The Mercedes-AMG S63 has 612 horsepower and 664 pound-feet of torque, but what if that is not enough? Well, according to the famous tuner Posaidon, this is not the case, which is why we are looking at this tuned version of the S63 today. The same 4.0-liter V-8 is located under the hood, but it now has an improved turbocharger and upgraded ball bearings, a new intake system and an improved exhaust system, with a new downpipe and sports catalytic converter Device. Finally, Posaidon S 63 RS 830 has up to 880 horsepower and 885 pound-feet of torque. This kind of power allows the S63 to reach 60 mph in 3.2 seconds and a top speed of 217 mph.

However, this is not the end of the story. Posaidon is undergoing another upgrade to increase the final output to 940 horsepower and 944 pound-feet of torque. Unfortunately, Posaidon has not revealed the straight-line performance data of this upgrade, but it seems safe to speculate that the speed of 60 mph will run smoothly in about 3 seconds. At this point, the two upgrades we have discussed so far include physical upgrades, so if you are not interested in Posaidon, with a simple car computer recalibration, Posaidon can provide you with up to 707 horsepower and 737 pound-feet of torque. system. The electronic lowering module of the AIRMATIC air suspension makes the whole transaction more complete, which will give the S63 more sporty accuracy and more dynamic handling.

The Mercedes S-Class sedan is generally regarded as a dignified, high-end luxury liner-a common driver-driven sedan preferred by executives and political leaders. Moreover, although AMG models have more compelling features, it is still unfair to expect them to match the performance values ​​of thoroughbred supercars. However, after the POSAIDON experts are upgraded, the AMG model can do this. This fact is even more surprising since the upgrade involves almost no changes to the appearance of the vehicle. The long wheelbase S 63 4MATIC shown here is a typical example.

Following the facelift in 2017, the S 63 (W222) uses the same 4.0-liter V8 twin-turbocharged (M177DE40AL) engine as the other series, combined with all-wheel drive and a nine-speed automatic transmission. The AMG shown has been converted into RS 830, which is a happy medium of three hardware-based upgrade levels provided by POSAIDON. Upgraded ball bearing turbocharger, sports air filter and new downspout with sports catalytic converter, as well as corresponding software for the engine, gearbox and powertrain (CPC) control unit, make the output power up to 880 horsepower and a maximum torque of 1,200 Nm. As a result, this heavy car sprinted from 0-100 km/h in 3.2 seconds! Its maximum speed is limited to 350 km/h.

However, for customers looking for more powerful functions, POSAIDON also provides a top-level tuned version of M177-also known as RS 830. In addition to the aforementioned upgrades, this also involves modifications to the cylinder head and valve seat, as well as the installation of a water/methanol injection system. The result is approximately 940 horsepower and 1,280 Nm of maximum torque.

On the other hand, the entry-level upgrade-RS 830-has been blessed by TÜV. The number in the name represents its output power, which is 830 hp and the maximum torque is 1,100 Nm. This improvement is achieved by upgrading the turbocharger and sports air filter, downpipes equipped with a sports catalytic converter, and three control units (engine, gearbox and powertrain) used in other upgrade levels Realized by combining optimized software.

POSAIDON also provides a solution for customers seeking performance upgrades without modifying their car hardware. Only by optimizing the three control units of the engine, transmission and power system, performance can be significantly improved. In this case, these software adjustments alone can make the M177 reach 707 horsepower and 1,000 Nm of maximum torque.

In addition to upgrading to the V8 engine, the samples shown here also benefit from subtle visual improvements, namely the electronic lowering module for the AIRMATIC air suspension. This makes it possible to lower the body as needed to create a more dynamic appearance.
