The folks from Loewenstein Manufaktur don't yet have the cachet of much more known tuners like Brabus or Carlsson when it comes to bonkers Mercedes-Benz models, but we suspect that situation will soon change after more and more people learn about their epic products.
The closest and some of the best example comes in the form of the Mercedes-Benz C 63 AMG Wagon in the adjacent photos, which has received some supercharged magic from the German tuner.
Officially called the Loewenstein LM63-700 Kompressor, this monster wagon develops no less than 702 horsepower and a tire-shredding 870 Nm (642 lb ft) of torque from its supercharged 6.2-liter V8.
Compared to the “standard” 457 hp and 600 Nm (443 lb ft) of torque of the original M156 engine in natural aspiration form, we find the above figures quite a bit more than impressive.
Since Loewenstein Manufaktur decided to put the engine in a C 63 AMG of the station wagon variety which they've vinyl-wrapped in white (minus the lion head on the hood), you might just go ahead and call this the fastest ambulance in the world.
