Mercedes-AMG C63 S Ready To Bite Your Face Off With Carbon-Look Wheels

If recent reports turn out to be true, the current Mercedes-AMG C63 might very well be the last one powered by a V8, as the next-generation model is rumored to feature a hybrid four-cylinder. Thus, example like this one will make us fondly remember the performance sedan in its ultimate form.

Powering the W205-generation Mercedes-AMG C63 and C63 S models is a twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V8 producing 469 hp and 479 lb-ft (650 Nm) in the C 63 and 503 hp and 516 lb-ft (700 Nm) in the S. And while electrification is the way to go, we’ll be sad to witness the demise of the V8.

In any case, this particular C63 S was recently outfitted with a set of Strasse Wheels – and an expensive one with a carbon fiber look at that. The wheels are dubbed the SMR5 Deep Concave and measure 19×8.5 at the front and 19×10 at the rear. Carbon fiber wheels for cars and motorcycles are all the rage at the moment, and the owner of this car clearly wanted in on the action with the faux carbon applied to the black rims.

Adorning this Merc are a number of other aftermarket modifications. Up front, there is a new carbon fiber splitter while at the sides there are a set of matching carbon fiber skirts. At the rear and you will notice a distinct carbon fiber diffuser and an enlarged lip spoiler. A number of red accents, including around the front grille, the brake calipers and the center caps finish off the look.
