Posaidon – Automobiles Review

POSAIDON team takes a closer look at the mighty AMG GT R beast!

2019 POSAIDON Mercedes-AMG GT R Being called “The Beast of the Green Hell”, the mighty AMG GT R is surely a menacing machine. With its tremendous power output of 585hp/700Nm, generated by a 4.0-liter V8 twin-turbo engine, the vehicle manages to score an impressive lap time of 7:11 minutes at the legendary Nürburgring race track.

However, there a people who believe that AMG GT R can still deliver more and could further expand its potential. Indeed, we are talking about POSAIDON team. What these fellows have done is pretty much astonishing. First, engineers have boosted the overall output to the dramatic 800hp by installing new high-performance turbochargers. Furthermore, the connecting rods of the engine have been fitted with forged high-performance pistons and sport air filters and there’s also a new improved fuel pumps set that provide the twin-turbo engine with high-octane fuel. All this is topped off with engine software remapping.

This revised engine system is mated to an AMG SPEEDSHIFT seven-speed dual clutch gearbox. Furthermore, it aids the AMG GT R to speed from 0 to 100km/h in mere 2.9 seconds. Sweet, ain’t it?

And as one might have well expected from POSAIDON team, there’s an exclusive set of wheels – Evolution One. These come in 10×20-inch and 12×20-inch size and are wrapped by performance Michelin Pilot Sport Cup tires in 285/30R20 on the steering axle and 325/30R20 on the drive axle.

Posaidon team showcases a revised Mercedes-AMG vehicle

2018 Posaidon Mercedes-AMG E 63 RS It’s a common fact that AMG has recently replaced the large V8 units in its vehicles with the agile and a bit more compact four-liter twin-turbo V8. In fact, this was the case with the E 63 from 2017. Let us remind you that this bad boy comes with massive 571 horsepower and remains one of AMG’s top projects so far.

However, Posaidon team has proved that is not the end of boundary-pushing ideology, as it comes to technology and advanced engineering solutions. In pure AMG manner, the vehicle remains visually untouched, but the whole drivetrain system has undergone numerous procedures and revisions. And this is where Posaidon takes place – the engineers have decided to make some more touches and see whether the premium machine can endure even more refinement. For this reason, the AMG vehicle received optimized downpipe, sporty air filters and new air intake kit. This results in boosting the overall power to the amazing 880hp, enough to take the automobile to a top speed of 358km/h. Torque output was also raised to a total of 1,200Nm.

And the thing we also like about this one is that Posaidon team has tweaked the visuals of the vehicle. There are new carbon-fiber splitter in the front bumper, rear spoiler lip and diffuser insert. Also, the vehicle can be specified with exclusive 9.5×20-inch ET25 and 10×20-inch ET55 AMG forged wheels with matte black Y-spokes. Cool, right?

This Mercedes-AMG A45 makes it to 100 km/h in just 3.5 seconds! We thank POSAIDON for that

POSAIDON A45 RS485+ is a true 315 km/h sportscar hunter!

As Mercedes-Benz A-Class driver, I’m always hyped when a tuner goes for this model. This time the heroes in my eyes are the experts at POSAIDON, which has given their best to modify the hottest among hatchbacks – the Mercedes-AMG A45 is the hottest of the hot hatchbacks.

Besides the beautiful looks, the car is the most powerful among its range: its original output is measured at 360 hp (235 kW) that were increased to 381 hp (280 kW) via last year’s facelift. What’s making the driving experience even more exciting is the relatively modest weight of the A45, the intelligent all-wheel system and the exhilarating 7-speed DCT. Potent, right?

Well, on this fantastic basis are working the tuning specialists at POSAIDON, who have improved the sleeping potential of this hatch. Lo and behold, the A45 RS485+ was born! And by the way, this is the most potent interpretation of AMG A45 so far!

The goal was to produce nothing less than 500 hp. So, to achieve this, the first thing POSAIDON did was substitute the standard turbocharger with a racing one. The latter features bespoke larger turbine. Added to the impeller wheels and gas-flowed scroll housing, this is allowing the unit to process the required amount of air and to use a higher boost pressure.

The next step was to scrutinize the air intake system to ensure that the big turbo gets as much air as it needs. Then low restriction air filter and high efficiency intercooler were too mounted.

Step three was to improve the other side of the engine, namely – the exhaust. This happened with the means of optimized, larger diameter, stainless steel downpipe with the option of a free-flow, 200-cell catalytic converter. Everything else in the exhaust stays unchanged. The result is reduced exhaust gas temperatures and thermal stress on the engine and cooling system. At last, POSAIDON remapped the engine and transmission software, in order to make full advantage of the hardware upgrades.

What happened at the dyno tests? Besides the aimed 500 hp, the car showed capability of 555 Nm (404 lb-ft) of torque. The top speed is electronically limited to 315 km/h, meaning it can go far beyond this. The stopwatch? Well, it recorder something remarkable: 0-100 km/h sprint in just 3.5 seconds!

To tame this extra power, POSAIDON also tuned the uprated front brake kit with the addition of 365×34 mm vented steel discs, clamped by six-pot callipers. Steel brake hoses contribute for a firmer and better pedal feel.

I would love driving this beautiful piece of art. How about you?

Mercedes-AMG E63 better than Bugatti and LaFerrari?

POSAIDON 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.

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.

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

Posaidon Mercedes-AMG A45 4MATIC Front View Posaidon 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.

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.

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 View Posaidon 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.

Posaidon with Two More Powerful Mercedes-AMGs

Posaidon has just released not one but two incredible tunings of Mercedes C63 AMG and AMG GT models. There is one common thing about those two and it is that they are powered by the 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 engine. The difference is in the nature of their lubrication. Precisely, the AMG GT has dry sump lubrication, while the other car utilizes a conventional wet sump system. Well, there is another thing in common and this is the direct re-programming delivered by Posaidon.

The standard output of the two-seater is 462 hp (340 kW) and 600 Nm (443 lb-ft) of torque, while its more powerful S version produces 510 hp (375 kW) and 650 Nm (480 lb-ft). After the conversion, both cars are capable of 630 hp (463 kW) and 725 Nm (535 lb-ft) of torque and a 337 km/h top speed.

In addition, the standard numbers of the C63 AMG are as follow: 476 hp (350 kW) and 650 Nm (480 lb-ft) and 510 hp (375 kW) and 700 Nm (517 lb-ft) in the S form. After the ECU, they were changed to 610 hp (449 kW) and 800 Nm (590 lb-ft) of torque. The top speed here is positioned at 328km/h.

The engine of the C-Class is mated to an AMG SPEEDSHIFT MCT 7-speed sports transmission, while this of the AMG GT to an AMG SPEEDSHIFT DCT 7G dual-clutch transmission, which explains why the torque of the latter car is lower.

Furthermore, Posaidon engineers are currently working on additional updates for the M177 and M178 engines. For their improvement they will use new turbochargers, free-flow exhaust systems and other hardware changes. At last, for additional safety, the tuners offer speed camera warning system which is integrated within the factory navigation system.
