I have a CLS55 AMG and it leaves most cars on the freeway in the dust... I can't imagine how this 700HP RennTech AMG would be. This car is way over the top but I love it.
WHAT A FANTASTIC VIDEO. RENNTECH IS A FIRST CLASS PLUS COMPANY. I BOUGHT MA FIRST MERCEDES 560 SIX LITER AMG WHEN HARTMOUT WAS IN NAPERVILLE ILL JUST OUTSIDE OF CHICAGO IN 1988. I WAS BORN IN GERMANY AS WAS HARTMOUT. HE IS BY VERY VERY FAR THE NICEST GUY I HAVE EVER MEET. HE IS DEFINITELY A MERCEDES TUNER. MY BEST TO YOU FROM CLEVELAND.....
friend of mine has a Kleemann tuned 820-850 hp (1400 nm) CLS 63 AMG fucking crazy car! he claims it easy does 370 km/h (230 mph) maby more. Love Mercedes, love AMG and love the guys who tune them Renntech, Kleemann, Carlsson, Brabus. just to name a few.
The Panamera Turbo S is a brilliant car, and if you need the AWD to get through your winters where you live, a great choice. But it's $174,000 (base) and $197,000 (as tested). The CLS63, even with the RennTech upgrades, is less than $140,000 and far more exciting to drive.
When we tried to discuss filming with UGR, the short version is they were the first tuning company we spoke to who was actually rude to us. Everyone else has been very nice, regardless of what we've said about their cars.
Hate to break it to you, but that gap is there from the factory. The nose and hood haven't been touched on this car, just the splitter on the bottom. I thought the same thing when we drove it, but they had another stock CLS there and it was the same.
That's ok, my e55 got called the "grandpa car" A LOT.. until it outran the shit talkers, and never had any major issues other than chewing up rear tires at a high rate lol
Matt, the reason we all dig your reviews so much... well the over-riding reason anyway.. is that you are a genuine car guy. You started doing this from passion, and you haven't lost any of that as you have progressed, and honed your craft. Been watching since the Garage 419 days.
neighbor has a 750whp cls63 amg. i thought its just wrapped in blue and bsically stock. but today before going out he asked me about my ls460 nd asked me what im pushing cuz it looks mean. i laughed and said its stock just bagged prolly pushing around 300whp. i asked him how much his merc is pushing and he told told me he dynod at 750whp. he told me his boy has ls460 pushing 500whp supercharged nd told me he can get me a hook up i told em ima prolly get rid of the ls for the new rc f. idk wtf he does. never working. up until 5am. prolly races or something. he has a bunch of mini bikes and a s2000 pushing 350whp. guys fucken crazy.
eurosonly doubt he has a rich mom or dad since they both live with em nd they dont even speak english. i manage websites thats how i live. i doubt he does that. hes always tweaking shit in his garage. like dirt bikes mini bikes. im %90 sure he races. i dont live in a highclass hood. i live in the ghetto. cangoga. bu my street segregates from the rest nd we have a nice small neighborhood. but walk off the street nd its all ghetto. thankful? lmao. i wont stop till im in beverly hills.
Thomas Persing i doubt hes a drug dealer. he drinks nd smokes but ive blazed nd done coke with em. hes def not a dealer. hes always traveling. im sure he races. he sold his cls. Now he has a new f10 m5 and it looks crazy. he said so far with the tune he pushing abouts 600whp and he also has a ehaust setup. he wraps all his cars. i guess he likes to save the paint. i dont like the style of the bmw but it looks mean. he has red rims i havent seen em up close not sure what they are. And the cars wrapped in a gerying blueish with the spoiler wrapped black. Not my style but it looks good. the cla was fisrt wrapped matte blue and when he sold it it was wrapped matte orange.
hes since gotten rid of the cls63 nd got a new f10 m5. mean af. changes colors everymonth nd rims ahahhaah. guys rich. he does race. he had the beamer saftey car in front of his house.
next week we're driving a Switzer 1,100 horsepower GTR. I like AMS's products but Switzer has always been more than cooperative with our schedules and the car was extremely impressive.
That to me says "street legal" but not "streetable." I've never driven, but ridden in a 1,500 HP muscle car, and it was a total handful that required 100% concentration at all times. Certainly not something I could actually enjoy beyond pulling into a gas station and telling people it had that much power.
Plus these companies being featured are top in the business of modifying their specific brands. They know how to keep them on the road and be reliable. Keep doing these videos Drive, my favorite channel on youtube/tv.
