So after reading and watching much about how AMG's put out more power than advertised (Alpina are also infamous for doing this) I decided to get mine dyno'd. Went to Dyno Developments in Stevenage for some power runs:
Car is 100% stock (sourced from MB Lister) but they were impressed at the WHP. I'm still a little confused as to the exact guestimate of true power (they explained it well but I wasnt paying the best attention I have to admit) - can anyone have a go please? The torque figures impress me the most (especially the last run in purple on the right-hand graph) and obviously way above the claimed 627lb-ft. The car is devastatingly fast and for a 2 ton 5m barge its mind boggling-especially the handling as well. These cars are epic and that's me coming from Audi RS.
Mine is a one previous owner and they never launched it or did any timed runs on the system as the history log is clear (unless the dealership cleared everything). Luckily a new owner of another 2019 estate has done and put his figures up on Pistonheads (hope he doesn't mind!):
I can't think of many stock cars (especially estates) that can produce those figures. 0-100 in 6.7 are what a heavily tuned RS6 V10 would put out. I cannot imagine what a tuned one of these would feel like and it's not a path I intend going down-I wanted a car I didn't have to mess with and was out of the box savage. This ticks almost every box.
Just to confirm this I really upset a new BMW M4 owner on a private road who a) couldn't lose me and then when he let me past (wouldn't look at me at all so he wasn't happy) b) couldn't catch me. There's always something faster etc but these monsters are insane.
