In late January we received a call from a customer who acquired a low mile AMG GT63S Edition One. The customer wanted to know about our GT63 (S) and M177 Engine development, and if it was possible to turn his Edition One into a 9 Second ¼ mile car. This had to be achieved without removing any seats or adding nitrous, and the car needed to run on factory Michelin Pilot Sport 4S street tires, and 93 Octane fuel for daily comfort.
Once the project was outlined and approved, development began at RENNtech headquarters in Stuart, Florida. During several weeks of development and testing in various stages, the results showed promise. The increased flow of air proved to be crucial for the M177 to deliver an astounding 1196 crank HP, 1006.96 WHP, and 935lb of TQ running on 100 Oct Gas.
