Poseidon GT 63 RS 830+. Because the 639 hp of the Mercedes-AMG GT 63S 4 Doors "knows little"

Anonim

After a year already dedicated to giving more muscle to the Mercedes-AMG GT 63S 4 Doors, Poseidon "returned to the charge" and the result is called Poseidon GT 63 RS 830+.

Normally, the 4.0l, V8, twin-turbo that equips the Mercedes-AMG GT 63 S 4-door offers 639 hp and 900 Nm. However, for the German company Posaidon, that value is not enough and the result is the car we are talking about today.

Designated Posaidon GT 63 RS 830+, this presents itself with 940 hp and 1278 Nm, figures that allow it to reach a maximum speed of 350 km/h and meet 0 to 100 km/h in 2.9s.

How did you get it?

By now you should be asking a simple question: how did you manage to extract another 300 hp and 378 Nm from the “hot V” engine?

Well, for starters, they changed the bearings on the turbos. Then they improved the air intake system, the intercooler and even the cylinder heads.

In addition to all this, we also have a new exhaust system and, of course, improvements in terms of the ECU.

But there is more. Posaidon also offered the GT 63 RS 830+ a water/methanol injection system, all to increase the pressure of the turbos without subjecting the engine to higher thermal loads.

The water/methanol injection system tank is located under the luggage compartment floor.

For now, the price of Posaidon's latest creation remains to be seen. However, one thing is certain: it will only be sold outside Germany.

Interestingly, in the country of origin not only the model but also the preparer, this will only be available in a version with 830 hp and 1100 Nm.
