RENNtech Launches Mercedes-Benz CLK 63 AMG Black Series Carbon Upgrades

The C209 Mercedes-Benz CLK Coupe may have been replaced by the newer C207, but tuners aren't about to leave owners without aftermarket products. Florida-based Mercedes specialist RENNtech has just released a new aero package for the CLK 63 AMG Black Series, which includes a fully functional full carbon fiber front splitter and rear diffuser, front air brake ducts, a redesigned carbon air box and fully adjustable DTM style rear wing.

According to the company, all components have been tested by the firm's in house design and engineering staff "to integrate seamlessly within the original body work" and offer improvements in vehicle performance and handling. For details and pricing follow the break for the tuner's press release.

Carbon Front Splitter: Our front lip spoiler offers aggressive front end styling and increased down force for improved handling. Integrated into the flat panel underbody tray are functional channels which allow cooling air to be directed to the front brakes to significantly increase brake cooling and reduce heat fade and pad wear. Price $2450

Carbon Front Brake Air Ducts: Our front brake air ducts were designed in conjunction with our front splitter to dramatically increase cooling air flow to the front brakes reducing brake fade and pad wear under the most extreme driving conditions. These bolt on components require no modification to the brake heat shield and are crafted in full carbon fiber. Price $1250

63 Carbon Air box: Our redesigned full carbon air box incorporates a restyled carbon vacuum chamber box. By optimizing the path and increasing the volume of incoming airflow, our carbon air box is able to offer gains up to 10hp, in addition to serving as an attractive under hood showpiece. Price $2795

Inden-Design Presents Mercedes-Benz CLK Cabriolet DTM Replica Kit

Back in 2006 Mercedes-Benz launched the CLK DTM AMG Cabriolet, a limited production version based loosely on the styling of the DTM racecars that was motivated by a 582HP supercharged AMG V8 engine. Now German tuner Inden Design has decided to offer all CLK Cabriolet owners the chance to drive around with a DTM lookalike with the introduction of a replica package.

Aside from the wide bodykit that sees the humble CLK Cabriolet gain several inches around the front and rear end, Inden-Design's DTM package adds in-house styled 19-inch alloys wrapped in 255/30 rubber on the front axle and 305/25 at the rear as well as a sport suspension kit from H&R and a sports exhaust system. For the interior, Inden offers a 22-piece carbon-fiber kit that can be complemented by a sports steering wheel and AMG graphics for the instrument panel.
