Known usually as 'The Beast of the Green Hell'
thanks to Mercedes-AMG's clever marketing campaign, this GT R has been turned
into the 'Orange Beast' by tuning company Renntech.
And we're not even talking about finishing it in
orange and calling it a day, but also fitting it with BOV adapters, high-flow
air filters, an ECU upgrade, and Stage II upgraded turbochargers.
When you add everything up, this Mercedes-AMG GT R
is now good for 761 hp and 857 Nm of torque, compared to the
stock model that makes 577 hp and 700 Nm of torque.
The tuner claims that the 0 to 96 km/h sprint
takes just 3.0 seconds, an 0.5 sec improvement, and the quarter mile is done in
10.7 sec, at 219 km/h, on a regular road surface, with the car sitting
on the OEM Michelin Cup Sport 2 tires.
Renntech haven’t released any pricing details in the
short text that accompanies the images, but owners of the Mercedes-AMG GT R,
which can be had from an MSRP of US$ 157,000 in the US, should find out how much
they will have to spend on this aftermarket upgrade by contacting the tuner.