I really like the direction of this channel - putting the spotlight on all corners of the automotive industry. You guys are the real pioneers of the new media. Thank you.
No, in the case of the AMG V8's the turbos are identical and run in parallel (one per cylinder bank), not a sequential setup like a stock Supra would be.
The GTR's amazing straight line performance has much more to do with the transmission and differential than it does just power and weight. The transmission shifts much faster in the GTR than the Mercedes, and it can get a significantly better launch.
because, if you have that kind of power you can do what you only dreamed with your car. if you have 700 hp it doesn't mean that you use that power every day. it's just satisfying to know that you have that kind of power and that gaves you confidence that's why !
Matt Farah, Chris Harris, Steve Sutcliffe, Tif Needell and Harry Metcalfe. My favourite car journalists right now. And I couldn't care less how do they look, because they do great car reviews, and that's what it counts!
It's a good idea to show us more often in futures clips the gauges while accelerating - 0-60, fill up 2nd gear may be.... Matt always speaks interesting things. I'm really get into it how explains everything padded with knowledge. Nice video by the way :) Keep doing this guys!
furthermore, if there are elevation changes in the road, I can use the arrows to identify exactly how far the cop is ahead or behind me as I crest hills and the signal changes. You can only do this kind of analysis with a V1, and because of that, I can spot, with nearly 100% accuracy, where the cops actually are and how they are moving.
Great videos Matt. I hated the early ones as you weren't doing slides like C Harris. But can appreciate your different style. Gotta love your enthusiasm! Keep up the good work!
ahem, before yo get all high and mighty, you might want to check some facts too. The ZR1 uses the same carbon ceramic brakes from the Enzo, but Ferrari uses the GM magnetic ride control shocks from the ZR1 in the 458 and the FF.
This is correct. Mercedes uses the term "Biturbo" to mean identical, twin-turbos. The turbos are the same size, as it would make no sense to run them in sequence with a V-type engine configuration.
One thing about a tease is it always leaves you wanting for more. It is that yearn, eagerness that such shows emote for a viewer that makes it worth watching. Now the sucky part is, the show is only eleven give or take mins. But that feeling, that desire is enough to make one get up get into his car, drive to a dealer(though i dislike them) and get one. one of those slick, stealthy, bank breaking, divorce inciting BENZES. Now as i sip my tea and watch this flic again, boy am i happy to own one:)
Mercedes' gearboxes are one of the smoothest shifting transmissions I've ever drove. I wouldn't want it any other way. The auto and paddle shifters are awesome on these cars.
The Mercedes' AMG V8 is called a "biturbo" but is a twin-turbo configuration with identical turbos, one for each cylinder bank. Not a sequential setup like the Supra.
I'm so blessed to be able to drive this on a daily basis. I think it's probably the best looking and performing car on the road (obviously not including the exotics here).
The thing is, with AMG Cars, they use "biturbo", but the engines are actually twin-turbos that use the same size snails. It's confusing like that. Because they are small turbos there isn't much lag though.
Just picked up my 2016 Midnight CLS63C4S with 7k miles :) Not even broken in yet. I'm considering the Renntech carbon fiber spoiler and diffuser. I'll do a stage 2 after 10k miles. Thanks for the inspiration :)
see, when I get a weak signal from behind, I don't slow down, I speed up to get away from the signal before he identifies which car it is. That way I'm not sitting there at 55 just waiting for the cop to catch up to me. If it's behind me and not close enough to make direct eye contact, I just get the hell out of there. Without arrows, I wouldn't know to do that.
"The giggle don't lie", pretty much sums it up. Nice car.
I have a CLS55 AMG and it leaves most cars on the freeway in the dust... I can't imagine how this 700HP RennTech AMG would be. This car is way over the top but I love it.
I love the sound of AMG's even stock they sound like they just want to go.
amg is the best thing that has ever happened to man kind.
M series bro and also 911 series and AMG is the best that happened!!!
True cls63amg is my dream car! Beautiful rare car nothing can get better than this !

