The Mercedes-Benz C-Class has only just hit showrooms in Australia (details here)but tuners in Europe have already started to customise Stuttgart’s latest star. First cap of the rank is German tuner, Schmidt Revolution, which has just announced a performance upgrade in collaboration with long time Benz tuner, Carlsson.
The model chosen to receive the upgrade was the C220 BlueTEC (not available in Australia). The car’s 2.2-litre four-cylinder turbo-diesel engine has been massaged to churn out 150kW (204PS) of power and 500Nm of torque, up from 125kW and 400Nm.
The car was also fitted with new KW Inox Line – Variant 3 adjustable coilovers, which is 35mm adjustable at the front and 70mm at the back. The tuner also said that a KW DDC ECU coilover with electronic damper adjustment will be available shortly.
Outside, the C-Class’ elegant exterior has been left pretty much untouched, except for a set of hot new 20-inch high gloss silver wheels (also available in Satin Black) wrapped in sticky 235/30 R20 Dunlop tyres at the front, and 275/25 R20 at the rear.
