Mercedes-AMG GT R with 891 HP

German company BS Teile Center, which specializes in selling used parts for Mercedes cars, has equipped the Mercedes-AMG GT R with plenty of Pro model parts, but has also increased engine power to an incredible 891 hp.

Due to access to the many AMG components used, the car has got front bumper, fenders, rear fender sills, rear bumper and GT R Pro diffuser. The headlights and taillights were also changed, and the tuner added its name to the lines on both sides of the car. The gold brake calipers of the GT R model were removed and the black ones taken from the GT R Pro model were installed.

The base AMG GT R is powered by a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 engine with 577 hp (430 kW) and 516 lb-ft (700 Nm) of torque. BS Teile Center has installed new Weistec Engineering W.4 turbochargers, increasing power to 891 hp (655 kW). ARMA carbon suction, Wagner cooler and IPE downpipe with 200-cell sports catalysts are installed. The engine is paired with a painted 7-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox. It is mounted on a titanium gray 20-inch rim wrapped in Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires.

Although it lacks an aerodynamic component the Mercedes-AMG GT R is impressive even for the Black Series. As a reminder, the Black Series is powered by a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 engine with 720 hp (530 kW) and 590 lb-ft (800 Nm) of torque. It reaches 62 mph in 3.1 seconds with an electronically limited top speed of 199 mph (320 km / h).

Optical illusion in the tunnel

We can see everything on the roads, even what seems unreal at first glance. Thus, a recently published video on social media shows an optical illusion in a tunnel. The video attracted a lot of attention and had over 20 million views.

The person who made this unusual video stopped at the entrance to the tunnel and recorded the illusion that led many drivers to brake. At first glance, the video shows a big hole in the road. However, when the driver approached, it could be noticed that it was a large pond on the left side of the road, which reflected the picture of the wall. Many drivers reacted instinctively and went to the right line.

A driver can be heard saying, “I thought I was high. That is just a pit.” Also, we can see the drivers of Toyota and Audi Q3 who slowly passed through the tunnel witnessing this unusual phenomenon.

This could be a good warning for all drivers to reduce their speed and be careful when entering the tunnel, because this illusion could be real and it can be fatal.
