RENNtech GT / GT-S Stage 1 ECU tune - now with TUV approval

Hey Guys,

in case some of you have missed this:

we've been working on the M177/178 engines since we got both last year, followed by having a first turbo upgrade ready long before the cars came out and been the first ones with stock and tuned dyno figures for both models (timeline can be followed on youtube, facebook, b-boost and so far).

Back in March this year we continued with further development with the first GT-S on the dyno around, followed by the C63 in April

Now it's the time to share some good news: after many thousand kms on each car our M177/178 Stage 1 ECU tunes got a TUV approval earlier this month making it street- / insurance legal in Germany and in most of the European countries

The TUV confirmed 450kW for both models, making it 612PS at crank. Pictures below.

As you can see, we take R&D seriously as proper R&D takes its time, we don't just make a few runs on a dyno and immediately sell tunes without putting them to the acid tests for a longer period of time under all possible ambient conditions.

Tunes can be ordered from now on.

BTW: Our Stage 2 Upgrades for the GT-S will be available shortly, the C63 will follow after the GT-S release.

Your RENNtech EUROPE - Team
