Ultimate Staggered AMG GTS

Yes, that’s right, this is the ultimate replacement for what some believe to be irreplaceable, the SLS Gullwing. According to those who have driven the GTS, this is what the SLS should been from the start. In order to address some of the misses found on the SLS, Mercedes-AMG managed to shave 100lbs from the chassis and bumped the power figures to 468hp and 440lb feet of torque from a 4.0l twin turbo V8. This GTS was tuned by RENNtech’s and has their ECU Tune and custom downpipes with 200 cell sport cats installed. It ran a ¼ of 10.94 at 128mph. To take the improvements further beyond what Mercedes-AMG intended, the perfect set of ADV.1 Wheels ADV10 MV2 CS were added. 20"x10" in the front and 21"x12.5" out back in their gorgeous brushed finish. The ideal ride height was established here at WheelsBoutique. If you'd like a similar set-up for your GTS, can give us a call!

Tell us what you think.

Not sure where you got those horsepower numbers.

Car looks slammed too much. And whatever suspension is left after install on these wheels would be worthless on the street. IMHO.

So tighten those teeth fillings!!

Great pics and love the overall look.
Quite disappointing on the performance department. Stock car was tested at 11.2 at 128mph and this is about 3/10 quicker and 1mph faster. For $10K, that is hardly worth it.

Yeah Renntech is only currently running 60 hp and 60 torque. They are moving deliberately slow. Thought I read September as projected updated version 2.

Tune is 3500.
