedes-Benz 300 SEL 6.3, an outstanding example of a classic Mercedes, that now thanks to VATH, looks fresh off the assembly line. Vath restored a portion of the body as well the interior, with the most work going into restoring the entire engine and axles.

Built between 1968 to 1972 the Mercedes-Benz 300 SEL 6.3 featured the M100 6.3-liter V8 engine that produced 250 PS (247 hp / 184 kW) and 510 Nm (376 lb-ft) of torque. Zero to 100 km/h was achieved in 6.5 seconds with a top speed of 220 km/h (137 mph).

If this car looks familiar, you may be thinking of the car driven by Hans Heyer.  His AMG racing saloon was technically based on the Mercedes-Benz 300 SEL 6.3. With an engine output of 184 kW (250 hp) at 4000 rpm and a top speed of 220 km/h, this luxury saloon was Germany’s fastest regular production car at the time. It was not only an enlarged displacement from 6330 to 6835 cc that increased the output to 315 kW (428 hp) at 5500 rpm, and torque from 500 to 608 newton metres.

With 510 HP, the C63 AMG Black Series is a nearly perfect car, blending an already powerful engine with a flawless body.  If that is not enough, Hösbach tuner Vath supercharged the 6.2-litre V8 that already runs 0-60mph time is 4.2sec and top speed 186mph and added 246 horses.  The Vath version of the C63 AMG Black Series now runs 0-62 in just 3.6 seconds and tops speeds of 217mph.

Still searching for more for your Black Series, Vath offers a stainless steel exhaust system, sport rear silencer, updated suspension system that lowers the car by 20 – 65 mm and last but not least a set of new 20-inch wheels.

The Mercedes-Benz specialists at Vath revealed their latest aftermarket program for the new generation Mercedes-Benz SLK this week. The Mercedes SLK by Vath is based on the R172 SLK 350 model, that is powered by a 3.5-liter engine. Thanks to a remapped ECU, the new Vath SLK takes the 302 HP and 273 lb-ft of Torque and ups it to 330 hp and 288 lb-ft of torque propelling the already zippy roadster to a top speed of 269 km/h (167 mph).

Additional upgrades from Vath include updated brakes, bespoke stainless steel exhaust system, new 20-inch wheels and an adjustable suspensions system. The ride height of Vath’s Mercedes SLK can be lowered from 20 mm to 65 mm. The body kit includes a carbon fiber front spoiler lip and a boot lid spoiler but Vath did little to change the aerodynamics of the SLK. As for the interior of the 2012 Mercedes-Benz SLK, Vath offers several carbon fiber trim elements. So what is the price for this tuning beauty?  The SLK Vath tuning program will set you back a mere 25,192 EUR or $33k at today’s conversion.

Väth Automobiltechnik from Hoesbach, Germany has created the V63 Supercharged, based on the Mercedes C63 AMG Coupe. The end result is an inconspicuous beast of a car that puts out 680 PS (670 bhp / 500 kW), 840 Nm (620 lb-ft) of torque for a mere EUR 64,308 over the base cost of the C63 AMG Coupe.  The standard Mercedes C63 AMG Coupe puts out 487 PS (358 kW / 480 hp) and 600 Nm (443 lb-ft) of torque, meaning the update gives you an extra 197PS and 240 Nm (177 lb-ft). A sprint from 0-100 km/h will only take you 4.0 seconds and top speeds end at 335 km/h (208 mph). Such high speeds are achieved thanks to a water cooled supercharger, revised engine management, oil coolers on the engine and trans plus high-flow catalytic converters, new headers and stainless steel exhaust.

To improve aerodynamics, the V63 Supercharged Väth has a front spoiler and rear diffuser with enlarged fins that are both crafted in visible carbon fiber. Quarter panel wheel well extensions allow widening the track by 80mm and a boot lid spoiler completes the exterior package.

VÄTH’s three-spoke 9×20 inch forged rims with 255/30-20 tires ride on the front of the V63 and 11×20 inch rims with  295/25-20 tires are at the rear. The C63 AMG Coupe has a coilover suspension allowing a 20-65 mm drop in ride height while stiffness is also adjustable.

