World’s Fastest CL65: RENNtech Mercedes Benz CL65 AMG runs 191.186 mph in Standing Mile – Road Test TV
April 26th, 2010 by Road Test TV
On April 25, 2010, in 90 degree heat with a 15+ mph head wind, a RENNtech modified Mercedes CL65 with stock turbos and stock intercoolers went a blistering 191.186 (see attached thumbnail – upper left) in the standing mile held in Miami during the Exotics Rally event.
The bad Benz had the following RENNtech modifications: RENNtech ECU/TCU, Ram Air, High Flow exhaust with 200 cell cats, upgraded inter-cooler pump and limited slip differential. This is the same RENNtech Mercedes CL65 that currently holds the quarter mile record of 10.62 @ 133.7 mph. Based upon its standing mile performance, it appears that this Benz may hold a couple of new records: fastest CL65 in the standing mile and the fastest Mercedes Benz with stock turbos in the standing mile.
