The Mercedes-Benz G-Class, which was introduced more than four decades ago, has always had off-road capability as its main advantage. However, the versatility and popularity of this SUV has also led to the development of very fast AMG versions.
The latest Mercedes-Benz G63 AMG, launched in 2018, has the potential for a power increase that allows it to deliver the dynamic performance of a sports car.
The 4.0-litre, twin-turbo V8 petrol engine fitted as standard in this car delivers more than 580 horsepower and 850 Nm of torque. But StartLine Motors can significantly improve these parameters according to customer requirements.
Those who want more power but don't want to make mechanical upgrades to their car can opt for first stage. In this case, only software changes will be made to the engine and gearbox control computers, which increases the G63 AMG's output to 730 horsepower and 1000 Nm.
Some mechanical modifications will have to be made if such a Mercedes-Benz is intended to increase output to 750 horsepower and torque to 1050 Nm. This will be achieved by fitting a new exhaust system and modifying the air intake systems to reduce their restrictiveness.
New turbochargers and increased efficiency of the intercoolers are part of the third stage of the power boost package for the G63 AMG. These modifications increase the engine's output to 800 horsepower and 1100 Nm of torque.
900 horsepower and 1200 Nm of torque are the parameters that can be achieved with the introduction of the StartLine Motors fourth stage engine enhancement package for this Mercedes-Benz SUV. In addition to the modifications already listed, the gearbox will need to be strengthened.
It is important to note that although the automatic gearbox fitted to the G63 AMG is strong and capable of withstanding the high power output, the removal of the electronic limiters is necessary in order to reach its full potential when performing any level of power increase. Failure to do so will restrict the torque transmitted to the wheels and therefore prevent the car from achieving the dynamic performance provided by the increased engine power.
Removing gearbox limiters is a complex process requiring specific knowledge. StartLine Motors is one of the few that can do the job and unlock the full potential of the Mercedes-Benz G63 AMG, giving this SUV dynamic performance on par with sports cars.
