Mercedes-AMG GLS 63 with 838 HP

Mercedes-AMG GLS 63 is the largest SUV, but also one of the most powerful cars of the German manufacturer. However, for those who want more, Mansory has prepared a special equipment kit that brings new design solutions but also more horsepower.

The standard Mercedes-AMG GLS 63 is powered by a twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V-8 engine with 603 hp (443 kW) and 627 lb-ft (850 Nm) of torque. However, thanks to a software upgrade, the SUV delivers 710 hp (522 kW) and 737 lb-ft (1,000 Nm), and with an improved turbocharger, a sports exhaust system, a new downpipe and a new air filter, the output increases to 838 hp (616 kW) and 811 lb -ft (1,100 Nm) of torque. Power is transmitted to all wheels via a nine-speed automatic transmission.

The Mansory equipment kit includes a carbon body, a carbon hood, a front lip spoiler, two different models of the rear diffuser, fender extensions, a roof spoiler, and a black or chrome bumper.

The luxurious interior of the standard three-row GLS 63 is decorated with wooden and chrome accessories, as well as seats covered in soft leather, which can also be seen on the dashboard and door panels. However, Mansory offers customization of the interior of the car, with leather and velour floor mats and trunk mats included.

2023 Mercedes-AMG C63

After more than a year of development and testing, in two days Mercedes-AMG will present the latest generation of the C-Class, the C63, and the announcement was made with teaser photos.

The car is covered in light camouflage that covers some important places that Mercedes-AMG wants to keep as a surprise until the official premiere. It has already been announced that the new C63 will be powered by a 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo engine combined with a rear electric motor that will deliver a total of over 600 hp (441 kW). Power will be sent to all wheels via a 9-speed automatic transmission. It will hit 62 mph in 3.5 seconds which is faster than the current BMW.

This means that Mercedes-AMG has definitely given up on the V8 engine when it comes to the C63. Also, Mercedes-AMG will offer the C-Class as a station wagon. The car will be equipped with a set of 19-inch wheels with standard cast-iron brakes behind, a new rear diffuser, a 61 kWh battery, quad exhaust outlets, panamericana grille, full-width lower intakes and will use the standard C-class’s body.

The car was on display at the recent Goodwood Festival of Speed, but even then it was covered in light camouflage.

The delivery of the Mercedes-AMG One will begin soon

Mercedes premiered its powerful concept One in 2017 at the Frankfurt Motor Show. But no one even thought that the development, testing and problem solving, on the hybrid “beast” that comes with the Formula 1 engine, would take five years. Since then, the car has undergone many changes, and Mercedes-AMG has announced that it will produce only 275 copies of this model.

The Mercedes-AMG One is powered by a 1.6-liter Formula 1 V6 turbo engine with 566 hp (422 kW) at 11,000 rpm, which in combination with four electric motors delivers a total of 1,049 hp (771 kW). That’s enough power for this supercar to reach 62 mph in 2.9 seconds, 124 mph (200 km / h) in less than six seconds with a top speed of 217 mph (350 km / h). The engine is paired with a 7-speed gearbox. And yes, the engine meets Euro 6 standards.

The Mercedes-AMG One is one of the fastest road cars in the world, and everyone is waiting for it to show its performance on the most famous Nürburgring Nordschleife race track. It is equipped with an 8.4 kWh lithium-ion battery that allows the 1,695 kilogram hybrid plug-in car to travel 20 kilometers without the assistance of an internal combustion engine.

Each car will go through 16 stations for assembly and testing, something like the production process of luxury watches. More than 50 people work in the production of the Mercedes-AMG One, and after assembly, each car will be tested.

Although it was announced that the first copies would reach their owners at the end of last year, that did not happen. The reason is technical problems that caused a halt in development. In the meantime, AMG has finally managed to solve all the technical problems and the delivery can start.
