As you likely know Mercedes and Mercedes-AMG bi-turbo ECU's were cracked allowing OBD-II tuning. Yes, you do not have send your ECU in to be manually unlocked and if you have a bi-turbo motor or turbo four-cylinder Mercedes engine you can get an OBD-II remote tune now. ...Published on 11-13-2018 10:14 PM
Carwow brings us four SUV's but not the four fastest on the market. This would be much more interesting with a Jeep Trackhawk in place of the Range Rover and the smaller Mercedes-AMG GLC63 taking the place of the brick shaped G-Wagon. ...Published on 11-13-2018 09:56 PM
Great news from Autotuner who just continues to expand their compatibility list. The tuning tool now supports OBD-II reads/writes for various new gasoline and diesel Mercedes and Mercedes-AMG applications. ...Published on 11-13-2018 08:28 PM
You have to give HRE props here for doing something different as their new designs seemed to stagnate. The end result here is not the most aesthetically pleasing wheel as it looks like something out of a Lego Technic kit but it certainly is different and points toward future design methods. ...Published on 11-07-2018 06:13 PM
McLaren kicked dust in Ferrari's face since they launched the MP4-12C back in 2011. It was not even close between the two. Well, it appears the 488 Pista is Ferrari finally fighting back if Autocar's 2018 best driver's car results are to be believed. ...Published on 11-06-2018 03:12 PM
This is an interesting setup and drag racers have messed around with volute injection for a while now. Essentially, you are spraying water/methanol directly into the compressor housing. Prometh says this increases the efficiency of the compressor output. ...Published on 11-05-2018 05:21 PM
This is interesting as not only is AMG's current M133 2.0 liter four-cylinder the production engine power king but AMG is kicking dust in Volkswagen's face with this motor on purpose. Why? Because Volkswagen poached the man responsible for designing the M133 engine in the first place. ...Published on 11-05-2018 04:23 PM
Everyone knows the advantages of carbon fiber and various modern composites. Light weight while having very high strength. Metal still rules the engine building world but consider carbon fiber connecting rods for a moment. ...Published on 11-01-2018 02:55 PM
This is so idiotic on so many levels it is difficult to even express the stupidity involved. This is a Korean street race video and the Mustang is the camera car. It races a Mercedes-AMG A45 through traffic although you do not see the AMG due to the camera angle until the very end when the Mustang inevitably crashes. ...Published on 10-31-2018 10:52 AM
A lot of money is being thrown around by Sentinel Capital Partners and their latest acquisition is the well known Holley Performance Products brand. This brand will be combined with Driven Performance Performance Brands. ...Published on 10-29-2018 02:06 PM
Remember the HP Tuners MPVI2 release? If not, it is an OBD-II device with bluetooth that has internal logging. Is is capable of scanning, storing, diagnostics, logging, and ECU calibrations and now supports all Mercedes-AMG motors except the M177/M178. ...Published on 10-29-2018 12:46 PM
While this is a very cool comparison test by Car and Driver the choice of the GT3 is a mistake. Why? Because the 911 in the comparison should be the 911 GTS. The GT3 while fitting in by the nature of its price is more raw and a race car facsimile than the others. ...Published on 10-25-2018 10:10 PM
Remember when people said the C63 AMG would have a huge advantage over BMW this generation due to the M3/M4 running a smaller inline-6? Well, those debates are long over and there is something to be said for efficiency. ...Published on 10-25-2018 09:35 PM
Hot damn is that a ton of torque! Impressively the driveline is holding together without issue on this W213 Mercedes-AMG E63 S which features the AMR Performance P1 Package. The package consists of Weistec air filters, blow off valves, and AMR's software. ...Published on 10-24-2018 07:44 PM
It is convenient for Mercedes to refer to the sedan aspects of the AMG GT 4-door when it is time to claim the production sedan record on the Nurburgring. Despite the confusing 'coupe' nomenclature the AMG GT S 4Matic+ 4-door now holds the Nurburgring production 4-door lap record. ...
