Also outside of the area of interest around the topic Mercedes-Benz Almost everyone who is at least somewhat involved with cars and autotuning will have heard the name "Renntech". Along with Brabus, Lorinser & Co., Renntech is undoubtedly one of the top names in the "Mercedes tuning". However, what does not occur in this segment is the Mercedes 140 series, which was destroyed by the tragic death of Lady Di (Diana Spencer) gained notoriety on August 31, 1997. Because tuning the luxury class flagship of the 90s is anything but common. The fact that this is more than just a pity is shown by the following vehicle, which was built by the Renntech (Reimagined by RENNtech Classics) complex modified became. And the changes were made in a very subtle way. Because at least from the outside, only the connoisseur will recognize that there is no standard S-Class driving up here.
Restomod Mercedes 600 SEL
Renntech even speaks of the "perfect 600 SEL from 1992“ to have built. This is now called S76R and is still a classic sucker. In other words, the voluminous V12 (M 120 E 60) with a displacement of 6 liters is still installed. However, it was turned completely inside out, so Renntech can claim the luxury sedan has it most powerful V12 naturally aspirated, ever built by Renntech, under the sheetmetal. From the already brilliant 6,0 liter capacity, the tuner gets by means of engine capacity a whopping 7,6 liters and, among other things, high-quality ones were also installed titanium connecting rod and AMG camshafts.
There are also revised ones cylinder heads, improved valve springs, Titanium mounts and of course adapted to it Injectors. Further, the engine breathes through Renntech's in-house Airbox and the S76R announces itself acoustically by means of new Exhaust system with stainless steel elbows, sport catalysts and four-pipe silencers with polished stainless steel tailpipes to word. Expressed in numbers, the tuner gets tight from the V12 627 PS (615 HP/459 kW) at 5.500 rpm. and the maximum torque increases to tremendous 953 Newton meter between 4.250 and 4.500 rpm.
now with a five-speed automatic
So upgraded it just barely goes over 5,0 seconds (Series +6 seconds) to 100 kilometers per hour and the Top speed is 249 km / h. The monster engine is also no longer coupled to the old 4-speed automatic transmission, but to the significantly improved one Five-speed automatic from an S-model from 1996. Renntech also installed an additional one on the rear axle OS Giken limited slip differential for optimal traction. Due to the high vehicle weight and the additional power, there was of course another one Brake necessary.
One is installed now carbon-ceramic plant with XXL discs measuring 15,83 inches (approx. 40 cm) with six-piston brake callipers on the front axle and 14,17 inch (approx. 36 cm) discs with four-piston callipers at the rear. And at Suspension Renntech relies on a system of shorter coil springs and the second-generation adaptive Mercedes damper system. And visually? There are hardly any differences. The tuned 600 SEL sees almost serial off. Installed is a discreet in-house front splitter, there is one rear spoiler and changed sidebars with air opening on the fender.
forged aluminum wheels all round
In addition, the limousine stands on forged aluminum wheels in the format 19 × 9 inches at the front and 19 × 10,5 inches at the back Michelin Pilot Sport 4 S tires. And inside? Everything still looks original there. You only recognize the new ones at second glance Seats with diamond embroideryVarious panels made of carbon fiber or den Alcantara headliner. In addition, Renntech replaces the rear seat with two individually adjustable ones individual seats.
And as a small highlight is the sound system now smartphone compatible. By the way, Renntech built the S76R as a one-off, but further conversions for a certain fee are not excluded.
