Wimmer RS’ Colorful Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG Packs 601 Ponies

The standard Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG sedan with its 457HP 6.2-liter naturally aspirated V8 lump is by no means a slow car, but when it comes to the tuning industry, the more ponies under the hood, the merrier. Bypassing the colorful body wrap, which is optional anyway, German tuning firm Wimmer RS starts by upgrading the C63 AMG’s eight-cylinder engine.

The massaging includes a sports camshaft, reworked cylinder heads, a new manifold and down pipe, high flow catalytic converters and a reconfigured ECU that help nudge output from 457HP and 600Nm to 601HP and 720Nm (531 lb-ft) of peak torque. Wimmer RS also removes the electronic speed limiter allowing the modified C63 AMG to reach a maximum velocity of 329 km/h (204.6 mph). The engine conversion by Wimmer RS costs €19,900 or about US$26,700.

The tune is complemented by a new set of 19-inch alloy wheels from BBS shod in Dunlop tires size 235/35-19 at the front axle and 265/35-19 at the rear along with a sports suspension priced at €3,600 or US$5,050.

These awesome celebrity caricatures are the work of freelance illustrator, Blake Loosli. He graduated from Brigham Young Univercity in Provo, Utah. Prizewinner of several prestigious awards.

It’s so refreshing to see caricatures created without the usual extreme distortion that is predominantly focused on criticism of the subject’s body and facial features.

The fact that these artworks were inspired by Loosli’s admiration for these celebrities goes a long way towards explaining why he showcased them with a little more dignity than many other caricature artists do.
