Renntech’s SL65 AMG Black Series to boast 805 HP


Accomplished Mercedes Benz tuner Renntech has played around with the already overpowered SL65 AMG Black Series, and has come up with a hardtop coupe that shoots out 865 horsepower and 1,000 pound-feet at the crank.

The Renntech SL65 Black Series dyno run had 5 more HP than the Brabus Vanish, which was clocked in at 800 HP. That’s also 135 more ponies and 263 more lb-ft than the stock SL 65 Black Series.

This car means business even next to SLRs Roadsters. The SL65 Black Series has the kind of threshold of power-to-weight-to-possible grip. Everybody would surely like to experience this kind of power. It is simply a monster HP/torque kind of vehicle.

The Renntech version gets an ECU revision, upgraded intercooler pumps and sport mufflers in a package that begins at $16,390, which when you look at the price tag of the actual SL65 Black Series at $250,000 is pocket change. That doesn’t include the transmission upgrade and LSD you’ll probably want to go along with it.

The RENNtech Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG w/ a Radar Jamming System

RENNtech hast turned the already factory tuned C63 AMG into a beast; with 580hp (130 more than the normal C63) and a top speed of 187 mph, you’re almost guaranteed a ticket on your first spin around the block. The RENNtech engineers have actually thought about that, and how annoying cops can be when you’re trying to go 75mph in a 35mph zone, which is why the have partnered up with Technicar. Together they designed and implemented a secret weapon that will warm you if any police radar guns or even laser guns are being pointed at you car. Not only does it warn you and show you the direction from where the radar gun is being fired from, but it also has built a in systems that confuse the radar and laser gun, which makes them spit out wrong data to the police officer. RENNtech packaged the warming system into the rear-view mirrior of the C63, making it seem like it was there when you bought it.

RENNTECH is celebrating its 20 years of tuning excellence with a series of extremely limited-production vehicles. Similar to what they have done to the limited edition SLR 777, they created a concept design of what the G-Class will look like. It will be powered by CDI Diesel engine and produce almost 400 lb-ft of torque. Just like with their GLK Rally concept and the SLR 777, Platune Design came up with the illustration and conceptual design. We’re looking forward to learning more about the G Concept and hopefully seeing some real pictures soon.

After an intense, 45-day build and grueling 30 days of campaigning for votes from friends (like BenzInsider), family, and total strangers, Mercedes-Benz announced that RENNTECH has won the MBUSA GLK tuner build-off!

The competition wasn’t easy, with BLVD Customs’ strong GLK “Urban Whip” roadster and Brabus’ slick “Widestar” each swapping positions with RENNTECH for the lead throughout. At the end of the day, however, Mercedes acknowledged that RENNTECH’s sweeping program of upgrades – which included extensive engine mods, software development, aerodynamic bodywork, suspension and brake upgrades, as well as converting the GLK to hybrid drive – pushed RENNTECH’s GLK 350 Spec.R Pike’s Peak rally racer “over the edge”.
