The performance enhancement will set back Mercedes CLS 63 AMG owners around $17,620 for the V63RS package. The V63RS includes a reconfigured ECU, a stainless sport exhaust setup, and an intercooler.

The changes when applied will give the potent to start with CLS 63 AMG more oomph as it will be able to give out 649 horsepower with a torque of 709 lb-ft. These numbers mean that the tuned Mercedes CLS AMG will be able to go from 0 to 100 kilometers an hour in just 3.9 seconds. The top speed is reported to be at 325 kilometers per hours.

When it comes to the styling, there is an option to mount a trunk spoiler, rear diffuser, and let the car roll on twenty-inch rims hugged by high performance rubbers. The brake setup can also be reworked plus some lowering springs be installed.

For the interiors, some enhancements include fitting the Mercedes CLS Class with a sporty steering wheel, put a new speedometer which can get to 360 kph, and use some carbon fiber elements.

The Mercedes CLS had its first public appearance during the Paris auto show back in 2010. VATH is a German tuning company based in Hosbach which is not too distant from Aschaffenburg.