I worked for Mercedes for years and yes that is one badass car!
As a 22 year old broke university graduate this video really resonates with me
That's one of the best sounding cars I've ever heard
it's for aesthetics, as well as reduced lift at high speed. The parts are functional.
This car has that "boss look" to it like no other
I LOVE those wheels.
yeah, working on that for next season.
4:12 THAT SOUND.....excuse me i must go change

What a beautiful beautiful car...
Thank you for this video man! Absolutely iconic, the car, the owner, everything is just brilliant. Beautiful stuff
now that is sick power love it..
Great interview tied into a well done review. As always the camera work and the audio top notch...

Love the ignorance and jealousy that people have towards Mercedes without ever testing or owning one.
That's ok, my e55 got called the "grandpa car" A LOT.. until it outran the shit talkers, and never had any major issues other than chewing up rear tires at a high rate lol
Eternity haters gonna hate
starts around 730 am to 930 am
I absolutely love this.. Forget mustangs, AMG are faster AND more luxurious

Mercedes's 7-speed MCT transmission is surprisingly good like that.
this is the coolest whip you've done on this show, nice video. and yes, the V1 is the best

Amg powerrrrrrrrrr i love mercedes !
Man that car looks mean! The front and rear end are to die for!
Oh god you can hear his saxonian dialect even in english
Love his e30 shirt at the beginning of the video!
700 HP in the usa with speed limit 75? or 80? miles...uh that hurts xD
MrDBSea yes it does
Genes are you even from here bro?
Yeah but you can get to 75mph REALLY quickly.
With that much hp. I’ll be gone before the helicopter gets called
I really like the direction of this channel - putting the spotlight on all corners of the automotive industry. You guys are the real pioneers of the new media. Thank you.
I'd love to hear your definition of "streetable."
This car is currently participating in the Goldrush Rally. It now has 833hp and 980 torque.
aww all dem BMW and AUDI fans are being trolls
AWESOME! I'm loving the Tuned series, keep up the great work.
Buy Mercedes always and forever!
Yeah I too love that rumble!
The brushed face rims and the color of the car go together very well. Nice and clean, Renntech does it right!
Matt and guys, one of your very best!!
No, in the case of the AMG V8's the turbos are identical and run in parallel (one per cylinder bank), not a sequential setup like a stock Supra would be.
great work matt!
That CLS is the sexiest car I've ever seen. Incredible.
The GTR's amazing straight line performance has much more to do with the transmission and differential than it does just power and weight. The transmission shifts much faster in the GTR than the Mercedes, and it can get a significantly better launch.
yes its all made in house.
The giggle dyno, nicely done again Matt !!!
not in florida, where there are no corners.
because, if you have that kind of power you can do what you only dreamed with your car. if you have 700 hp it doesn't mean that you use that power every day. it's just satisfying to know that you have that kind of power and that gaves you confidence

I love the narative in the beginning.
These guys are fast becoming my go to guys when I need a car fix! Keep it up lads quality reporting and Matt, your badass
Giggle don't Lie!! Outstanding RennTech

RENN TECH AMG i must say MATT FARAHS knowledge and handling of this merc is quite AWESOME and he calls it as it ease

No it doesn't. The old E55 is a supercharged V8, not a biturbo.
Tuned is getting better every episode. And drive is becoming the car channel. Keep it up, boys!
thanks for sharing your point of view :)
Nice review. Matt you are getting better and better each video.

my e55 with vrpspeed stage 2 kit makes 635 hp, and its brutally fast, anything more and it'd tear my face off.
Would love to see a review of that SLR in the background
One of the best engine sounds out there.
This Sound is amazing!Thx Matt.
The world is a better place with RennTech
This is correct. Mercedes uses the term "Biturbo" to mean identical, twin-turbos. The turbos are the same size, as it would make no sense to run them in sequence with a V-type engine configuration.

Really good tune, Renntech is the beast! Owner is nice. What can I say, AMAZING. Even if I pick bmw over mercedes this car is just nuts...
The thing is, with AMG Cars, they use "biturbo", but the engines are actually twin-turbos that use the same size snails. It's confusing like that. Because they are small turbos there isn't much lag though.
we have very expensive microphones that pick up the sound. You can hear it, and that's what it sounds like in person.
Hammer Renntech i love you thx for your makeing this
drive is the best car channel on youtube. Don't change a thing guys!!
that was the most beautyest CLS ever made...
@Tboulda You just point. Gamed yourself. Directional arrows are everything. Without them, a radar detector is useless.
