The Mercedes-Benz G63 5.5 V8 Bi-Turbo “MC800” project is now completed. All hardware components (upgrade turbocharger, steel connecting rods, turbo pipes, sport cats) are now installed and the V8 engine is back in place. For the new hardware components, we have developed an appropriate software on our dyno. The result: Powerful 810 hp and 950 Nm.

Even the look of the G-class has changed significantly. A portal axle ensures now for more ground clearance and a brawny look. The 18-inch Beadlock rims with cross-country tires in 37×15.20R18 do the rest. With these changes, the vehicle is 15 cm higher and 12 cm wider on each side. A Movit braking system at front and rear axle ensures for optimal deceleration values. With the specially developed KW DDC suspension, it’s possible to control the suspension characteristics with a button easily from the cockpit.
