Renntech C63 R Is a 745-HP Monster Ready to Punish a Street Near You
When it comes to this savage Renntech AMG, nothing is safe on the pavement.
Do you remember the first time you saw a C63 AMG Black Series? For me, the imagine never left my mind. The insane factory flares brought a road presence that I had never felt from AMG’s before it. The almost excessive amount of carbon fiber showed that the car was about luxury and meant business on the track too. The handcrafted AMG V8 made sure you paid attention every moment the C63 flexed its automotive muscles.
Through the grapevine we had all heard that there potentially was to be a new Black Series for the current W205 C63 S. We waited and waited and sadly, it never came. However, the aftermarket is always there to solve that issue. Thanks to our friends at AutoTopNL on YouTube, we are able to see what a Black Series could have been for the current generation.
They feature a C63 S built by RENNtech, popular Mercedes tuning shop, however, this is an Edition 1 limited production model that has been used as a baseline. RENNtech has dubbed this the C63 R. It features one of the most unique and interesting color patterns you’ll see on just about any car today. A Selenite matte grey paint and contrasting yellow graphics just about on every single panel of the car. This design was inspired by the Mercedes DTM car and we simply love the aesthetic it gives us. If it had a description, it would be unabashedly attention-seeking.
Speaking of attention seeking, if you didn’t notice through the video, the car has been properly upgraded to a Akrapovic exhaust and it sounds vicious, crackling and banging on every upshift and downshift. However, don’t worry, this isn’t just all bark and no bite. Even through the Edition One car already has upped the power figures to 503 HP and 516 lb-ft of torque, RENNtech took the car more than a little bit farther. With the Renntech modifications, the car now makes a supple 745 HP. We would say that just about enough to get more than enough to crazy on the street and the track.
The RENNtech C63 R looks great and goes like a hell of a car. While it may not be a factory Black Series and we most likely won’t ever see one for the current generation, we can’t sweat the details. If a Black Series doesn’t exist, why not get a little creative and make your own?
