An upgrade is available for the C 200 Kompressor model that boosts the vehicle’s performance from 184 hp to 218 hp and torque from 250 Nm to 295 Nm. This added power is achieved by installing a modified engine control unit along with altered belt pulleys, drive belts and a different air filter. The C 350 with its V6 unit features modified camshafts increasing performance from 272 hp to 305 hp, while the torque jumps from 350 Nm to 380 Nm.

The diesel powered C 200 CDI’s output can be upgraded from 136 hp to 156 hp, which translates into a torque boost from 270 Nm to 360 Nm while the C 220 CDI’s standard performance is enhanced from 170 hp to 191 hp and 480 Nm of torque (standard: 400 Nm). The top of this line of upgraded Diesel vehicles is the C 320 CDI, which features a standard performance of 224 hp and a maximum torque of 510 Nm.
