Here we have our first of what I hope to see is many “Readers Ride’s”. Today we have a tuned Mercedes Benz SL600. The “Tuning” comes from the help of the guys at RENNtech, who are able to coax out a couple of extra ponies out of the V12 Bi Turbo.
I am by no way saying the Bi-Turbo V12 is lacking in any way shape or form, most people would be happy with 510 horses under the hood. However when you want to stand out from the Mercedes Benz crowd and make a statement, a RENNtech package is the next step. RENNtech are able to ease out 130 extra ponies with the help of making slight changes to the software of the ECU and the TCU they also replace the standard airbox with a nifty carbon fiber unit, to help the engine accommodate the software upgrades.
Having the chance to take this car for a spin was a real highlight and I must say it certainly is quick, and the throaty sound of the exhaust is certainly something to behold.
