What world record does YPG Motorsport hold?

YPG Motorsport holds the world record for the first 9-second Mercedes-AMG C63 W205, running 9.97 seconds in the quarter mile at 140.1 mph, built and tuned in-house in Kuwait.

How fast was the record-setting YPG C63 W205?

The YPG Motorsport C63 W205 ran a 9.97-second quarter mile at 140.1 mph trap speed at Beech Bend Raceway Park, Kentucky, on FIA-certified timing equipment — the first W205 C63 into the 9-second range globally.

How much power did the world-record C63 make?

828 wheel horsepower, produced by a YPG Stage 4 turbo kit and ECU tune on the M177 4.0L biturbo V8, with methanol injection for charge cooling and octane.

Can YPG build a C63 like the world-record car?

Yes. The same YP4 package — Stage 4 turbo kit, ECU and TCU calibration, catless downpipes and methanol injection — is available through YPG Bench, the mail-in tuning service for GCC and worldwide customers.
