News surfaced today shows that Mercedes-Benz is working on a new trim for the upcoming W205 C Class, named C450.

It will use the same twin-turbo 3.0L V6 engine with new ECU software to boost the turbo pressure, which increases the original output of 329hp (in C400) to around 367hp for the C450.

The reason why this “tiny” V8 can produce such large amount of energy is because its super-high boost pressure of 26.1 psi . Of course, unless Koenigsegg programs the ECU to keep the turbine rotating all the time, high pressure boost will definitely lead to turbo lag.

However, what surprises us most is not the horsepower number of the One:1 engine, because everyone knows, as long as you are willing to raise the turbo boost pressure, ...
