MERCEDES-BENZ S-CLASS

The S 63 AMG Coupe is hardly a slouch in factory form, with its 5.5-litre twin-turbo V8 belting out 430kW and 900Nm. However, if this level of performance is well under your threshold, it’s good to know there is a solution.

Mansory has developed an under-bonnet package which lifts output to an incredible 662kW of power and an insane 1300Nm of torque. Maximum torque is actually electronically limited to give the transmission – and tyres – bonus life credits.

If that’s too much, the firm also offers a 530kW and 1100Nm tune. The extra oomph comes via the installation of new, stronger conrods, a special crankshaft, custom manifolds, and larger turbochargers. Some other components are also replaced by Mansory as well.

Thanks to these changes in engine character, the S 63 AMG can cover 0-100km/h in just 3.3 seconds. If you keep it nailed, if you have the courage, the sleek coupe will keep soaring until the 300km/h speed limiter is hit.
