Awesome story and awesome car

However I think the power figures are slightly off, quoting from the Kleeman site

Kleeman 55K Kompressor
562 Hp
718 Nm
0,5 bar
311 km/h
delimited

Kleeman 60K Bi Turbo
627 Hp
1043 Nm
1,1 bar
320 km/h
delimited

Where was the 640bhp from?

Ah my mistake, ignore my previous post. The 562bhp was from the old na 55 amg engine.

The new 500bhp kompressor engine can indeed be tuned to 640bhp. Amazing engine

What kind of mods did KLEEMANN do to the car?

I think your friend was incorrect in saying it was supercharged by KLEEMANN.

The car was supercharged by AMG and then some KLEEMANN modifications were done.

Crazy fast car though!

i think the kompressor is a kleeman kompressor. Whether it is the original kompressor modifid by kleeman, or just replaced by kleeman is beyond me.

Perhaps some one can chime in?

Kleemann DOES have a total Kompressor replacment for the V8 AMG Kompressor engines.

Here is a quote from Kleemanns webpage:

"Using the powerful V8 engine from Stuttgart as a base, Kleemann has refined the power and performance by fitting the Kleemann V8 kompressor. Although the Kleemann kompressor runs at a lower boost compared to the original AMG unit, the Kleemann kompressor is far superior, delivering extraordinary power output in all circumstances. The impressive 640 b/hp are available at 5.800 rpm. More importantly however the huge torque output is available from 2000 – 6000 rpm."

Great experience eh?

My mate's 500whp GT-R gave me that snap on the neck too when he gunned it at 200km/h, pretty scary though cos everything was moving so quickly when I looked out the window
