Mercedes AMG GT R Roadster by Posaidon

The German tuner Posaidon, specialized in Mercedes cars, has improved another AMG model. It is a Mercedes AMG GT R Roadster with an impressive 880 hp and a top speed of 224 mph.

This outstanding Roadster with impressive performance comes with four equipment packages. The Stage 1 offers a twin turbocharged 4.0-liter V8 engine of 780 hp (574 kW) and 627 lb-ft (850 Nm) of torque, thanks to standard turbochargers and a modified ECU.

The Stage 2 package (RS 830) offers 830 hp (610 kW) and 701 lb-ft (950 Nm) of torque. Stage 3 (830+) offers the highest performance, delivering 880 hp (647 kW) and 738 lb-ft (1,000 Nm) of torque. This package comes with a better sports exhaust system, a modified ECU, forged pistons, 20-inch forged wheels and a better steering system, and many other improvements.

The most powerful package allows the GT R to reach 62 mph (100 km / h) in 2.9 seconds with a top speed of 224 mph (360 km / h). The engine is paired with an upgraded seven-speed dual-clutch transmission.

All packages offer better performance than the Mercedes AMG GT Black Series. As a reminder, the Black Series is powered by a twin turbo 4.0-liter V8 engine with 730 hp and 590 lb-ft (800 Nm) of torque. It reaches 62 mph in 3.2 seconds with a top speed of 201 mph (323 km / h).

1969 Ford Mustang with Mercedes AMG powertrain

Have you ever wondered, what would look like an American car with a Mercedes AMG engine? Check out the 1969 Ford Mustang, which has been brought back to life.

Anarchy Garage, a UK-based company, found a 1969 Mustang in very poor condition. The project cost £ 24,000 ($ 33,000), which includes the purchase of cars and AMG parts.

The classic exterior look has been retained, while the drivetrain and interior have undergone changes. A Mercedes dashboard, center console, steering wheel, transmission, as well as seats are installed.

Under the hood is a 5.5-liter twin-turbo V8 engine with 721 hp and 885 lb-ft (1,200 Nm) of torque. It is the same engine used by the 2021 Mercedes E63 AMG. The car is equipped with a seven-speed automatic transmission and rear-wheel drive, and a limited slip differential.

The revived Mustang uses a set of 19-inch tires, and for a safe stop there are six-piston front brakes and four-piston rear brakes.
