Mercedes-AMG S63 Coupe by G-Power
G-Power has a thing for converting
really fast cars into missiles. The latest vehicle to undergo such a
transformation is the Mercedes-AMG S63 Coupe.
The Big Merc does little to
reveal what lies under the hood, but the stock 585 PS and 900 Nm of torque, 5.5-litre, twin-turbocharged V8 is more than capable of
holding its own against the big boys.
If someone wants more than to keep up with
certain supercars, the aftermarket specialist offers a significant power boost
for the model, to 705 PS and 1000 Nm, culminating in a
uber-luxury machine capable of sprinting from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.8
seconds in its mission to go beyond 325 km/h.
The upgrading process is done via G-Power’s
plug-and-play Bi-Tronik 5 V1 module, that is placed between the factory ECU and
the engine, and offers an extra 120 PS and 100 Nm when needed (full throttle
triggers it). What’s even more impressive is that the torque figure is
electronically limited as a safety measure.
To make sure the engine won't destroy
itself, the module becomes active only at prescribed oil temperatures and
deactivates then the engine coolant reaches the factory permitted engine
temperature.
