  • Mercedes-AMG E63 better than Bugatti and LaFerrari?

     POSAIDON Mercedes-AMG E63 RS850 front viewPOSAIDON takes Mercedes-AMG E63 RS850+ to the heights of 1,020 hp and 1,400 Nm!

    Believe it or not, this is the ultimate truth, which might not seem pleasant to many: this Mercedes beats the Veyron and the LaFerrari. However, there is one condition for this to be true and it is of course the tuning. This time under the spotlight is the design team at POSAIDON, which managed to take the rather clumsy E63 to unbelievable heights: we are speaking of 1,020 hp and 1,400 Nm!

    Compared to the legendary Veyron which has 16-cylinders, four turbochargers, and 8.0 litres of engine capacity, and generates just 1,001 hp, the Mercedes seems a real on-road hero. Even the extremely rare LaFerrari has worse performance than this E63, and you should also consider the fact that it needs an electric motor married to a V12 to generate 963 hp.

    SEE ALSO: Posaidon Ensures that there is an excess of 700 HP for the Mercedes-AMG C63 Station Wagon 

    Another benefit is that you need to pay less for the modifications, than for the Veyron or the LaFerrari, and still have better performance. Enough talking already! Here is all you need to know for the POSAIDON RS850+.

     POSAIDON Mercedes-AMG E63 RS850 engine

    The car is based on the Mercedes-AMG E63 4Matic four-door saloon. To make the performance upgrade possible, the tuning studio had to upgrade and re-engineer the major engine components. The experts started with installing larger turbochargers and more efficient intercoolers. Next, they improved the ram air intake with a carbon-fibre encased intake system. The latter features large free-flow conical air filter.

    The engine transformation continues through the addition of colder competition spark plugs, handmade turbo-back exhaust and valve controlled rear silencer. At last, the new hardware is supported by the custom ECU mapping, which makes full use of the modifications. Oh, we forgot to mention that the tuners updated the gearbox and fitted specially calibrated limited slip differentials to the front and rear axles.

     POSAIDON Mercedes-AMG E63 RS850 interior

    Mentioning that the E63 AMG is a little bit clumsy wasn’t coincidental. In fact, the car is anything but light. For this reason the engineers tried to shed unnecessary kilos wherever possible. In other words they removed the rear seat and rear door trims, and replaced the front seats with the figure hugging race style lightweight seats (just like those in the C63 Black Series). All of this results in 40 kg less weight.

    The ultra-light and strong carbon is another way to make a car lighter. So, the tuning company had no choice but adding carbon bonnet, front bumper, rear diffuser and spoiler, mirror caps and tailpipes. Another noticeable change is the new wire mesh grille.

    The wheels the E63 RS850+ runs on are 20-inch ADV.1 alloys that look good filling the wheel arches. Behind them we see high-performance carbon-ceramic brake system with 420 x 40mm vented discs clamped by six-pot callipers in front, and 360 x 32-mm vented discs with four-pot callipers at the rear. The suspension is uprated with adjustable coilovers.

    But the result is more than just 1,020 hp and 1,400 Nm of torque. Due to all-wheel-drive, the POSAIDON RS850+ hits the 100km/h from rest in just 2.8 seconds! If unleashed, the top speed reaches 368 km/h, but due to safety measures it has been electronically limited to 350 km/h. These facts make the E63 RS850+ the most powerful street-legal Mercedes of all time.

  • Mercedes-AMG strikes again: 2018 GT R revealed!

    2018 Mercedes-AMG GT RSo, what do we have here? A premium automobile brand, a premium tuner brand and a street-legal masterpiece: definitely the new AMG GT R is one hell-of-a vehicle. Distinctive and beautiful, the car has a lot to show. And without any further stalling, let’s see what we are dealing with.

    Exterior design

    We all know that this is a Mercedes-Benz vehicle and we all know how stylish these cars are. Of course, this one is no exception: we have a low-slung front section, forward-inclined radiator grille that somehow makes a “shark-nose” expression. In fact, the front fascia proudly demonstrates a new jet-wing design that enhances the feeling of massiveness and width.

    Spending countless hours in a wind tunnel, the new Mercedes-AMG comes with sleek and aerodynamic profile with elegant lines and overall aggressive appearance.

