A little bit goes a long way.
The Mercedes-Benz S63 AMG 4Matic Coupe is pretty much the perfect luxury coupe. It has it all from a wealth of comforts and amenities to incredible acceleration and performance, right out of the box. There’s not much that the German coupe really needs but the team at IMSA GmbH gave it a few upgrades that go a long way in terms of looks and performance.
The twin-turbocharged 5.5-liter V-8 engine at the heart of the Mercedes-Benz S63 AMG 4Matic Coupe is a strong motor but still packs quite a bit of untapped potential from the factory. IMSA was able to tap into that potential with a few basic upgrades and unleash a volcano of power.
The boosted V-8 was strapped with a new exhaust system that includes turbocharger manifolds, downpipes, sports catalytic converters, and x-cross central muffler to reduce backpressure as much as possible and emit a thundering V-8 roar. New sports filters suck air in more efficiently while an upgraded intercooler ensures temperatures are constantly regulated. All of these are tied together thanks to a software tune, giving the IMSA S63 AMG 4Matic Coupe the ability to pump out a whopping 720 horsepower and 796 lb-ft. of torque.
To allow the Mercedes-Benz S63 AMG 4Matic Coupe to show off its muscles, the team at IMSA installed some lightweight forged wheels with a bigger footprint. The in-house, ten double-spoke alloy wheels measure 9.0 x 21 up front and 10.5 x 21 at the rear and wear 255/35 R21 and 295/30 R21 tires that can grab the pavement better than the OEM setup while providing a modern look. The final upgrade is a lowering module for the air suspension that completes the new stance and provides a better center of gravity.
The new IMSA upgrade package for the Mercedes-Benz S63 AMG 4Matic Coupe is currently available and the upgrades are also available on other AMG models as a package or individual accessories.
