German tuner Kicherer presents its own T C 63 AMG Supersport, based on Mercedes C 63 AMG Estate. The standard version is equipped with AMG’s outstanding 6.2 litre V8 engine that - coupled with a 7-speed sequential transmission - produces an output of 451 hp and 600 Nm of maximum torque. In its standard configuration, the C 63 AMG Estate goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 4.5 seconds and boasts a top speed of 280 km/h.

Kicherer added a carbon fiber aerodynamic kit - made of a new front spoiler, side skirts, rear diffuser and extended wheel arches - and changed exhaust system, manifold, air filter and ECU mapping, providing the car with 550 hp and 640 Nm of peak torque in the process. As a result, Kicherer T C 63 AMG Supersport has a 0-100 km/h sprint time of 4. 2 seconds and 320 km/h of maximum speed.

This tuning also uses a lowered ride-height and composite brakes, while standard rims have been replaced with 21″ alloys. As for the interior, Kicherer chose Nappa leather upholstery combined with Alcantara dashboard, door covers and roof lining. No word on price.

Kicherer is the first tuner to take care of Mercedes SLS AMG Roadster. The renamed ‘Supersport GT/R’ features a brand new front grille with vertical fins which is deprived of the big 3-pointed star logo that is typical of the original model. The 20′ burnished alloy wheels are also brand new, and get emphasized by the lowered ride height. The Supersport GT/R also features the ‘Front Up’ suspension system, which allows the driver to lift up the front of the car so that obstacles such as steep ramps and speed bumps can be overcome without scratching the lower part of the front bumper.

Kicherer also offers 2 performance kits which can boost the 521hp of the original model up to 630 or 650hp. The first kit is made of a new exhaust system, sports air filter and dedicated ECU mapping. Then the addition of sports catalysts can provide the Supersport GT/R with an extra 20hp, which would make it accelerate from 0 to 100km/h in just 3.5 seconds.