    2018 Mercedes-AMG GT R

    Furthermore, the front fenders not only contribute to the overall beautiful expression, but also reduce weight: made of light carbon-fiber, these bad boys add a total of 1.8 inches to the width. The side view also benefits from new AMG Performance forged wheels in matte black. Of course, we do see the brake calipers, painted in yellow. Apparently, the sporty spirit is present and within the side view. And provided that the vehicle comes with high-grade carbon roof, we tend to believe that this is by far the most sporty-oriented Mercedes-AMG machine created so far.

    2018 Mercedes-AMG GT R

    And last, but not least, the rear end also has some stuff to show: new aluminum side walls that widen the rear with a total of 2.2 inches, which also improves the airflow and leaves space for additional dissipation of the heat generated by the rear silencer. So, what we do have as a result: aerodynamic shape that increases the surface contact and an enhanced drivability blended with striking beautiful and sporty design. Cool, right?

    Interior styling

    2018 Mercedes-AMG GT R

    The cabin is also heavily inspired by the world of motorsport. Buyers will be pleased to know that the car is geared with AMG Performance Seats with Nappa leather and DINAMICA microfiber components. Also, the wide-looking dashboard looks functional and somehow reminds of an aviation design theme. There are four central spotlight-style vents and concave-shaped door paneling with dynamic central console. Surely the AMG GT-R offers some neat sporty experience, thanks to the driver-focused cabin and all of these small sporty details that make a huge difference.

    Drivetrain and performance

    2018 Mercedes-AMG GT R

    Led by the idea of less is more, the AMG team managed to reduce the overall weight and therefore enhance the agility and versatility of the vehicle. Mercedes-AMG engineers used numerous aluminum alloy components for the body and chassis, some steel for the trunk and magnesium for the front deck.

    The suspension system was also fine-tuned and systematically designed for racetrack use. Wishbones, steering kunckles and hub carriers on the front and rear axle were created entirely of forged aluminum, while the high camber and the toe-in stability contributes in high cornering speeds and at the same time offers optimum feel for the road when driving with full force.

    Also present is the high-performance composite brake system that ensures precise deceleration and high fade-resistance with internally ventilated and perforated 15.4-inch diameter brake discs.

    SEE ALSO: If this Mercedes-AMG GT S could only happen…

    And most importantly: what does the engine offer? Well, the GT R comes with a handcrafted AMG power unit with 4.0 liters of fuel capacity, offering the titanic 577hp (430kW) and peak torque of 516 lb-ft between 1,900 and 5,500 rpm.

    The engine has undergone some special tweaks and fine-tunes and comes with modified compressor machining, smaller wastegate aneroid capsule and sharpened engine mapping. The V8 Biturbo engine also features twin-scroll turbochargers, mounted on the outside of the cylinder banks. This contributes to a compact engine design, better response and better CO2 emission rates.

    This unit is paired to a seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox with modified hardware and software for longer ratio for the first gear and longer ratio for the final ones.

    So, do you like it? We are more than excited about the new Mercedes-AMG creation. Write down what you think in the comment section!

  • Mercedes GLC Coupe: what’s new? Don’t worry, there’s nothing that impressive

    GLC Coupe comes with revealed details and will try to add great value for its price. But will it succeed? Let’s find out!

    This is the latest addition to the GLC lineup and for some reason it will try to be the best one. As the previous generation. And the previous one. And the previous one. And…you got the point. So, what are we dealing with?

    The GLC 220 comes with 170 horsepower via a 2.1-liter diesel power unit, while the GLC 250 offers 204hp with 56.5 mpg and 131 g/km. This power is controlled via a 9G-TRONIC automatic gearbox as a standard. Of course, Mercedes team continues the tradition and will also offer a Sport and a AMG line. These bad boys show some more style and muscles: Garmin Map Pilot navigation system, Active Park Assist, Artico upholstery, keyless start, sporty suspension, electrically operated tail gate and neat 18-inch wheels.

    SEE ALSO: If this Mercedes-AMG GT S could only happen…

    Also, the sporty models can be further refined with optional AMG sport steering wheel with flat bottom, brushed steel sports pedals, Artico leather, AMG bodystyling and 19-inch alloys. Of course, you can’t just expect that this is all from Mercedes-AMG. There are additional Premium and Premium Plus upgrade packages that include ambient lightning, infotainment systems, all kinds of keyless entries, safety features as Blind Spot Assist and Lane Tracking assist and many more.

