Renntech brings back the iconic Mercedes SEC with a powerful 7.5-liter V12 engine, delivering an astonishing 492 kW. This reimagined classic coupe, known as the SEC V12 Sledgehammer, pays homage to the legendary AMG 'Hammer' models of the 1980s. The heart of the Sledgehammer is a modified M120 V12, now boasting a massive 7.5-liter capacity, producing a mind-boggling 492 kW and 881 Nm of torque. Renntech's engineering prowess is on full display with equal-length exhaust headers, ensuring the V12 roars with a sound reminiscent of its Italian hypercar cousins. The transmission, while not yet confirmed, will likely send power to the rear wheels, enhancing the driving experience.
The exterior design of the Sledgehammer is a bold statement, with wider and lower styling that makes a powerful statement. Renntech's custom bodywork features a reshaped front end, revised grilles, and a distinctive bonnet, all contributing to an aggressive and modern look. The front and rear quarter panels are dramatically flared, providing space for forged wheels and upgraded performance brakes. The rear end is equally impressive, with a new bumper, diffuser, and a prominent lip spoiler, all designed to enhance both aesthetics and aerodynamics.
Inside, the Sledgehammer promises a fully bespoke cabin, offering buyers a wide range of materials and finishes to customize their vehicle. While interior images are yet to be released, Renntech assures that each car will be a unique masterpiece. The project is limited to just 12 units worldwide, with the first deliveries expected in 2027. This exclusive offering is destined to captivate enthusiasts who appreciate the fusion of classic design and modern performance.
For those who remember the original AMG Hammer as an emblem of excess, the Sledgehammer takes it to a whole new level. With nearly 500 kW under the hood and a V12 engine that traces its lineage back to supercars like the Mercedes-Benz CLK GTR and Pagani Zonda, this reimagined SEC is a testament to Renntech's innovative spirit and commitment to pushing the boundaries of automotive engineering.
