There are instances when vehicle manufacturers would make mountains out of molehills when it comes to what they offer in the market. Some of these luxury vehicles may be too hyped up that they end up letting down some of their most avid fans, to say the least. But, there are also instances when they would understate the capabilities of their offering in the market.
This is what happened to the Mansory-tuned Mercedes-Benz S63 AMG Coupe, which was seen up close recently, as indicated on a report from autoevolution.com. While Mansory has the penchant for exaggerating, the S63 AMG they tuned showed much more than what they initially revealed when it was released into the market. The Diamond Edition, the name given to their version of the luxury coupe, received a good amount of attention from onlookers as the driver searched for the most ideal parking spot.
The upgrades given to the Mercedes-Benz S63 AMG Coupe Diamond Edition increased the power output and torque of its 5.5-liter twin-turbo V8 engine to 985 HP and 1,400 Nm, respectively. The list of upgrades and replacements is quite long, and it includes the bearings, crankshaft twin turbines and connecting rods.
The solid performance of the Diamond Edition is a testament to the work of the people of the German luxury vehicle modification company. It is also important to take into account that the torque was already electronically limited to ensure it will not overwhelm its transmission system.
The sound produced by the engine of the Mercedes-Benz S63 AMG Coupe Diamond Edition is quite impressive, and it can be likened to the growl of a mountain lion on the prowl for its prey. While the visual enhancements given by Mansory to the luxury coupe leave a lot to be desired, which is true to a number of its tuning packages, the boost in output can turn any unbeliever into a believer.
The Mercedes-Benz S63 AMG Coupe Diamond Edition of Mansory is capable of accelerating from 0 to 100 km/h or 62 mph within 3.2 seconds while its electronically-limited top speed is at 300 km/h or 186 mph.
