  • G-Power Unusually Boosts the Mercedes-AMG S63

     G-Power Mercedes-AMG S63 Front ViewG-Power is mainly responsible for the transformation of BMW cars. So this is the reason why this project is rather unusual, because it involves a Mercedes-AMG S63. Besides the new styling feats it has been equipped with, it has also received performance boost and Vmax extender. Dressed in beautiful matt-pearl grey color, this car exudes masculinity and prominence. And here are the details:

    The Wheels

    This S63 AMG runs on special in-house created Hurricane RR forged alloys, which are ultra weight and come in 20- and 21-inches of size. Besides the Jet Black color, they are also offered in Gun Metal Grey and Stardust Silver, and also feature optional diamond cut or high polished finish. Precisely, the front wheel arches were filled with 9,0Jx20-inch alloys connected with 255/35 R20 tyres, while the rear ones come in 10,5Jx20-inch and were mated with 285/30 R20 tyres.

    We know that the weight has a direct influence on vehicle performance, but also that the lower unsprung mass of lighter wheels imposes less dynamic loads on the suspension elements. As a result, the handling and road holding as well as straight-line performance are improved.

    Updates for the Engine

    The V8 motor under the hood of the S63 AMG has been tweaked via G-Power’s Bi-Tronik 5 V1 power upgrade. The result is spectacular, because it takes the vehicle from the standard 585hp (430 kW) to an incredible 705hp (518 kW), with peak torque swelling from 900 Nm (662 kW) to 1,000 Nm (741 kW).

    After the removal of the Vmax limiter, the S63 coupe achieves effortlessly 330 km/h and covers the 0 to 100km/h benchmark in just 3.8 seconds, which is 0.1 seconds faster than the standard time.

    Furthermore, there is high performance module, or the plug & play processor-controlled unit also programmed for crisper throttle response. This add-on system is not affected by factory software updates, and therefore the unit is also easily removed with no consequences.

  • Mercedes-Benz SLC Exclusively Gets a Stylish Night Pack

    Mercedes-Benz SLC with Night Pack It was about time for Mercedes to reveal some additional tweaks for its recently introduced SLC model. The new extra equipment is called Night Pack and it is definitely worth the look. Both the new SLC and the new styling kit will be available to order and in dealerships in the spring of 2016.

  • Rare Mercedes-AMG A45 Edition 1 Sees More Power and Torque Than Ever

    Posaidon Mercedes-AMG A45 4MATIC  Front ViewPosaidon has been very active lately (see in the link below) and this time they have sent us a very exclusive project, which again involves a Mercedes. However, what is particularly very cool about this car and what has impressed me much is that the tuning company has worked with the rare Posaidon Mercedes-AMG A45 Edition 1. The changes featured here not only involve power uprating but also feature some additional upgrades which we’ll discuss in details.

    The Excellent Tracktool

    The Mercedes-AMG A45 4MATIC is the perfect basis for power uprating because it initially offers impressive performance and exclusive optical properties. This is the reason why the tuning company did not hesitate to develop right away a breathtaking tracktool.

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

    Posaidon’s tracktool-package features a complex overhaul of the four-cylinder twin-scroll turbocharged engine. The result is impressive increase in power, which I will reveal you in a moment.

    Posaidon Mercedes-AMG A45 4MATIC  Rear View

    The boost was made possible via the addition of upgraded turbocharger, catless downpipe and revised the engine control software that includes the fine-tuning on a dynamometer. In addition, the tuners also optimized the charge air cooling and the airflow for the intake air.

    As a result, the increase in power is up to 485 hp (357 kW) and 555 Nm (410 lb-ft) of torque. In combination with the reinforced transmission, the powerhouse now reaches a top speed of 310 km/h.

    Other Goodies

    Nevertheless, this impressive performance requires an upgraded deceleration means. So, Posaidon offers an upgrade for the original braking system or special two-piece potted discs. At last, the conversion of the A45 Edition 1 includes in-house made speed-trap update for the navigational system, unlocking of the TV-Mode and the deactivation of the Start/Stop-ECO mode.

  • Posaidon Ensures that There is an excess of 700 HP for the Mercedes-AMG C63 Station Wagon

     Posaidon Mercedes-AMG C63 Station Wagon Front ViewPosaidon is a young tuning company which is fond of optimizing Mercedes-Benz vehicles. This time the attention of the specialists got the Mercedes-AMG C63 and C63 S in their station wagon versions. Note that in the gallery below is depicted only the C63 variant. They have chosen these two, because of the potent twin-charged 4.0 liter V8 engine, which in the C63 produces 476 hp (350 kW) and 650 Nm (480 lb-ft) of torque.

    The more powerful C63 S is capable of 510 hp (375 kW) and 700 Nm (517 lb-ft). Both cars have a factory limited top speed of 250 km/h, which can be raised to 290 km/h with the AMG Driver’s Package.

    M177DE40AL

    With performance tuning running in their blood, the experts at Posaidon decided to make something more impressive for the massive V8. This is why they have applied the M177DE40AL aggregate, which helps the C63 and C63 S achieve 700 hp (515 kW) and 890 Nm (657 lb-ft) of torque.  The result is better acceleration time, which now jumps to 3.4 seconds for the 0-100 km/h sprint. The top speed is taken even further – to 343 km/h.

    This “performance explosion” is assisted also by the in-house made turbochargers and the upgrade for the charge air cooling. What is more, the tuning company applied an exhaust system, which connects directly to the turbochargers and features motorsport catalysts.

    The engine map was optimized and now includes an optional deactivation of the start-stop mode, done by remapping the original engine control unit of the M177 engine. In addition, Posaidon optimized also the AMG SPEEDSHIFT MCT 7-speed-sports-transmission or if the customer wishes there can be installed an upgrade rear differential for the non S models. The latter delivers better traction of the driven rear wheels through its increased barrier effect.

    At last we should mention that the tuning studio offers the available speed-trap update. It integrates comfortably into the COMAND Online navigational system and makes everything a little bit easier.
