Renntech SL65 Black Series further details and new photos [video]

Packs 600 kW (805 bhp / 816 PS) and 1,356Nm (1,000 lb-ft) of torque

Renntech has released new information about their Performance Package 1 for the Mercedes SL65 AMG Black Series.

Under the hood, the company installs a revised ECU, a 'Dual Intercooler Pump Upgrade' and a sport exhaust system. These modifications enable the bi-turbo 6.0-liter V12 to produce 600 kW (805 bhp / 816 PS) and 1,356 Nm (1,000 lb-ft) of torque, instead of the standard 493 kW (661 bhp / 670 PS) and 1,000 Nm (738 lb-ft) of torque.

To keep everything under control, Renntech offers a Transmission Upgrade and a 100% Locking Rear Differential. The latter is based on OS Giken's Super-Lock Limited Slip Differential (LSD) and "functions as a traditional open differential in low and normal-load situations, transforming smoothly and gradually up to 100% full lock as loads rise."

Priced from $16,390 (€12,650), the Performance Package 1 was installed into the pearl white SL65 AMG Black Series provided by Renntech's fellow Floridian neighbor and exotic, sports, and luxury car dealer Domani Motors.

RENNTECH has teamed up with Domani Motors to create this show stopping, tarmac shredding SL65 AMG Black Series. Since the release of RENNTECHs Performance Package 1 for the Black Series, it has created quite the buzz within the international tuning market. Domani Motors, one of the largest and most respected exotic, sports, and luxury automobile dealers in the U.S. called up RENNTECH to outfit their beautiful pearl white Black Series. The now RENNTECH modded SL produces a staggering 805 HP and 1000 LB-FT of torque at the crank.

Performance Package 1 contents include ECU/TCU tuning, Dual Intercooler Pump Upgrade, and RENNTECH Sport Exhaust. This particular vehicle was also equipped with a Transmission Upgrade and 100% Locking Rear Differential from RENNTECH. The RENNtech differential is based on OS Giken's line of Super-Lock LSD which functions as a traditional open differential in low and normal-load situations, transforming smoothly and gradually up to 100% full lock as loads rise. The Super-Lock LSDs clutch packs make the unit incredibly quiet and smooth, without the kind of chatter usually associated with limited-slip cars.

German muscle in its finest. Yeah the handling isn't the greatest but that is absolutely not what the car is about. The top American muscle cars will always only be half of what this car is.
