On April 1, 2011, RENNtech regained their long standing title of worlds fastest Mercedes Benz. Our RENNtech modified CL65, which held the long standing previous record once again reigned supreme by shattering its previous best quarter mile time with an unprecedented run of 10.27 @ 137.46 mph at Palm Beach International Raceway. This official time makes our CL 65 the fastest Mercedes on the planet.

The previous record of 10.51 @ 135.11 mph, also held by RENNtech’s CL65, was broken just last week by a C63 running 125 shot of nitrous which logged a 10.41 @ 135.27 mph run on 3/25/2011. Not one to be bested and looking to regain the title; RENNtech went back to work in search of even more from the CL 65 with further improvements and without the use of nitrous. Modifications to the CL 65 included an even more aggressive race only tune, enhanced drive line modifications such as upgraded transmission internals and a prototype torque converter and additional light weighted vehicle components. These are in addition to the already installed RENNtech modified ECU/TCU, carbon airbox, limited slip differential, high flow exhaust, drag radials, modified heat exchanger and intercooler pump.

Congratulations are in order. On a side note, I counted to two Mississippi before the Grand National launched…never saw someone sleep at the line that long.

 

That last pic is awesome This thing is a monster but what'll it do with more road? Can it attain the speeds of stuff like the Brabus Bullit?

 

CL65's are freaking insane. Talk about a sleeper!

 

looks like just a test and tune day.. driver prolly wanted a good hard launch and not to be rushed.. i see that alot when i go out to local test and tunes.. does make for some great launches



oh and great CL..

 

Heres another video from a 10.27 run just last night against a Heffner GT

YouTube - Mercedes-Benz CL65 AMG runs 10.2 @ 137 MPH vs Ford GT

 

Damn, nice!!

 

Side note: The Mercedes wasn't sleeping at the light despite what the video looks like, look closer and the Ford red lighted the start and still got passed like he had an anchor out.

 

Most impressive, that GT thought he'd check out early and save himself a beating. Wrong!

 

No, no, no...I was referring to the Black Buick Grand National in your first video
