MEC Design recently unveiled a tuning package for the 2010 Mercedes C63 AMG. It features an aerodynamic bodykit, interior refresh and a number of performance enhancements, pushing the C63 AMG even further towards the limits of its performance potential.

Under the bonnet, MEC Design have added an extra 105 kW by playing with the ECU software, adding a sports exhaust – including catalytic converters – and a sports air filter. Total power output from the 6.2-litre V8 engine is now 441 kW with 700 Nm of torque on tap.

A new front spoiler lip, air intake set, front bumper, rear spoiler and diffuser have all been added. These items have all been produced in carbon fibre and offer a high quality finish. Plenty of carbon fibre trim is present inside MEC’s C63 too. You’ll find it on the base of the seat shells, door trim panels, center console, instrument cluster surround, as well as on the sports steering wheel.

Spacers have been added to widen the car’s track – 3 mm at the front and 7 mm at the rear. MEC have also bolted on a set of their own one-piece ‘MECxtremeIII’ 20-inch alloy wheels, that wear 235/30 profile rubber.

As it comes from the factory, the Mercedes-Benz CLS55 AMG leaves little to be desired. Aside from its revolutionary four door coupe like design and powerful hand built V8 under the hood, the AMG tuned CLS allows you to tackle every curve and blast down long stretches of open highway while bringing three of your closest friends along for the ride.

AMG’s design team does an excellent job making the CLS a proven performance machine, but as is often the case with aftermarket tuners, in this case MEC Design, there is no such thing as good enough.

So MEC started out by giving the CLS a new set of shoes in the form of MECxtreme III Edition alloys measuring 20 inches in diameter. Getting the stance just right, MEC incorporated an adjustable Electronic Lowering module that can raise the chassis over rough terrain and then slam it all the way down to the ground when you arrive at your destination.

At the rear MEC installed one of their sport tuned quad-tipped stainless-steel exhaust systems to add both a bit of style and sporting sound to the CLS. On the inside the driver grabs hold of a custom carbon fibre and leather wrapped steering wheel designed by MEC, to go along with the carbon trim kit that dresses up the rest of the interior.

Even though the Mercedes-Benz CLS55 AMG didn’t need any help from the aftermarket, owners should be glad that MEC gave it a shot anyway.
