The Mercedes-AMG G63 is one of the most ostentatious
vehicles on sale but German tuner Posaidon has decided to make the SUV even
crazier.
Whereas the G63’s 5.5-liter twin-turbo V8 typically
produces 571 hp, Posaidon has lifted that figure to a full-bodied 850 hp and
995 lb-ft of torque. This allows for a 0-100 km/h time of just 3.6
seconds and a 285 km/h top speed.
Posaidon was able to achieve such significant power
gains for its G63 RS 850 package thanks to a remapped ECU and upgraded
transmission internals. Alongside these upgrades, the G63 RS 850 has new
adaptive dampers, 22x10.5-inch alloy wheels with 285/30 tires and brake
calipers straight from the S63 AMG.
Customers also have the option of tweaking the
interior with this particular G63 complete with numerous carbon fiber accents,
yellow contrast stitching, and quilted leather.
