The Mercedes-Benz SEC was \u2013 is? \u2013 one of the world\u2019s very finest luxury two-door coupes, from an era when Mercedes-Benz was knocking out hit after bulletproof, double-glazed, wood-trimmed hit.<\/p>\n

The Renntech Sledgehammer is \u2013 definitely is \u2013 a reimagining of Mercedes-Benz\u2019s solid gold hit that just happens to hit very, very hard. Because this limited edition, entirely overhauled C126 Benz packs a 7.5-litre naturally aspirated V12 producing many, many horsepowers.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Around 660, along with 650 torques, which makes this V12, according to its makers, \u201cthe only naturally aspirated version of its kind in active production today\u201d. It\u2019s the same M120 V12 that Pagani used \u2013 uses? \u2013 for the unkillable Zonda<\/a>, and the same M120 V12 that exists in the \u201chighly collectible\u201d CLK GTR. Basically: it good.<\/p>\n

Good and shouty, because Renntech plans on this tuned M120 V12 \u201cdelivering a signature V12 sound\u201d courtesy of hand-built equal length headers, among other \u2018high-grade\u2019 components it plans on installing into those mighty banks.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The whole thing will be entirely re-engineered from the ground up, with a \u201cunified chassis, drivetrain and aerodynamic package\u201d, while inside it\u2019ll be tailored to the 12 individuals who\u2019ll get to own it. Oh, right \u2013 Renntech\u2019s only building 12 of these Sledgehammers, each one bearing that monster widebody kit and your choice of forged wheel.<\/p>\n

The first SEC V12 Widebody will be delivered in December 2027. We\u2019d say \u2018keep an eye out\u2019, but you\u2019ll probably hear it first.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
