We have lost track of the number of tuners that have
added the Mercedes-AMG GT to their portfolio a long time ago. However, there’s
one name that we won’t forget in the near future, and that’s O.CT.
The German company has reprogrammed the ECU of the
4.0-liter, twin-turbo V8 that powers the AMG GT R and has managed to obtain an
impressive 650 PS and 850 Nm of torque, compared
to the standard car’s 585 PS and 700 Nm.
Aside from the bump in power, which has definitely
dropped the 0-100 km/h sprint that normally takes an already
impressive 3.6 seconds, O.CT promises improved fuel consumption and consistent
carbon dioxide emissions too. They’re also offering the optimization with a
5-year warranty – but they don’t disclose a price, so interested parties will
have to contact them.
On that particular car, black is the dominating
color and has been used not only on all body panels, but on the Panamericana
grille, wheels and pretty much everywhere else. O.CT hasn’t opened the doors of
the tuned GT R in front of the camera, so the interior has probably remained
the same – which, given the stock car’s impeccable quality and stunning design,
is a plus in our book.
