Mercedes Performance Tuning | Giving Your Non-AMG A Boost

Mercedes Benz vehicles are a signature of the target audience they are aimed for. From the young up and coming executive zipping between rendezvous points with associates in bright colored ‘A Class’ variations to the wealthy businessman being chauffeured around the city between meetings in the flagship S Class Sedan. So, Mercedes performance tuning may not be at the top of every Mercedes Benz owner’s mind.

These cars are perfectly capable of holding their own in comparison to competitors so why would anyone want to enhance a machine of this caliber for better performance? Better yet, if one’s taste in luxury cars includes a Mercedes Benz, then why not splurge and get an AMG? The slogan “The Best or Nothing” may have something to do with it. Some Benz owners are not high-performance drivers, which is what the AMG is all about.

So, the wealthy businessman may want a sporty advantage on the long-haul trips between cities but not necessarily prefer a car with a racing engine. Performance tuning may be a way to have the best of both worlds without compromising the Benz authenticity.

What Mercedes Performance Tuning Options are Available?

It’s important to understand the history of Mercedes Benz and AMG because like it’s drivers, passion fuels the engineers behind this craftsmanship. It’s a story of wanting to work with the best and be the best to do it, much like the target market of these cars. Mercedes Benz car owners are no one thing, they are people who push the envelope and take the roads less traveled. Performance tuning a non-AMG Benz is exactly the concept of being limitless. Some of the boosts include:

• Engine: An S Class Sedan can go from a 4.7 Liter turbocharge, 8-cylinder engine, 449 horsepower (hp) and can get up to 720hp of torque in upgrades.
• Exhausts: Before you hear the sonorous growl of that engine; the exhaust pipes are a dead giveaway. Different exhaust systems can give you a sound of your choice, including the ultimate “Apocalypse” sound, the “Daytona” sound or the legendary “Earthquake” sound.
• Interior: Upgrading the interior includes a speedometer that increases the scale, a leather dashboard because what smells more like wealth than leather? You can go as far as adding a multi-media boot tray so you never go anywhere without your trusted gadgets.
