Brabus has modified the Mercedes-AMG GLC 63 S. The implicit assumption then, is that AMG"s twin-turbo V8 SUV is underpowered. And slow. A strange mindset when approaching something already packing 503bhp and the ability to hit 62mph in 3.8secs. Alas, Brabus has done what Brabus does. The 4.0-litre bi-turbo V8"s ECU has been treated to a new "plug-and-play" control module that adds new mapping for the injection and ignition, and ups the boost pressure. The result is an additional 88bhp to make a grand total of 591bhp and a peak torque output of 590lb ft, up from 516lb ft. That latter figure is available from 1,750rpm.
