While it’s true that nowadays you can look
at even the quickest Mercedes-AMG saloon models and argue that they’ll simply
get obliterated to 60 mph by something like a Tesla Model S, we all know that
there’s more to performance than just 0-60 times or 1/4 mile times.
It’s about grunt, agility, aesthetics and
of course noise. We’re definitely going to miss internal combustion engines
when carmakers are going to start replicating twin-turbo V8 growls through some
EV’s speakers.
Speaking of twin-turbo V8 engines,
we’re here to talk about the Brabus-tuned Mercedes-AMG GT 63 S 4-door model,
which was introduced last summer in this configuration. Now though, you can
check it out in more detail thanks to this 94-image mega gallery. The German
tuner opted to install two new turbochargers while also fiddling with the ECU
for a total of 800 PS and 1,000 Nm of torque. As a result,
this modded AMG GT 63 S 4-door will nail 100 km/h in just 2.9 seconds
– 0.3 seconds faster than the stock variant. Top speed meanwhile is
electronically limited to 315 km/h.
Other additions include the custom
stainless steel exhaust system with active flaps and titanium/carbon tailpipes.
The visuals are pretty impressive too thanks to the naked-carbon components,
available in high-gloss or matte: apron, intakes, diffuser, spoiler lip and so
on. Then you’ve got the 21/22-inch wheels (front/rear), wearing 275/35 and
335/25 tires from either Pirelli, Continental or Yokohama.
As for the interior, there’s the Alcantara
steering wheel, decorative stitching, stainless steel inserts and the tuner’s
logos spread throughout the cabin.
