Modification Case | New Mercedes-Benz G500 Upgrading AP95 Series Brake Kit

     Last year in October, Mercedes-Benz held a new generation G-class domestic listing ceremony in Dunhuang. The new generation of Mercedes-Benz G-class model continues to have the classic boxy model of the previous generation of G-class Mercedes-Benz, but the size is larger. Its length has increased by 53 mm, and its width has increased by 121 mm. The interior changes are enormous, using the latest Mercedes family style, two 12.3-inch screens connected into one, the new car also equipped with a new design of seats, both comfort and luxury equipment contained, including massage functions, 64-color ambient lights, Berlin voice sound and other configuration options. The classic three lock buttons and the practical front handrail of the co-driver are still retained. Because of the change of body size and interior decoration, the space of rear legs in the car has increased by 150 mm, so the passengers have more room to move.

     The new G500 and G63 car models are equipped with 4.0T V8 twin turbocharged engines, of which the new G500 engine model is M176, the maximum horsepower is 422HP, the peak torque is 610 Nm, matching 9-gear automatic gearbox, the acceleration time of 0-100km/h is 5.9 seconds; while the new G63 engine model is M177, the maximum horsepower is 585HP, the peak torque is 850 Nm, matching AMG SPEEDSHIFT TCT 9G gearbox, 0-100km/h acceleration time is 4.5 seconds.

     In terms of braking performance, Mercedes-Benz G500's braking performance can be seen from many test data that it is not very outstanding in comparison with its peers, and there is still a lot of room for improvement.

     In the brake refitting, we recommend to the car owner the new CP95 series front 6 pot rear 4 pot brake kit of AP Racing with high cost performance. Because of the latest Mercedes-Benz G500 rear wheel electronic hand brake, we upgrade the rear wheel differently from the previous data. This time, we choose the double calipers case of CP95 rear four plus BELFE electronic hand brake on the braking of the rear wheel. Let's take a look at this specific case.
