Most of G-Power’s
tuning experience may come from creating other-worldly BMWs, but the tuner’s
latest Mercedes-AMG E63 S shows that it is just as capable working with the
Three-Pointed Star. This particular E63 S Estate is the previous-generation
model and the 603 hp 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 now delivers a nice, round 800 hp
and 1000 Nm of torque.
To achieve these
numbers, G-Power has fitted new performance software, custom turbochargers,
stainless steel downpipes and a stainless steel exhaust. For E 63 S owners who
don’t want the full upgrade package, each of these components can be ordered
separately. The software starts at 2437 euros (US$ 2783), the turbos from 5000
euros (US$ 5711), the downpipes from 2240 euros (US$ 2558) and the exhaust is priced
at 3866 euros (US$ 4415).
G-Power has also developed a set of 20-inch
Hurricane wheels shorn with 245/30 rubber at the front and 285/25 at the rear.
These beefy tires should help to transmit the power to the ground without too
much fuss.
If E63 S owners opt
for all of G-Power’s modifications, the total bill will exceed 20,000 euros
(US$ 23,000). However, if you own an E63 S and feel the need for even more speed,
you can probably afford the price of a small hot hatch this kind of oomph.
