Merc’s current top sports car is surely not wanting for power, but Lorinser has squeezed a considerable amount of extra oomph from its twin-turbo V8.

Available for the AMG GT and AMG GT S, the performance module pumps out an additional 85 PS (84 HP) and 100 Nm (74 lb-ft) of torque on top of the stock range-topper, raising the output to 595 PS (587 HP) and 750 Nm (553 lb-ft) of torque in both versions.

The extra punch has dropped the zero to 100 km/h (62 mph) sprint time by 0.1 seconds to 3.6 sec; naught to 200 km/h (124 mph) takes 10.2 seconds and hitting the 300 km/h (186 mph) mark just 27.3 seconds.

Lorinser charges a fairly reasonable €3,650 ($4,145) for the upgrade. Making sure that the Mercedes-AMG GT rides in style is a new set of 20-/21-inch front/rear RSK 8 light-alloy, three-pieced forged wheels, with a seven-spoke design, available in black or gold, but if you happen to dig driving your AMG GT in winter, there is a special set of mud&snow tires available as well, 265/30 front and 305/25 rear.