On the inside, there’s a leather upholstered sports steering wheel, a 360 km/h speedometer dial and carbon trimmed interior.

Bavarian tuner Väth Automobiltechnik from Hösbach,Germany released their program for the Mercedes-Benz CL63 AMG V8 BITURBO, C216, today.

A V63S tuning kit featuring an electronic engine management system is the source for the increase in power as well as the increased maximum speed. The improvements are seen in the following data – 463 kW / 630 HP, 930 Nm maximum torque, and an acceleration from 0 to 62 mph in 4.3 seconds and a top speed of 186 mph. For the eco conscious, the emission level has been reduced by a device made of stainless steel and Sport-Kat.

In an effort by Väth to optimize the brakes, the tubes of fuel inlet are made of curved steel in which the brake fluid Castrol SRF circulates.. Väth also offers wheels sizing 9×20 inch in the front and 10.5×20 inch in the rear with 255/35ZR20 tires or 275/35ZR20. A factory made ABC (Active-Body-Control) chassis is located deeper and is more comfortable in the first and second gear of the damper and in third gear, they are tightly regulated for improved agility.

Last but not least, the Mercedes-Benz CL 63 AMG V8 Biturbo features a carbon fiber radiator cover, carbon fiber mirrors caps and the rear diffuser, as well as a trunk spoiler that can be ordered in carbon fiber. For the interior, Väth added a sports steering wheel that is combined with either leather, carbon or precious wood trim.

The motto “Give Your Car Wings” is already anticipated by the vehicle manufacturers , but it does not prevent the company VÄTH Automotive from Bavarian Aschaffenburg near Hösbach from eliciting the wings for more power.

With the engine electronics optimization and in-house high-performance exhaust system, the tuning kit from V63S VÄTH achieves the peak performance of 615 hp and 680 Nm at 5800 rpm. Here, the newly programmed engine management with custom ignition and injection characteristics delivers power to achieve the top speed of 330 km/h. The sprint from zero to 100 km/h is completed in just 3.6 seconds.

The VÄTH high-performance exhaust system has a special extra pneumatic valve system with manual control in the cockpit. This allows you to adjust the tone of the 6.3-liter eight-cylinder “on-the-fly” between pleasantly quiet or sporting pithy.

This power is required for VÄTH SLS high-performance brake system which has increased the loads. Slotted rotors with matching high-performance brake pads and steel flex lines of VÄTH ensure that deceleration of the supercar brings it to a stop quickly.

For efficient translation of the performance and driving dynamics to the asphalt, VÄTH three-part forged rims in the dimensions of 9,5J x 20 at the front and 11,5J x 20 at the rear were installed. The weight of the wheel pairs is different due to large wheels of non-standard dimensions and is born by the tires in dimensions of 265/30ZR20 at the front and 315/25ZR20 at the rear. The spiders are painted in titanium color, but can be painted in any color at your option.

The VÄTH Comfort Suspension provides visual and driving dynamics benefits from lowering by 25 millimeters. This allows VÄTH SLS to provide the optimal and safe driving and comfort on the road.

For very high speeds which the VÄTH SLS will often gain on the road, there is VÄTH aerodynamic package fully developed from carbon fiber composite, which greatly improves the stability and traction, and has a discreet and stylish look. This includes an integrated front lip spoiler, which increases the downforce on the front axle at high speeds. To achieve the optimum balance of pressure between the front and the rear, the latter represents VÄTH boot spoiler fitted with trailing edge. The side skirts also improve the brake ducts on the rear axle.

The interior had to go through certain procedures. The engineered leather sport steering wheel can also be provided upon request with carbon or wood applications. The speedometer was generously extended to 400 mph. The black floor mats from the high quality and durable material have silver VÄTH logos. Furthermore, door trimming with special leather is possible.

The complete reconstruction costs 32,670 Euro.

Engine preparation is the daily bread of the VÄTH Hösbach Company from Aschaffenburg. This time it was a black Mercedes-Benz CL 500. After the conversion, the 5.5-liter engine uses sport camshafts, stainless steel sport catalysts and air filters, so there are 460 HP and 600 Nm of torque available now.

