Mercedes CLS (2010 - C218) 63 AMG (5.5T) 557 hp — premium petrol engine of the passenger segment of the Mercedes-Benz Group AG (Mercedes-Benz, AMG, Maybach, Smart, EQ) group (Германия, 1926). Stage 1 chip tuning raises power from 557 to 620 hp (+63 hp, +11%) and torque from 720 to 950 Nm (+230 Nm). This engine ships with different ECU variants: Bosch MED17.7.1, Bosch MED17.7.3, Siemens/Continental VGS4-NAG2, Siemens/Continental VGSx-NAG2. The flashing method is determined by the specific unit: OBD, Bench or Boot mode. In the CHIPOK database: 4 configurations · 4 ECU variants. The 2010 generation — mid-generation petrol ECUs (MEDC17/MEVD17/Simos PCR), OBD flash on production revisions.
Mercedes is one of the most protected brands in the chip tuning industry in terms of encryption. Maybach is Mercedes's ultra-luxury sub-brand. Mercedes-Benz is the world's oldest carmaker, founded in 1926 by the merger of Daimler-Motoren-Gesellschaft and Benz & Cie. Mid-generation petrol models use standard OBD flash. The AMG 'one engineer, one engine' principle means each engine is built by a single craftsman whose signature appears on the plaque. Maybach uses Mercedes engines for the ultra-luxury segment, with the emphasis on quietness and smoothness.
Mercedes is one of the most protected brands in the chip tuning industry in terms of encryption. The AMG community is active in Germany, but the protection is the toughest in the industry, so Stage 1 on AMG usually requires Bench. The Mercedes community in Europe has a large pool of available Stage files for the standard models. AMG Performance Studio is Mercedes's in-house tuning studio for bespoke projects. Bench reading is a mandatory procedure for modern AMG models. Top AMG engines sit at the Mercedes power ceiling, and the gain is significant. AMG engines are a well-known base once hardware is added (downpipe + intake + intercooler).
