The Build — YP4
YP4 is a customer-owned Mercedes-AMG C63 W205 that YPG Motorsport built from the ground up for drag racing dominance. Every component was chosen for maximum reliability under extreme power. This is the car that set the record — and the same package available to you today.
Power
YPG Stage 4 Turbo Kit
Purpose-built for the M177 4.0L V8 — engineered to push beyond 800 WHP on pump fuel with methanol.
Engine Management
YPG Stage 4 ECU Tune
Full recalibration: boost, ignition, fueling, torque limiters, safety systems — optimized for maximum power and drivability.
Transmission
YPG TCU Calibration
Custom 7-speed MCT shift strategy — launch control optimization, shift speed, and torque management calibrated for the drag strip.
Exhaust
YPG Catless Downpipes
Maximum exhaust flow, zero restriction — critical for turbo spool and power delivery at Stage 4 boost levels.
Fuel System
Methanol Injection Kit
Charge cooling and octane boost — the key to sustaining 828 WHP safely on a street-based platform. Allows aggressive timing at high boost.
Venue
Beech Bend Raceway Park
Bowling Green, Kentucky, USA
Timing
FIA-Certified System
International standard timing — same equipment used at top-level drag events worldwide.
