Mercedes-AMG introduced the new performance world about a year ago C 63 E Performance, based on the 206 series, was downright shocked. The innovation brought a mix of combustion engines and electrification, which resulted in a system output of 680 PS and 1.020 Nm torque results. And if the electric drive had been connected to an eight-cylinder engine, then everyone would certainly have been happy. But the change from the V8 to the Two-liter turbo four-cylinder left the community mourning the model's lost prestige. And we still believe the community is right. Nevertheless, the MANHART Performance team starts at this point and proudly presents it CRE 700, as a tribute to the legendary performance of the C 63, but now enhanced by the latest technology and a wonderful design.

MANHART CRE 700

The CRE 700 stands out in terms of performance because of this MHtronik additional control unit from MANHART from the original model, which increases the performance of the four-cylinder 725 PS and the torque is impressive 1.120 Nm is raised. Four-cylinder or not, the increase in performance impressively underlines this potential, which is also found in smaller engines, and sets new standards in the class of high-performance sedans. A key aspect of the tuning concept is the changed Sports exhaust system, With the Sports downpipes and 300-cell catalysts is equipped.

The combination not only ensures better performance, but also gives the CRE 700 powerful acoustics. However, it should be noted that the components are currently still without TÜV approval and are initially reserved for the export market. When it comes to appearance, MANHART relies on restraint with class. The Lowering at about 20 millimeters using MANHART lowering springs by H&R and the black painted body with the MANHART decor set fit seamlessly into the overall picture.

All Chrome elements were blackened and the matt black ones AMG wheels with red decorative stripes complete the look. For the aluminum, especially the 9,5×20 inch Y-spoke rims, Michelin tires were used in sizes 265/35 ZR20 front and 275/35 ZR20 rear chosen, which underlines the sporty orientation of the CRE 700. The Interior of the base vehicle, which is already in the F1 edition impresses with bucket seats and red accents, was considered perfect by MANHART and was therefore left untouched. With the CRE 700, MANHART Performance shows that true power and prestige do not have to be lost even in times of electrification and downsizing in engine construction. The CRE 700 represents the evolution of the C 63 AMG and makes you forget a little bit that there is only half the crew at the front.
