Product Information

The Mercedes AMG GT-S is truly the Porsche 911 fighter. Its front mid engine, rear wheel drive powertrain is something to fear. The GT-S comes stock with 503 horsepower and 479 ft/lbs of torque. This is no slouch by any means. Like most turbocharged vehicles from Mercedes, there is more to gain. Because of fuel and emissions regulations, you can gain over 100 horsepower and torque with new ECU calibration. Being able to tune the vehicles boost, fuel, and timing tables is how this is accomplished. The low to mid range is where the peak gains happen increasing your 0-60 time. There is still plenty to gain on the top end. Besides the ECU recalibration, we can also remove the speed limiter, alter the torque limiter, tune for high flow cat or catless downpipes, and improve throttle response. Overall, the daily driving characteristics are vastly improved while providing you additional benefits that your car craves for. The Mercedes GT-S goes from a 911 fighter to a 911 beater!



Crank Horsepower Ratings:

Stock Power: 503 HP | 479 lb-ft(600 N-m)
Tuned Power: 615 HP | 585 lb-ft(664 N-m)
Note: HP and TQ figures are to the crank and based on 93 octane or better.

With the VR Tuned ECU Flash, basic bolt-on performance parts will not require a retune of your ECU. Adding parts such as an exhaust, intake, pulleys, will all adjust with the tune. Other items such as catless race pipes, may require a different tune. We can tune both EU and USA cars. Other custom enhancements such as raising the redline, lifting the speed governor, O2 tuning for race cars are available if requested. This tune does require you ship your ECU into us to be bench flashed. Seperate tuning is available for the Mercedes GT with 468 bhp stock. Please inquire.



What are the benefits of VR Tuned?

#1 priority is our customer service to you!

Our tuning is used worldwide.

We test and dyno tune on our own cars to make sure what you get is safe, reliable, and gives you the results you want!
NOTE: Upon ordering of this ECU Flash Tune, you will be required to send in your ECU. Once we receive the ECU and program it, we will ship it back to you via the method you select at checkout. This ECU cannot be flashed via the OBDII port. This requires the ECU to be mailed in to us to be benched flashed. Bench flashing requires the ECU to be opened. We DO NOT solder or modify your board in any way. Using a electrical contact pins, we tie into the boards programming mode to read and write the file. We do store your stock file if you ever want to revert. Because the ECU must be removed and opened, if you are concerned with warranty, you may want to speak with your dealership. With the VR Tuned ECU Flash, basic bolt-on performance parts will not require a retune of your ECU. Adding parts such as an exhaust, air intake will all adjust with the tune. If you add higher octane fuel, the ECU will adjust accordingly. Anytime you add higher octane, the fuel will burn slower providing your vehicle with improved performance. Further custom tuning is available with provided dyno sheets or datalogging.

If you have any questions about the ECU Flash, please contact our friendly support team!

Have you tuned both a GTS and a GT and dynoed both cars? I would think the extra power of the GTS is only due to OEM software tuning but would like confirmation

The GT is not out yet- stateside at least. But I think you are right about the tuning disparity.
