Remember back in 2017 when the AMG GT R Black Series was supposed to be on its way? Well, it may be late but here it is testing at the Nurburgring. The C190 AMG GT R Black Series looks incredibly aggressive although the exhaust sound is curiously muted. ...Published on 10-21-2019 07:22 PM
Nearly 125 mile per hour out of the Mercedes-AMG M276 DELA30 twin turbo V6 is impressive. As is the new quickest and fastest record for the W205 C43 AMG platform. The icing on the cake is that it was achieved on the factory turbochargers. ...Published on 10-21-2019 01:02 PM
This is a major win for farmers selling corn who lobbied the Trump administration regarding larger purchases of ethanol. What does this mean for car enthusiasts? It means more ethanol. You will see more ethanol in your gasoline and E15 will see greater adoption. ...Published on 10-19-2019 12:41 PM
The idea of a compressor powered by electricity is nothing new. Mass adoption of a turbo that uses electricity to instantly spin the compressor before having to wait for exhaust gases certainly would be new. That is what Garrett promises with the E-Turbo set to hit the market in 2021. ...Published on 10-18-2019 12:05 PM
The review below is from BenzBoost Mercedes-AMG Automotive Performance Forums member 5soko who purchased Renntech's HHT. The HHT is a handheld tuning device which allows you to flash your car at home in the comfort of your garage through the OBD-II port. ...Published on 10-18-2019 09:49 AM
This is a lot of power out of the factory M157 turbochargers and methanol injection is playing a big role. The output is measured on a MAHA dynamometer which is well respected in Europe and considered quite accurate. ...Published on 10-17-2019 11:21 AM
The idea of a Formula 1 Grand Prix in Miami is not anything new. It was on again then off again and now it appears it really is happening. The Formula 1 Grand Prix of Miami is expected to take place in 2021. ...Published on 10-17-2019 09:03 AM
Interesting to see ShifTech is claiming to offer E85 flex-fuel tuning for the M177 V8 in the Mercedes-AMG GLC63. They apparently are doing this on the factory ECU based on their claims which certainly is impressive tuning ability. ...Published on 10-17-2019 08:01 AM
Don't do this AMG. Displacement is why we love you. Yes, we understand hybrids are inevitable but that does not mean the V8 has to be deleted as a result. Frankly, the most exciting thing the AMG C-Class brings to its competitors is a big V8. ...Published on 10-15-2019 11:18 AM
Want a bit more of an aggressive sound of your Mercedes-Benz S550 M278 4.7 liter twin turbo V8? Of course you do and Renntech has you covered with their exhaust suite for the platform (among other upgrades). ...Published on 10-11-2019 11:56 PM
You saw the impressive GPS numbers and dyno plot for this Stage 4 W213 Mercedes-AMG E63 S over on BenzBoost. It is a roughly ~140 mph trap car that is putting out 936 horsepower and 802 lb-ft of torque. ...Published on 10-11-2019 08:02 PM
One of the (few) good things Car and Driver does these days is the Lightning Lap which is possible thanks to their resources. This year has a good field but it is missing a few notables namely the C8 Corvette, Mustang GT500, and Ferrari 488 Pista. ...Published on 10-10-2019 12:11 AM
The new W177 generation A45 AMG S boasts a beast of a four-cylinder motor in the form of the AMG 416 horsepower 2.0 liter M139 I4. It is quick in a straight line thanks to all wheel drive and a dual clutch transmission but how does the baby AMG handle? ...Published on 10-09-2019 11:04 PM
The M278 is the forgotten Mercedes twin turbo V8. Why? Well, it is not an AMG motor and its M157 big brother stole all the spotlight. Today the M177 gets all the attention but that just means the M278 is a very, very good buy in the used market. ...Published on 10-09-2019 10:13 PM
This Golf engine swap is becoming more and more popular and why should it not? The 2.5 TFSI fits and works with the MKVII electronics and DSG transmission assuming you have a competent tuner. Just last week a MKVI Golf R with a 2.5 TFSI swap was posted. ...
