SNEAK PEEK - MERCEDES GULLWING




Not content to sit on the sidelines while the world watches Ferrari, RUF, and others debut their new supercars, Mercedes-Benz release a full, 35 picture gallery of hi-res "spy" photos of their upcoming SLC/SLS "gullwing" supercar. The SLR McLaren successor promises to be just as fast as the outgoing SLR, addressing that car's weight issues and being more "true" to Mercedes' heritage.

RENNTECH will have tuning upgrades available at the time of launch. Contact RENNTECH for more information.

NEW SL65 VIDEO FROM UP.TV






UP.TV (no idea) just posted a new video of the SL65 Black Series AMG ultra high-performance coupe. The video itself looks very similar to what Mercedes itself sent to the press a few months ago (HERE), but at least it's in English!

We're eagerly awaiting the first one of these to arrive at RENNTECH - we expect big things from this car. Big things.
