RENNtech’s new line of aftermarket performance products

RENNtech has developed a new line of aftermarket performance products aimed at getting more power out of the 63 series AMG Mercedes-Benz.

RENNtech, generally regarded as the nation’s foremost authority on Mercedes-Benz performance tuning, took something of an “old school” approach towards building its new high-tech products. “The new AMG motor isn’t like the last generation of turbo or kompressor cars,” explains Hartmut Feyhl, president of RENNtech and former technical director of AMG North America. “This new engine is naturally aspirated, like a more traditional race motor, and the way to get more power out of an engine like the 63 is to improve the engine’s breathing.”

To that end, Feyhl and his crew at RENNtech have built new exhaust headers and high-flow sport mufflers, from 304 TiG welded stainless-steel, and developed new engine control software to further boost the engine’s efficiency – and, while “bigger pipes” might seem like a no-brainer, in this case, bigger wasn’t better.

With the establishment of its own bank, Daimler Financial Services, the financial services provider of Daimler AG, will be moving into the fast-growing vehicle and consumer credit markets in Russia. DaimlerChrysler Bank Rus, which will be renamed Mercedes-Benz Bank Rus upon approval by Russia’s central bank, will offer car loans for private and commercial customers in the country. The new bank will officially open in Moscow on November 7, 2007.

Daimler Financial Services’ entry into the car loan business will round out the company’s product portfolio in Russia. “The establishment of the new bank will make us the first foreign automaker to have its own bank and its own leasing company in Russia,” said Daimler Financial Services CEO Jürgen Walker during a press conference in Berlin. “As a result, we will now be able to offer the complete range of financial services from a single source. We plan to grow dynamically in Russia: Over the medium term we’re looking to achieve a contract volume of €400 million. At the end of 2006, we had a portfolio of €35 million.”
