More Power Please: Väth Extracts up to 270HP from Mercedes C250 CGI


If you want your Mercedes-Benz C250 CGI to be faster and more "carbon-fibery", German tuning firm, Väth, has you covered with its latest package that includes cosmetic upgrades and a variety of modifications under the hood.

There are two levels of performance upgrades for the car's 1.8-liter turbocharged four-cylinder petrol engine. Priced at €1,200, the first kit bumps output from 204HP and 310Nm to 255 HP and 370 Nm. As a result, top speed is lifted to 260km/h or 162mph. The second stage, which includes a new intercooler (€1,186.60) and a sport exhaust system (€2,011.10), brings output to a more potent 270HP.

To improve the car's handling, Väth offers a height adjustable suspension and a more powerful braking system (€5,355) with 360mm discs and 6 piston calipers at the front and 320mm discs and 4 piston calipers at the back, plus a new set of 19-inch rims wrapped in 235/35ZR19 and 265/30ZR19 tires (€4,046).

Available exterior aero bits include a variety of carbon fiber parts such as a bonnet (€4,641), front lip spoiler (€1,416.10), rear diffuser (€1,773) and a boot lid spoiler (€332.20).

The C250 CGI's interior can also be revamped with Alcantra roof lining and a carbon fiber trim package priced together at €980.
