…Read More The Vuk EVOlution X features a hybrid powertrain and makes 671 bhp. View Personalised Offers on Check Offers German tuner Vuk Manufactur has unveiled its boldest project yet, reworking the latest Mercedes-AMG C 63 S into a V8-powered super sedan. The current-generation C 63 S (W206) faced criticism at launch for swapping AMG’s trademark V8 for a 2.0-litre hybrid four-cylinder, despite its impressive combined output. Now, Vuk has addressed those concerns directly, fitting the car with a twin-turbocharged V8 and adding a dramatic body kit under the banner of the EVOlution X. VUK EVOlution X: DesignThe EVOlution X doesn’t just focus on what’s under the hood. Its styling pays homage to the legendary Mercedes 190E Evo II, a DTM racing hero from the early 1990s. The widebody kit includes aggressively flared fenders, a reinforced front splitter, new side skirts, and a towering rear wing. Black six-spoke alloy wheels emphasise the stance, while a custom diffuser and bespoke badging complete the exterior upgrades. Subtle Petronas green highlights, reminiscent of Mercedes-AMG’s Formula 1 livery, add to its visual impact.

The factory car produces 469 bhp from its four-cylinder unit alone, paired with an electric motor for a total of 671 bhp. With the V8 conversion, enthusiasts anticipate a more traditional AMG driving experience with greater focus on engine sound and torque delivery.

VUK EVOlution X: A nod to AMG puristsThe EVOlution X stands out not only as a technical showcase but also as a cultural statement. By bringing the V8 back, Vuk Manufactur has created the car that many enthusiasts feel AMG itself should have produced, combining modern performance with the spirit of Mercedes-Benz’s racing past.