    Long story short, you get three base models and about five or six upgrade packs with different kinds of gadgets and tweaks. At first we thought it is a stupid idea, but when you think of it, Mercedes-Benz has been doing this for decades now. Nothing really has changed. As the new model itself. Enjoy.

  • New Mercedes-Benz E-Class Estate is here in early 2017!

    Mercedes E Class Estate Front viewThe estate version of the new E-Class proudly demonstrates innovative engineering and incredible intelligent gadgets. And provided that the vehicle is geared with the latest Mercedes drivetrain systems, we tend to believe that this is by far the most advanced estate that the premium brand has ever created.

    Featuring an E 220 d 194hp (143kW) four-cylinder diesel engine, the lineup will be aided by a even more powerful E 350 d six-cylinder diesel that would be available later this year. At the same time, the Mercedes-AMG E 43 4MATIC Estate that would be available from the fourth quarter will offer the aid of 401 horses (295kW) via a 3.0-liter V6 biturbo engine, mated to a 9G-TRONIC automatic transmission with shortened shift times. But first, let’s talk about design!

    Exterior styling

    The new E-Class Estate looks modern, confident an agile, just as any sporty Mercedes-Benz vehicle should look like. With long bonnet, elegant lines and sporty curves, the vehicle enters the new model year with steeply tapering rear window, short overhangs, longer wheelbase and large wheels.

    Completing the exterior fairytale is the rear end with broad shoulders and the roof spoiler with a third brake light that altogether define the distinctive and muscular rear. Also, all Estate models will feature and a load sill guard in stainless steel. Sweet.

    Interior styling

    2017 Mercedes-Benz E-Class Estate

    The inside utilizes Saloon’s award-winning design. The instrument panel can be adorned with two optional wide and high-resolution displays, while the controls are provided in terms of touchpad with special controller that recognizes handwriting.

    Also, as you might have expected, everything in the cabin is high-quality and looks premium. The open-pore wood components, wooden flowing lines, combined with metal elements contribute to that premium and comfortable ambience. And let’s not forget for that meticulous attention to details: there are attractive color combinations, various shade of gammas and overall plenty of opportunities for personalization.

    In terms of space, the E-Class Estate will remain one of the best in the segment. With cargo volume of up to 1820 liters and despite the sporty roofline, the headroom and elbowroom in the rear are in turn the best in the class.

    Utility and convenience

    2017 Mercedes-Benz E-Class Estate

    The EASY-PACK tailgate, as part of the standard equipment, can be opened and closed with a touch of a button, while the keyless go and hands-free access makes loading even more comfortable: you just make a kicking motion with foot underneath the rear bumper and the boot lid opens automatically.

    Also, in few simple steps, the rear bench seat becomes a communications and entertainment centre courtesy of iPad Rear Seat Integration Plug and Play.

    Aiding the driver are Active Brake Assist system, along with Driver Pilot system, Distance Pilot Distronic, Remote Parking Pilot and more.

  • This is how the Mercedes-AMG GT S could look, if …

    Mercedes-AMG GT S by Marcus PIECHA This great sketch of a unique Mercedes-AMG GT S has been designed by Marcus PIECHA himself. It is his vision of how the AMG GT S could look in the best possible way and it is currently in a “preparation” form. Although the tuning studio says that it is just a teaser, we are absolutely sure that this vehicle is about to come up to life very, very soon. So here is what we know.

    Marcus Piecha has envisioned everything as “entirely new design”, but that still keeps the characteristics that make the Mercedes-AMG instantly recognizable. Despite that it is only a sketch, we can definitely see how much work is about to get involved in this project.

    SEE ALSO: Mercedes-Benz SLC has never looked better and there is just one reason for this 

    What has been also emphasized is that the exciting new design was not supposed to re-invent the AMG GT or GT S, but to highlight its beautiful character. In other words, the designer wanted to make its racy look more pronounced, but without neglecting its elegance.

    Plans for optimization include aerodynamic enhancement, optimization of AMG GT S’ suspension and boost of the overall performance. Just to remind you: the production variant of the Mercedes-Benz AMG GT is capable of generating 462 hp (340 kW) and 600 Nm (443 lb-ft) of torque, while the GT S variant of the model is rated at 510 hp (375 kW) and 650 Nm (480 lb-ft) of torque. So we can expect much more than these numbers.

