The German tuner with the upside-down trident logo has come up with three boost options for the Mercedes-AMG E63 S sedan and wagon. Both can reach 350 km/h with the tuning done properly. Many tuners regard ‘Stage 1’ upgrades as simple chip tunes, but this has never been the case with Posaidon. Its Stage 1 kit consists of improved turbochargers, a sports-grade air filter, and downpipes with catalysts. Software receives improvements across the engine, gearbox, and drivetrain as a whole.
The net result is 830 PS and 1,100 Nm of torque. The car needs 3.2 seconds to hit 100 km/h from standstill and only limits itself electronically to 350 km/h because of the risk of tire failure.
Stage 2 switches the turbos out for
high-end spherical ones, culminating in 880 PS and 1,200 Nm of torque. Finally, Stage 3 necessitates some machining done on the
valve housings and the cylinder head assembly, as well as the installation of a
methanol injection system. When all is set up, the transmission gets hit with
940 PS and 1,280 Nm of torque. Prices are not
public, but the kind of tuning Posaidon does never comes cheaply. Those wishing
to save money and still put the overturned trident badge on their E-Class may
opt for a Chiptune package that promises ‘only’ 707 PS and
1,000 Nm.
