C72 or C73 - is there such a car?

Today one of my customers told me his mate just bought a C72 AMG

He said it cost him £100,000 and was a much more rare car than the C63.

i reckon he is talking ***** LOL

Cheers

Yes
Renntech put out a C74, basically a C63 with a package of Renntech products throughout the car.

Far from regular...and it's a C74

RENNtech C74 Konzept based on the Mercedes C63 AMG review:


RENNtech C74 Konzept


As the worlds foremost Mercedes-Benz/AMG tuner, RENNtech unveiled their latest project vehicle at the 2010 Festival's of Speed in Orlando, Florida. All performance modifications and exterior aerodynamic modifications were designed, developed, and tested in house at RENNtech's facility located in Lake Park, Florida.


The C74 is the latest variation of RENNtech's C63 AMG project vehicle which has seen continual transformations throughout its life, serving as a working test platform for RENNtech's proprietary line of performance products. The C74's current trim boasts incredible performance from the 6.2L AMG V-8 with a wide stance and aggressive look to match. The "74" designation given by RENNtech, refers to the 74 inch width of the rear wheel track which lies beneath the body work of the C74's muscular rear end. This allows the ability to run up to an 11" wide rear wheel with a 315 series rear tire for the ultimate in handling and traction. The number also pays homage to the legendary RENNtech V12 "SL 74".


This package is available now starting at $11,950. For more information regarding our C74 package and additional pricing options, visit our news blog: http://news.renntechmercedes.com/

I would love to get a wide body kit so we can run some bigger tires/rims (with out spending 10k+) but I am not sure how I feel about this, there are no welds, its just bolt on?

Renntech still has the C74 concept. Owners track car. 74 is reference to rear track width. I think the car might be for sale.

Also, Renntech sells the C74 wide body kits, so there are mods out there, how many is the question?
