MANHART ER 800

From the Manhart workshop comes a high-performance sports car, the MANHART ER 800. This sports car is based on the Mercedes models AMG E 63 and E 63 S.

The car is painted in matte black as a typical MANHART finish. At the front there is a black grille with gold decorations. It is equipped with an adjustable air suspension that allows the vehicle height to be lowered by 20 or 30 mm using software adjustment.

Under the hood is a 4.0-liter biturbo V8 engine with 809 hp (595 kW) and 789 lb-ft (1070 Nm) of torque. Compared to the standard model which has 612 hp (450 kW) and 627 lb-ft (850 Nm) of torque, this is more than impressive. This performance is achieved thanks to the new intercooler, air intake and remapped ECU unit.

When it comes to braking and safe stopping, the car is equipped with a set of ceramic brakes with 405×38 mm discs. It rides on 21-inch rims with 255/30 ZR21 (front) and 295/25 ZR21 (rear) tires. Rims can be ordered in the color of your choice.

Only 5 copies of this sports car will be made. If you want to upgrade your own AMG E 63 model these are some of the prices:

  • Engine upgrade $ 21,108 (€ 17,999)
  • carbon intake adds $ 5,430 (€ 4,630)
  • exhaust system $ 9,968 (€ 8,499)
  • downpipes $ 3,400 (€ 2,899)
  • carbon or ceramic tailpipes $ 821 (€ 700)
  • rims $ 9,614 (€ 8,200)

Mercedes-AMG EV

During the recent Munich Motor Show, Mercedes unveiled several all-electric concepts. It seems that the company has completely turned to the production of zero-emission cars. This time it’s a Mercedes-AMG EV.

Speaking to Top Gear, Mercedes COO Markus Schäfer said it is not easy to make a good-looking electric convertible. Reduced demand for convertibles, primarily in China and Europe, could jeopardize the future of this project. What gives hope to Mercedes, according to Schäfer, is an attractive product and an emotional product that builds the brand.

“When you think about AMG and turning AMG into an electric brand, we will definitely think about a cabriolet as well.”

It remains to be seen in what form it will appear and how it will position itself on the market, in relation to the coming rivals.

Speaking of electric convertibles, it should be reminded of the Vision Mercedes-Maybach 6 Cabriolet. It is an electric car with a sharp feature line, which attracts attention at first sight. With 750 hp and a range of 311 miles, the Vision Mercedes-Maybach 6 Cabriolet was a revelation of luxury. It reaches 62 mph in less than 4 seconds with an electronically limited top speed of 155 mph (250 km / h).

2022 Mercedes EQS AMG

At this year’s IAA in Munich, Mercedes will unveil the AMG version of the EQS model. The high-performance car will arrive on the American market at the beginning of 2022.

The all-electric sedan is powered by an electric motor with 751 hp and 752 lb-ft of torque. It reaches 62 mph in 3.4 seconds with a top speed of 155 mph (249 km / h). EQS achieves this performance thanks to the AMG Dynamic Plus Package in Race Start mode. For comparison, the standard EQS has 649 hp (483 kW) and 700 lb-ft (516 Nm) of torque. The AMG EQS has the same battery pack as the standard EQS. The range of the AMG model is not known. Given that the base EQS has a range of 478 miles (700 kilometers), we hope that AMG engineers have worked on this segment as well.

The AMG package brought several new things such as 21-inch alloy wheels with 17-inch front brake discs or a high-performance ceramic composite brake system as an option, while retaining the standard body. There’s also a new front splitter, a bigger rear wing, and a diffuser.

Inside, heated massage seats upholstered in the finest materials, a full-length MBUX Hyperscreen, sports pedals, a panoramic roof and a lot of AMG branding are some of the standard equipment brought by the AMG package.

The price of this model is not known. It is certain that the AMG equipment package brings improved performance compared to the standard model and that it will not be cheap.
