Hennessey Performance announced a new performance upgrade package for Mercedes AMG 5.5 liter biturbo V8 engine. It’s an HPE700 pacakge, and there’s a clue. It boosts the output of the V8 engine – which is used in almost all ’63’ AMG cars; CLS63, E63, S63, G63, GL63, ML63, and more recently SL63 – from 550 or so horsepower to a massive 700 bhp. The torque power is just ridiculous: 800 lb-ft.
Hennessey has not revealed the performance figures for this kit, but given the specs of the standard engine, they should be insane. The first Mercedes to get the package is the E63 shown here, which also gets upgrade brakes and suspension, new wheels and a carbon aero kit with front lip and bootlid spoiler. Here’s the ingredients of Hennessey HPE700 package:
