Mercedes AMG GT S by Mansory, from 510 to 730 hp

Normally, when someone buys a supercar, they try to keep it completely stock, pamper it, clean it every time they get home with it and, above all, keep it free of scratches for as long as possible. Doing all this means that when it comes time to sell it, it will retain a good part of its original value or, if it is a very special model, it could be worth far more than its initial cost.

But not everyone thinks it should be kept completely original, and there are those who, right after buying it, send it to a tuner to make it more to their taste, whether aesthetically, mechanically, or perhaps both.

In this case, we are dealing with an AMG GT S that has passed through the hands of Mansory. Unlike other very striking modifications carried out by this tuner, this time the aesthetic changes are moderate, although the prominent rear spoiler, in the purest racing style, takes center stage.

The body kit (leaving the rear spoiler aside), although substantial and clearly showing that this is not a standard car, does not look overly “loud”. It receives a matte grey finish and small contours in red. The pronounced rear diffuser that frames all four exhaust outlets stands out, along with the flared wheel arches with louvres, the bonnet with air outlets and prominent ridges, as well as the front end with those red contours mentioned earlier.

The Mercedes AMG GT S comes standard with a 4-litre twin-turbo V8, producing 510 hp. Now, after modifications by Mansory, such as upgraded turbos, a new intake, custom remapping and an improved exhaust system, the gain is 220 hp, meaning it now produces a total of no less than 730 hp.

As a result, it is capable of going from 0 to 100 km/h in 0.4 seconds less, now taking just 3 seconds, and can reach a top speed of 330 km/h.

All of this is also achieved, in part, thanks to lightweight 21-inch alloy wheels fitted with 245/35ZR tyres at the front and 305/25ZR21 at the rear. To further improve its dynamics, the chassis has received more extreme tuning.

We don’t know how much this preparation cost, but we do know that it is a single unit, the one seen in the images.
