Brabus has taken the Mercedes-AMG GT 63 S 4-Door
Coupe and fitted it with their :800″ package. This means a comprehensive tuning
job, inside and out, and a power level that exceeds that of most supercars
today.
The Germany company, which specializes in upgrading
Mercs, has fitted two newly-designed turbochargers to the 4.0-liter V8. They
have also recalibrated the ECU, and the result is spectacular: 800 PS and 1,000 Nm of torque. Compared to the stock GT 63 S,
it’s 161 PS and 100 Nm of torque more powerful. It
sprints to 100 km/h 0.3 seconds faster, in just 2.9 seconds, whereas
top speed remains electronically limited to 315 km/h.
Optimizing the power delivery and improving the
soundtrack is the stainless steel exhaust system that features active flaps and
titanium/carbon 90 mm tailpipes, and can be operated in two modes:
Sport and Coming Home (almost Normal)h.
The tuned AMG GT 63 S features new naked-carbon
components, optimized in the wind tunnel, which stabilize the car furthermore
at high speeds. They’re available in high-gloss or matte coating and include
the apron and attachments for the larger air intakes in the bumper at the
front, as well as the diffuser insert side panels at the back.
Contributing to the more menacing look are the
10x5x21-inch front and 12×22-inch rear wheels, wrapped in 275/35 and 335/25
high-performance tires, respectively, from Pirelli, Continental or Yokohama.
These have been designed to fill the wheel arches with the plug-and-play module
adapted to the air suspension, which lowers the ride height by 25 mm.
A selection of leather and Alcantara, as well as
precious-wood or genuine-carbon inlays in different colors and specifications,
transforms the way the cabin looks. The car pictured in the Gallery sports
perforated black leather and white elements with decorative topstitching, as
well as Alcantara inserts. Rounding up the list of changes are the stainless
steel scuff plates, backlit with the tuner’s logo, aluminum door pins, pedals
and paddle shifters.
The Brabus AMG GT 63 S is making its public premiere
at the Top Marques Monaco that takes place from May 30 to June 3.