The fine tuning of the engine electronics also includes Vmax increase up to 290 km/h, that’s why it is important to turn attention to tires! In addition, stainless steel manifolds, catalytic converters and stainless steel rear silencer were used. The improved sound effect also underscores the sporty appearance and has a positive impact on the natural characteristics of this super sports car. A fuel cooler increases efficiency and at the same time reduces fuel consumption and lowers material stress. The engine oil cooler is used for special motors, a matter of course for VÄTH.

The black Benz stands on three-part VÄTH 20-inch forged wheels with 245/30ZR20 tires at the front and 285/25ZR20 – at the rear axle. It has a three-way adjustable sports suspension and a braking system designed for maximum performance even in this case of special priority. The stability and security for high cornering speeds do not compromise comfort.

The front spoiler lips, the rear diffuser and the trunk-lip spoiler are made of high quality visual carbon.

For the adequate refinement of the interior, carbon fiber parts with perfect fit and high processing precision in either classic black or even multi-colored carbon were used. The metamorphosis of the interior is available with sport steering wheel in several variants, a rounded down to 360 km/h speedometer and black suede bottom with silver embroidered logo.

Information on the respective prices of the individual stages can be provided by the VÄTH Company at any time, but is also available for download as a PDF-file.

For three centuries, VÄTH has been tuning vehicles under the motto “Good optimising” and they have proved once again why they are one of the best with their latest tuning kit for the Mercedes-Benz C-Class, specifically the C250 CGI. With the V25 tuning kit, the performance of the original 204 HP engine with an unchanged hub room size of 1 796 cm³ has been increased using motor technology to 255 HP (188 kW) and 370 Nm torque. This translates to a new maximum speed of 260km/h, which should in no way be underestimated.

In combination with the VÄTH charged air cooler and the VÄTH sports exhaust system, the C-Class can reach 270 HP!

In addition to the motor-technical improvements, the external appearance of the C-class is part of the obligatory program at VÄTH. The C-Class presented here has been upgraded with special modifications to the coveted C63 AMG optic:

• Tuned aerodynamically and visually with the VÄTH Carbon Motor bonnet
• Carbon Front Spoiler Lip
• Rear Diffsor made from carbon
• Trunk Spoiler.

Car lowering and a great set of wheels perfect the sporty silhouette.

These are weight-optimised tailored rims 8.5×19 inches in size at the front and 9.5×19 inches at the bank, covered with 235/35ZR19 and 265/30ZR19. The brake system has been adjusted to the new additions to be able to bring the vehicle to a stop much in much less time: 360 mm braking discs with 6 piston fixed gauges at the front and 320 mm braking discs with 4 piston fixed gauges at the back do their job reliably under any circumstances.

A complete running gear worthy of a racecourse has also been built in and has height and strength adjustible buffers as well as progressively harmonised springs so that the car drives comfortably on the one hand but still extremely precisely on the road.

On the inside, carbon can again be found in combination with an Alcantara roof interior lining.

You may think the Mercedes G55 AMG in and of itself boasts enough power to satisfy the demands of the average power-hungry consumer, and you’d be right.  Straight from the factory, the G55 AMG boasts 373 kW/507 hp, a maximum torque of 700 Nm, a zero to 62 mph time of 5.5 seconds and an electronically limited top speed of 130 mph.  Fast by any standards; but in an SUV, especially the G-Class, very fast.  But there’s always those that want more, and for this group, there’s Vath.  They’ve opted to tune the model to an even more extreme level, bumping power to 680 hp and torque to 840 Nm.  The result is a newly improved top speed of “wow should I really be going this fast in a G-Class?” 165 mph.

So how’d they make the magic happen?  Under the hood, changes include a new intake manifold, a complete outlet system, coolers, and a patented Vath fuel cooler.  Adding a touch of sportiness to the G55, a new front bonnet, a front spoiler with enlarged air intakes, LED daylight lamps, and sport exhaust system were added, as was a new lowered suspension system and 22″ rims.  Inside, carbon and Alacantara accents remind the pilot that this isn’t an oridnary G55 AMG, while a sport braking system with 390mm disks rounds out the list of modifications.

