Renntech added a LSD and a high flow exhaust since the 11.21 @ 126 pass.

Car started life as a non PP CLS63.

Incredible! Especially considering how long the new 5.5 TT has been on the market. How long has Renntech been working on this CLS? 3-4 months and already running 10s?

Just imagine when the software has been optimized, downpipes + further developments.

I'm betting we will see a 1000+ HP CLS/E by the end of 2012 when one of the big tuning companies exchange the turbos.

1000hp is too much, 800hp would be realastic withoout opening the engine.

i don't think stock internals can handle that much.

You are very needy. Here ya go:

RENNtech, one of the leading tuners in the world, continues to raise the performance bar on all of its projects, including the 2012 CLS63. Last night, a RENNtech modified CLS63 making nearly 700 horsepower ran the 1/4 mile in 10.98 @ 129.40 mph (208 kmh), making it the World’s Fastest CLS63. This is the same CLS63 that ran 11.21 @ 126 mph with only a tune and drag radials about a month ago. Since the 11.21 pass, RENNtech added a RENNtech high flow exhaust and a limited slip differential. The launch method used was same as before which consisted of placing the transmission in S+ (Sport Plus mode), and launching off the line from an idle (Launch Control was not used). There are more mods to come from RENNtech, so stay tuned…… Enjoy the videos (We have included the video of the 11.21 @ 126 run for comparison).

Truly a testament to the power of the 5.5 TT motor when a 4,200 lbs car can run in the 10's with minimal modification

Enzo Ferraris BEWARE

By all means I'm no expert but how much of the stock internals are touched on the 911 Turbo's and Nissan GTR's (6 pots) running 1000 + HP at the crank?

As far as I know the gearbox is the one giving up first so it all depends on how much punishment the MCT can stand up to.

I stand by my statement. There's going to be a 1000 HP CLS or E class by the end of 2012. Let the bets begin

Is it a revised tune or just the same tune? In all cases well done and we are waiting for more Renntech seems to be moving the right direction with the V8TT engines

It's the M157 Pckg2 700Hp tune. It adds the LSD & increases torque powerband

well benz engines are not like the 911 & GTR, don't forget it is based on the NA 5.5L engine.

MCT can't handle more than 830lbs of TQ as it was confirmed by others.

1000hp may be acheivable but not reliable.

i am talking about DD car with WOT all the time thats how i like a strong car to be.

Omar, the LSD makes a difference indeed! But, with more power it will make more difference combined! Have your company done any LSD upgrade yet, to conclude it will make a 'big difference'?

10's are nice

What kind of numbers could we expect from a stock CLS63 Performance Package w/ limited slip & drag tires?

The driver in the Stingray should have a crack at it.

Congrats Renntech.
This car is pure BEAST mode.

I know a lot of us are fixated on ET, but that trap is down right ridiculous.
