SR Performance showed up at this year's Essen Motor Show with two totally different vehicles of German origin.
First up is a visually updated Audi A5 Coupe, that sports a matte black wrap sits on a set of gold five-spoke wheels. Although its body kit makes it look more menacing than a regular A5, the coupe has no powertrain modifications whatsoever. But at least it sits and rolls pretty, right?

The second one, a Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG wagon has a whole different story. Already powered by a 6.2-liter V8 engine, this grocery getter is awesome by default thanks to an output of over 450 horsepower. However, SR Performance managed to add an extra 83 HP, for a new power rating of 540 HP and 665 Nm of torque.

Exterior updates are limited to a Matt Bond Gold Metallic wrap, light-weight BBS CH-R wheels wrapped in Continental Sport Contact 5 tires, but a Bilstein B16 PSS 10 suspension is also available for better ride and handling.