    Although no more details and data were announced, we believe that we will soon witness the first photorealistic renderings or images of the model. Still, fans will have to wait a few more months until the car is eventually entirely ready. Stay tuned!

  • Prior-Design meets Vossen Wheels in a cool Mercedes-AMG GT S project and everything is shot in Monaco

    Prior-Design Mercedes-AMG GT S front and side viewWhat happens when two very posh companies that offer additional style for you vehicle work together? It happens projects like this. The unique Mercedes-AMG GT S has been updated by Prior-Design in general, but instead of the standard wheels that come with the wide-body kit they offer, it has been fitted with Vossen ones. What is more, the car has been photographed in one of the most beautiful places on Earth: Monaco! Is it the place that makes this car so attractive or?

    Prior-Design Mercedes-AMG GT S has taken part in the 2016 Supercars Monaco Prior-Design Tour, which aimed at showing custom-made wide-body kits on some of the fastest models in the automotive world.

    Prior-Design PD800 GT

    This is the name of the new wide-body kit by the specialists at Prior-Design. As you can expect, it not only makes the car more individual (in terms of looks), but it also takes care for its performance abilities, although in an indirect way.

    SEE ALSO: Prior-Design is killing it with the Audi RS6/A6 Avant PD600R project

    To go into details, the pack comprises of some cool parts like a front add-on spoiler and trunk spoiler, brand new side skirts, rear diffuser at the back, front and rear flared arches as well as custom canards and air intake panels. The result leaves us speechless. Oh and there is a custom bonnet on the way, too.

    Prior-Design Mercedes-AMG GT S front view

    Originally this kit comes with the in-house made PD3Forged Superlight wheels. However in this case Vossen Wheels has stepped in bringing about more exclusivity than ever. Here you look at huge VPS-307 Vossen alloys fitted with low profiles.

    Most definitely this tuning pack will help the supercar release its inherent power: 510 hp (375 kW) and 650 Nm (480 lb-ft) of torque. Just to remind you, the sprint the AMG GT S is making to 100 km/h from standstill is in only 3.8 seconds, while the Vmax has been positioned at 310 km/h (192 mph).

  • X-Men: Apocalypse is here and so are the cars of your favorite characters! Check them out!

    Wolverine Driving 1988 Toyota Hilux The “X-Men: Apocalypse” is probably one of the most awaited superhero movies this year and we are all hoping it is not a huge disappointment like “Batman vs. Superman”. The premiere of blockbuster-to-be movie is happening now and the hype is extremely huge. This was probably the reason for the appearance of these interesting renderings, which show what car models would the superheroes of X-Men drive. We would love to know your opinion about them, so make sure you leave a comment below. Is there anything unexpected you see or would you offer a better car for any of the characters?

    Wolverine Driving the Nasty Toyota Hilux from 1988

    If you have thought that the Wolverine would go for anything smaller, you would be wrong. The 1988 Toyota Hilux seems the perfect car for him with its rugged appearance and go-anywhere capabilities. In fact, in this rendering it almost looks indestructible… just like the protagonist played by Hugh Jackman.

    SEE ALSO: Honda Jazz Type R, Ford Ka ST, Volkswagen up! GTi and the BMW M i3 are the craziest vehicles you’ll see this weekend!

    As you can see, this Hilux isn’t ordinary, but it has a few extra features to help Wolverine in his duties. These include huge and custom-made wheels and retractable blades, which give him the strength and ferocity to destroy the enemies.

    Magneto Driving a BMW M6 Coupe

    Magneto Driving a BMW M6 Coupe

    Any questions? Who would say anything else if this is the choice of the mighty Magneto. The character played by Michael Fassbender has chosen the beautiful maroon BMW M6 Coupe, which looks almost as stylish and sexy as he does. The slick high-speed car jumps to 100 km/h (62 mph) from rest in mere 3.9 seconds, so he will have no trouble escaping any hard situation.

    In this render, the body of the car is made from the same material as the helmet he wears, thus increasing his resistance to any incoming telepathy. In addition, he will sit behind a bulled prove glass (not that he needs it) and will ride his BMW on superior wheels.

