This 2012 (W212) E 63 biturbo wagon received the full RENNtech performance treatment with a lengthy mod list including turbos, full exhaust and exterior aerodynamic upgrades. More details to come… stay tuned and until then enjoy the teaser video.
The same Tesla Model S that successfully beat a Dodge Viper in a quarter-mile showdown is back this week going up against a Mercedes E63 AMG.
Instant torque is a wonderful thing yet EVs in general are not popular amongst gearheads and probably never will be. That doesn’t distract from the fact the new Tesla Model S is quite the performance machine. For last week’s installment of Drag Race Tuesdays we saw the Model S successfully beat the Dodge Viper SRT10 on a quarter mile strip. As a result, it set a new record as the world’s fastest production EV.
Now that same Model S is back, this time going up against a RENNtech-tuned Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG. So can the mighty EV repeat its incredible performance from last week? Check out this week’s quarter-mile showdown to find out.
The RENNtech adjustable suspension spring kit lowers your vehicle with the OEM dampers via adjustable spring perches and sport lowering springs on the front and adjustable lowering links in the rear for the air suspension. This kit also works with vehicles that have electronically control dampers installed. Our lowering solution offers not only overall improved aesthetics and an aggressive vehicle stance, but improves both vehicle handling and performance.
Our standard kit includes:
RENNtech sport lowering springs for front axle
RENNtech height adjustable spring perches for front axle
RENNtech adjustable links for rear axle
In addition, we also offer our adjustable suspension kit with the RENNtech Digital Suspension Lowering Module (DLM) in place of the rear adjustable links.
This setup allows the suspension system to remain balanced as the digital lowering module controls inputs to all four sensors on the vehicle (even though only the rear suspension is adjustable electronically). It also allows for complete adjustablility of rear ride height via the lowering module software (included) with no need to manually adjust links on the rear.
We feel that this combination best maintains the suspension system’s functional integrity as it accounts for the suspensions load leveling function, offers improved ride quality over the standard suspension kit with adjustable rear links and allows for complete electronic adjustability of rear vehicle ride height via the included software.
Kit Specifications:
Lowering Range: 20-40mm Front / 10-20mm rear with standard links
Four corner height adjustability of the original suspension kit
RENNtech performance down pipes replace the restrictive stock exhaust for improved performance, reduced back pressure, greater exhaust gas volume and better sound.
Combined with RENNTECH’s ECU software our CLS 63 down pipes create an incredible sound with performance to match.
Our down pipes mate perfectly with the stock CLS exhaust system and include all necessary mounting hardware and clamps. High-strength 304 stainless steel construction ensures lasting quality and a rich, consistent sound. The down pipes are available with 200 cell sport cats or in a catalytic bypass version.
RENNtech and ADV.1 have partnered at this years SEMA show in Las Vegas with a RENNtech modified CLS 63 Biturbo to revel our latest carbon fiber aero accessories, biturbo performance upgrades and the resurrection of the monolite wheel. Stay tuned for more product announcements and pictures…..
BenzBoost member hits 607 wheel horsepower tune only with Renntech M157 tune in a 2012 W212 E63 AMG
Excellent results from BenzBoost member xtyper who got his 2012 E63 AMG with the M157 Twin Turbo V8 motor dyno’d after getting a Renntech ECU tune. The results are a whopping 607 wheel horsepower tune only in SAE. This was done on 91 octane Californiapump fuel mixed with 100 octane race gas for an estimated 95 octane average.
The results are simply incredibly impressive for this motor which is a beast when tuned. Great to see Renntech’s own posted dyno’s backed up independently, great work. Full review in xtyper’s words with dynograph below:
Xtyper:
So last week I sent my ECU out to Renntech to have it tuned. Everything went very smoothly, and I received it back two days later as planned, along with a couple of BMC Air Filters. Like a kid on Christmas morning, I opened the box and installed the goodies right away. Then I took the car for a spin.
Now, mind you, I’ve read all the reviews and power results on these M157 tunes, but never in my wildest dreams did I imagine it would have the effect it did. The car felt strong before, but now it feels AMAZING! Stock-like driveability at partial throttle, but at WOT, all hell breaks loose. Mashing the throttle on the freeway at speed even spins the tires loose. This thing is a monster!
To make sure the results I felt on the street could be verified on the dyno, I took the car down to MD Automotive in Westminster to check the power output. Keep in mind this is the same shop used in all the Edmunds.com dyno reviews. It’s a typical, run-of-the-mill Dynojet 248, and Mark the owner is a really nice guy.
Car: 2012 E63 AMG Non-PP
Modifications: BMC Air Filters, Renntech Tune
Fuel: 95 octane mix via blend of Chevron 91 and VP Racing 100
Ambient Conditions: 75 deg F, 28.79 Baro, 59% Humidity
Dyno Type: Dynojet 248
Peak Results (4th gear): 607whp & 710wtq SAE Corrected!!!
Attached below is a picture of the dyno graph printout. Besides amazing peak power, note how smooth the curves are, and how safe the AFR looks.
Needless the say, I couldn’t be happier with these results. Much thanks to George and team at Renntech for the great customer service and a top-notch product.
Next up…the Airstrip Attack event hosted by Shift-S3ctor Nov 10-11. I think this car is really going to surprise some people there. Can’t wait!
The RENNtech V3.5 digital suspension lowering module installed on a 2012 Porsche Panamera 4S.
All RENNtech DLMs are adjustable via USB using either Windows or Android OS. The software allows the user to adjust the ride-height at each corner in 1mm increments independently. The software also has three locations where the user can store pre-configured suspension setups for quick changes.
This digital lowering module is also available for 2010-up Porsche Cayenne, Bentley, Audi and VW. For more information, visit our website: http://www.renntechmercedes.com/www/node/1004
