Vath Tunes the Mercedes E-Klasse Coupe

VATH Automobiltechnik, a Mercedes-dedicated tuner, has released its latest project, the Vath E500 Coupe V50S, obviously based on the E-Klasse Coupe 500 (proper) four-seat, two-door coupe.

Vath has developed the V50S “efficiency package”, that brings the car’s V8 engine to 435 HP and 575 Nm of torque from its standard 388 HP and 530 Nm of torque figures. The power increase has been achieved through the use of a new performance air filter, a complete sport exhaust system (this includes sport catalysts) and, of course, and ECU remap. The muscle pill can be ordered for 8,211 Euro.

The luxury coupe also features an improved handling, through the use of an adjustable sport suspension (the feature is available for 2963 euro). This lowers the car by up to 65mm. In addition to that, the German tuner has equipped the coupe with a high-performance braking system (it costs 5,355 euro) that uses 6-piston calipers and 378 mm discs.

The tuning house has also prepared an aerodynamic package for the E coupe. This includes a front spoiler lip (the part retails for 1,416 euro), a rear trunk lip spoiler (this can be yours for 1,761 euro) and a rear diffuser (this will set you back 1,773 euro). The Vath e500 Coupe V50S rides on Smith design 20-inch 3-part alloy rims (a set of four costs 8,211 euro). These are wrapped in sport tires: 245/30-20 for the front axle and 285/25-20 for the rear axle.

The car’s interior has received a discrete treatment, through the use of Vath’s Carbon Interior Packet (this retails for 2,737 euro).