    Mystique’s Blue Skinned BMW i8

    Mystique Driving BMW i8

    Jennifer Lawrence is playing Mystique, and her character has chosen the electric BMW i8. Made of carbon-fiber, she’s even faster, more agile and ready to make her enemies regret that they are alive. With blue scaly skin and flashing yellow headlights her i8 is almost as beautiful as she is.

    Charles Xavier Has Chosen the Tesla Model X

    Charles Xavier Driving Tesla Model X

    There is no other car than Tesla’s Model X that is perfect for Charles Xavier. James McAvoy’s character is science genius, who can not drive anything less than a vehicle made by a genius (like Elon Musk). He will also have no trouble accessing his spacious car, because of its double rear door entry. Sitting behind bullet proof windows he will manage the important duties and control the actions of the X-Men team.

    Apocalypse’s Mercedes-AMG 63 6×6

    Apocalypse Driving Mercedes-AMG 63 6x6

    Apocalypse is the longest survivor of all the X-Men and this is why the vehicle chosen for this character is the six-wheeled Mercedes-AMG 63 6×6. Each Armour panel of this machine is intricately designed in art from another age. With these exaggerated wheels, the X-Men are set to destroy or finally save the world!

    Cyclops Has Chosen the Shelby Mustang GT350R

    Cyclops Driving Shelby Mustang GT350R

    It is not a surprise that the Cyclops has chosen the Shelby Mustang GT350R because he has always been a fan of the Shelby American. This particular render envisions the GT350R with super speed and lightweight carbon fibre wheels, visor windscreen and automatic headlamps which double up as red optic blasts.

    Jean Grey’s Cute Volvo XC90

    Jean Grey Driving Volvo XC90

    Jean Grey is played by one of the Game of Thrones’ cast, Sophie Turner (playing Sansa Stark). We are sure that she will make a fantastic role in these series, too. Her Jean Grey character is envisioned in the renderings driving a cute Volvo XC90, which also has unexpected capabilities. Because of the traumatizing memory of her sister’s death caused by a car accident, she has chosen the safest of brands. In addition, her XC90 also sports bullet proof windows and an inbuilt cerebro in the windshield.

    So, what do you think?

  • You Need to Drive the new Mercedes-AMG C63 Cabriolet! The Reason is Hidden Under the Hood

    Mercedes-AMG C63 Cabriolet Front ViewMeet the latest Mercedes-AMG C63 Cabriolet which offers luxurious open-air experience and the pleasure of riding a car powered by a biturbo AMG V8 engine. The unit is offered with two power outputs: 350 kW (476 hp) or 375 kW (510 hp). The extreme horsepower is emphasized with the looks of the cabrio, including its flared wheel arches at the front and rear, the wide track and the large wheels. The driving dynamics are backed up by the AMG RIDE CONTROL suspension with adaptive damping adjustment, the rear-axle limited-slip differential as well as the dynamic engine mounts.

    More Details about the V8 Biturbo Engine

    What makes the new C63 so exclusive and even competitive on the race track? The answer is of course its unique biturbo unit. Exceptional in every aspect the 8-cylinder Mercedes‑AMG powerplant will definitely cover the expectations of those who desire a combination of a highly emotive, soundy and torquey power delivery.

    SEE ALSO: Mercedes-Benz Proudly Showcases the 2017 GLC Coupe at the Shanghai Auto Show

    As mentioned, there are two variants for the power output of the car: the higher is of the C63 S Cabriolet, which by the way is capapble of accelerating from 0 to 100 km/h in only 4.1 seconds. On the other hand, its not so powerful sibling does this within an extra 0.1 second. The top speed for both is 250 km/h and it is electronically limited. If one opts for the AMG Driver’s Package, the top speed rises to 280 km/h.

     2016 Mercedes-AMG C63 Cabriolet Rear view

    Another interesting fact is that the engine also powers the C63 Saloon, Estate and Coupe as well as the GT sports car. Its characteristic feature is that the two turbochargers are positioned not on the outside of the cylinder banks, but between them in the “V”, or as the experts call it: the “hot inside V”. This is of course not meaningless, but offers many benefits for the engine like its compact construction, optimal response and low exhaust gas emissions.

    Mercedes-AMG C63 Cabriolet Models has just made its New York International Auto Show debut. It will have a market launch in August this year.
