PASSION TO THE CORE! This is the RENNTECH S76R Reimagined 600 SEL

  • Can you believe what RENNtech have built!? This is the S76R, the ultimate Mercedes-Benz S Class, a 90s 600 SEL that now features a 7.6l NA V12 making over 600 horsepower, yet sliding under the radar. Let's check out RENNtech's craziest restomod creation to date!
    Hartmut Fehyl founded RENNtech after a career at AMG that had involved everything from being an engine builder to Technical Director. In the 90s, RENNtech produced Mercedes cars with 7.4 litre engines, and even a singular 7.6 litre, well they've done it again with a 1992 600 SEL.
    This 1 of 1 project was commissioned by a customer, to overhaul the original car and create something unique, boosting 615hp and over 700 ft-lbs of torque. To do so means much more than simply a small modification; to enlarge the air boxes means repositioning the oil reservoir for the suspension system and re-routing the AC pipework, along with ensuring the car has the stability and crucially the stopping power to match. On the latter point, the S76R features AMG Carbon Ceramic brakes more typically found on an SLS AMG Black Series, but powerful enough to bring it to a stop.
    The changes don't stop there, 3d printed bodywork parts and a completely retrimmed interior add to the package, all creating a one-off machine from a segment that is seeing huge interest at this time. Prices for the likes of the AMG Hammers are flying northwards, and have hugely shifted since only a few years back, hence massively increased demand in projects like this.
    Thanks for the owner for the opportunity to take out this car for a drive, and of course also to ‪@RENNtechTV‬ for making it happen.
    Thanks for watching, Tim

    Apologies for the small slip, the W140 arrived in 1991. I'm going to blame the Florida heat... We'd been talking about something from the 1980s and you know how this works.

      I don’t mean to sound argumentative but quality more important than cost? At MB? I’m 56 & don’t remember a time you’re describing. I do remember certain cars costing more than a house & at a level of quality that can only be described as state of the art. There are some things that quality is achieved regardless of cost & that’s always been the case & always will. 👍
