Famous tuner RENNtech from Stuart, Florida, US is well-known for its exquisite restomods carried out on different models from Mercedes-Benz. In this case, the tuner channeled its approach into the restomod arena.
With growing customers in the restomod business, the tuner has big plans for the upcoming period with new and daring projects. One of its specials is this build, seen in a couple of photos that we have so far. It is about the Mercedes-Benz M120 V12, which was built on the famous C126 SEC platform that equipped the car with a V12 engine, the same one found on other collectible models like the CLK GTR or the Pagani Zonda.
Exterior
The project on the car implies a complete re-building. The couple is now much wider, as we can draw, by the renderings, with the new built-in ducts, forged wheels of special form, and flared arches. There is also an updated front fascia, new hood and revised quarter panels on both sides to highlight the aero kit. All these create a more aggressive road presence.
Although the vehicle is currently shown in rendered form, the structural direction appears clearly defined, with stance and aerodynamic integration treated as functional elements rather than decorative additions.
Interior
Each SEC Widebody example is described as tailored to its owner. RENNtech describes the car as a contemporary coachbuilt performance automobile with a single chassis, drive system and aerodynamic package, the interior customization being part of the overall unifying strategy.
Complete Powertrain Information
The center stage is the M120 V12, which has been reengineered to 7.5 liters. The engine will be enhanced with top-quality parts as defined by RENNtech which include hand-built equal length headers that would produce a distinctive V12 sound signature. It is said to produce over 660 horsepower and a torque of 650 lb-ft. No description has been given of the manner of transmission but it is stated that the system will provide the rear wheels.
Other Specifications
Development encompasses the chassis, drivetrain, and aerodynamic package as a unified system, beginning with the complete restoration and extending through the structural and performance integration.
Conclusion
Presented for now in renderings, the SEC V12 Widebody outlines an ambitious restomod direction. With production limited to 12 examples starting in 2027 and a 7.5-liter M120 delivering at least 660 horsepower and 650 lb-ft of torque, the project positions itself as both homage and reinterpretation of the C126 legacy.