I personally value my life and will stick to the more than sufficient factory Mercedes G55 AMG.  But for those of you living life on the edge, photos and the Vath G55 AMG press release follow.

Understatement cannot be considered as one of the advantageous features of VATH V58. This is also true with the SLK AMG R171. Not only can you not ignore the outside appearance of VATH V58, but also the SLK performance under the hood. A high-performance 565 hp and 770 Nm engine is running in the motor compartment. The increase in performance and thus engine upgrading is achieved by cylinder capacity improvement by 5.8 liters combined with a compressor.

These upgrades include sports pistons, sports distribution shafts, exhaust manifolds, catalysts of high-grade steel, sports exhaust silencers, polished cylinder heads, a sports air filter and a long-stroke crankshaft. Together with fine adjustment of electronics, this is enough to launch the cabriolet with a speed of 310 km/h. The cost of such performance improvement amounts to 30,785 Euro including installation works and technical inspection fees.

Optionally, the VATH tuning company supplies a locking differential for 5,224 Euro and its home-produced and patented fuel cooler for 2,070 Euro.

19-incher wheels guarantee an impressive appearance with mirror polished rim wells of high-grade steel. They are available off-the-shelf in silver, black or the car colour at your choice. High durability tyres with the front size of 235/35 and 275/30 at the back axle ensure excellent contact with the road.

Custom-made threaded sports chassis (3,677 Euro including installation works and wheel alignment) draws the car nearer to the road surface – from 20 to 65 mm (user adjustable).

To improve stoppage characteristics, VÄTH provides high-performance brake system (6,009 Euro including installation works and technical inspection fees). Six-piston saddles with 378-millimeter brake disks are provided at the front.

What is more, VATH has made SLK more streamlined thanks to carbon components. The aerodynamic package includes carbon front spoiler lips (1,404 Euro), varnished in black here, and a rear diffuser (1,952 Euro) with visible carbon Finns and prolongation of the underside.

Interior package (2,975 Euro) consists of climate control system, ashtray protective coating, gear shift gate, gear knob, light-reflecting door coatings and left/right seat position control coverings.

To be in harmony with the car’s interior climate, VATH offers sports steering wheel, if desired, with leather, carbon or fine wood trimming for 1,416 Euro.

Special thanks to MercJames for the photos and press release.

While the Mercedes C63 AMG Estate is by all accounts an impressive vehicle on its own merits, the fine gentlemen at Väth felt it was capable of more – and by more, I mean 585 horsepower and 690 Nm of torque.  It’s these figures that help Väth’s tuned Mercedes C63 AMG Estate – a model they call the Väth V63RS Clubsport Wagon – achieve a top speed of 202 miles per hour.  Excessive?  Maybe.  But the Väth V63RS Clubsport Wagon is sure to meet the demands of adrenaline loving soccer moms everywhere.

In addition to the power, Väth also enhanced the C63 Estate’s handling and braking as well, courtesy of a new sport suspension system and high performance braking system.  Completing the package, an interior with carbon fiber and Alcantara accents and a few aerodynamic enhancements add a tasteful, sporty edge to the already covetable model.

If you’re looking for a way to spice up your somewhat conservative Mercedes C-Class, German tuning firm Väth has unveiled a new series of enhancements for the model under the moniker V18K. I know, the prospect of altering your traditional C-Class may sound somewhat daunting for those of you already fond of your standard C, but not to worry, as the V18K is by all accounts a relatively minor tuning program when compared to the vast number of other Mercedes tuning programs available.

From a mechanical standpoint, changes come by way of software optimization program, the result of which is a 31 hp improvement in the C200. With its newfound 215 total horsepower, top speed in the C-Class rises, increasing 3 mph to 149 mph. Outside, modifications are again fairly restrained. A new front apron, a black radiator grille sans Mercedes star, black 18-inch wheels, a rear spoiler and stainless steel exhaust system are all present, while completing the package is a tweaking of the suspension, resulting in a ride height 45mm lower in the front and 35mm lower in the rear.

If you’re interested, pricing for the Väth V18K comes in at EUR 1773 for the engine optimization, while pricing for the cosmetic enhancements varies by piece.
