The Mercedes-AMG GT S with the latest tuning package of Renntech.

The Mercedes-AMG GT S is no joke. It has a breathtaking design that you could only expect from Mercedes. Then its look is matched with a powerful engine. However, Renntech takes it to another level by giving its engine more boost.

Under the hood of a stock Mercedes-AMG GT S sits a 4.0-liter biturbo V8 with an output of 510 hp and 650 Nm of torque. All that is distributed to the rear wheels through a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission gearbox making it accelerate from zero to 62 mph in just 3.8 seconds. Moreover, it can achieve an electronically-limited top speed of 193 mph.

The latest Stage 1 Turbo Upgrade of Renntech for the sports car brings its output to 716 hp and torque to 890 Nm. The modification makes the auto super fast, that’s why it was featured, as the car can go up to 60 mph in under five seconds.

Based on the source, the famous tuner got the extra oomph by replacing its turbochargers with new ones complete with light billet compressor wheels and bigger impellers. After that, new stainless steel downpipes with catalytic converters and high-flow air filters were installed.

To improve its handling, Renntech also offers suspension adjustment for the Mercedes-AMG GT S. It alters its riding height at the front and rear portions to a maximum of 1.5-inch without sacrificing the car’s ride comfort.

For customers who are interested to have the mentioned upgrades installed in their Mercedes-AMG GT S, the price of the kit is at $11,800. Getting the coilover suspension kit will only drive them back around $1,980. The numbers are not bad for a customer who can buy a car that fetches a price tag of $129,900.
