As the world's first tuner, OPUS Automotive GmbH received a Mercedes-AMG GT Black Series a few weeks ago and is already presenting various for the year 2021 power levels with up to 1.111 hp. OPUS is located in the same business park at the Nürburgring, where not only racing teams but also well-known vehicle manufacturers have settled and it is no coincidence that OPUS moved into the former test center of Mercedes-AMG GmbH in Gottlieb-Daimler-Straße. Of course it is still too early to know about the lap times of the OPUS modified GT Black Series to speculate, but it should not only be mentioned in passing that this is already the fastest car in the category of standard, street-legal, but not subsequently modified sports cars on the Nordschleife of the Nürburgring. So we can be more than excited!
"OPUS Binary Editions"
The so-called "OPUS Binary Editions" be in stages 1.111 and 1.001 hp after hard testing on the dynamometer, on the road and countless laps in the green hell of the Nürburgring and on other racetracks, probably from June 2021 released for sale. At least with the highest expansion stage for the time being, the AMG GT Black Series modified by OPUS will even surpass the AMG ONE by 57 hp, whose system output is specified as 1.054 hp.
One might get the idea that this is a relatively high amount of power for a rear-wheel drive vehicle. The solution: OPUS limited at all performance levels that torque always on the "bare essentials" out of consideration for the drive train and traction. In combination with the ex-works sophisticated aerodynamics, the performance is by no means over-portioned.
Sucker-like characteristics guaranteed
OPUS also promises one for all performance levels Sucker-like characteristics with a linear power curve, i.e. parallel to the speed of increasing power. If these performance kits seem too aloof for you, you just have to wait until mid-April, then the performance levels will be included 825 as well as 920 hp be available. Except for the 825 PS expansion stage, which is purely per Software intervention takes place in the engine and transmission control unit, all performance kits contain further, sometimes very extensive changes to the hardware: These range from modified turbochargers and an Transmission Reinforcement up to one revised engine including special forged pistons, reinforced pleuel, edited cylinder heads and one completely changed Fuel system. The service packages mentioned will be rounded off in just a few months super light wheels as well as Aerodynamic addons, but OPUS does not want to give any further details on this.
Who is the tuner OPUS anyway?
So much for the information so far on the tuning components for the true shooting star named GT Black Series. Only the name OPUS raises the following question: Who is this supposedly new star in the Mercedes tuning segment? OPUS is a newcomer only in name. In the development workforce around the managing director, Dipl.-Ing. Lukas Domogalla, is a team that has been active in the automotive segment for 20 years, which in the meantime has worked as a sales representative for a well-known American company as well as an independent development and test center. "The already different market requirements required an adjustment of the business model of our company at the latest with the current global crisis.“, Says the OPUS managing director. "Last but not least, it also means that standing still equals regression and that nothing is as constant as change, which is why we are very much looking forward to continuing to set benchmarks in the industry during this time after the restructuring."
The focus is on the AMG GT and especially the GT R.
Especially with regard to the AMG GT and especially the GT R, the Nürburgring team probably has the most in-depth expertise in the world and will certainly continue to demonstrate its superiority, not least with the latest Affalterbacher top model. After all, the team from Meuspath is not referred to in the scene without reason as "Home of the AMG GT" designated. "The definition of the word 'opus' as an artistic, musical as well as scientific work sets the course for the coming products. We are always concerned with the most perfect possible interplay of the individual vehicle components, which only result in a 'symphony' if they are precisely matched to one another.“, continues the OPUS managing director. Speaking of music: Not only fans of the AMG GT Black Series have certainly noticed that the new noise regulations also allow the new 178-liter V2 biturbo, internally called M4,0 LS8, with a flat crankshaft, at most a gentle hiss in the standard condition.
For this, too, OPUS has a solution: for use on the racetrack or for non-European countries, new developments will be made from mid-April 2021 Downpipes with sport cats be available, by assembling the standard particle filter is not required. To round it off, there is already a now electronic flap control system called EFC (ExhaustFlapControl), which allows the standard exhaust flaps to be controlled using a remote control head for.
