The upcoming Mercedes-AMG C63 is expected to feature a hybrid powertrain with a four-cylinder engine so, in order to say goodbye to the outgoing V8-powered W205 generation, Manhart presented a comprehensive tuning package for it. Furthermore, the Manhart CR 700 Wagon is (as you can tell by its name) based on the estate variant, combining practicality and performance.
Starting with the engine, AMG’s biturbo 4.0-liter V8 is upgraded from the stock 503 hp (375 kW / 510 PS) to a healthy 702 hp (524 kW / 712 PS). Similarly, torque is increased from 700 Nm (516 lb-ft) to 920 Nm (679 lb-ft). Thus, the CR 700 Wagon is capable of accelerating from 100 km/h to 200 km/h in a very impressive 5.5 seconds.

The power bump was made possible thanks to ECU remapping, plus a series of upgrades to the turbochargers, carbon intake, intercooler, and fuel pump. Manhart has also tweaked the nine-speed AMG Speedshift gearbox and offers sports downpipes with 200-cell catalytic converters or optional race downpipes.
Visually, despite being based on the previous generation C-Class, the R 700 Wagon still looks appealing, especially on the profile. Manhart has added its signature gold graphics contrasting with the black paint and the custom black grille. The 20-inch Concave One alloy wheels are shod in performance tires measuring 255/30ZR20 at the front and 275/30ZR20 at the rear. Finally, adjustable coil springs from H&R bring the car closer to the ground.

As you can see from the pictures, the car has a stock interior with plenty of carbon-fiber trim as it came from the factory. However, Manhart is willing to offer customization options to anyone that’s interested, like the sky roof starlight headliner that is available upon request.
The total cost of the car is unknown, however, on the tuner’s website we found listings for the 20-inch rims selling for €2,796 ($3,170), the MHtronik Powerbox module for €2,299 ($2,606), the exhaust system for €8,099 ($9,180), and the complete performance upgrade kit for €17,999 ($20,403).
