RENNtech Reveals 695 HP Monster Mercedes Tuning Package

Not wanting to get left behind in a world of 500 horsepower Euro-bruisers, RENNtech announced today its new "stage 3" kit designed to squeeze an impressive 695 horsepower and 895 lb-ft of torque out of the twin-turbo AMG V12. The kit uses a revised ECU, revised cooling system and other goodies to get as much usable power out of the V12 as can be reasonably gotten. The addition for 65-series AMG's is $18,900 plus installation and is available on the S65, CL65 (pictured) and SL65 AMG. Full press release below the jump.

Jalopnik Holiday Gift Guide: Exotic Car Rental

We're getting closer to Christmas Day, so it's probably time to start considering gifts that don't require that much shipping. What if you could get your significant other an Aston Martin Vanquish, Murcielago Spider, Ferrari F430 or a Benz SL65 AMG without having to get a 400 month lease? If your pockets are slightly swollen, may we recommend an exotic car rental certificate?

eBay Auction of Lindsay Lohan's Mercedes Now Sanitized For Your Protection

Looks like the lawyers may have gotten to the auction of Lindsay Lohan's former 2005 Mercedes SL65. The original eBay auction for the dinged up and now apparently fixed Mercedes was very clear as to the pedigree of the former owner. Mysteriously the car was pulled down from auction a couple of days after we reported on it, but It would now seem the seller has re-posted the item — only this time it's been wiped of all traces of the LiLo stain. No word on whether it's now been wrapped in one of those "sanitized for your protection" wrappers often found at budget motels, although perhaps that would decrease the value for the true collectors out there. One thing's for sure, our sources are telling us the seller remains true to their commentary the coke-sprinkled vehicle at auction is the former property of the celebutard — and we'll continue to stick by our "Cokeat Emptor" issued before. (Hat tip to Paul and Dave!) [eBay]

Federline Asks Britney Not to Drive Kids in New Mercedes

We're getting a bit tired of celebrities and their automotive follies, but there's been an interesting twist in the ongoing saga of Britney Spears, cars and K-Fed's surprisingly high level of parenting competency... and we're hypocrites. Possibly after hearing about Britney and her new SL65, K-Fed had the audacity to ask that she not drive their kids in the massively-powered convertible just because she's had a little history with bad driving and has been dodging her drug tests. What a crybaby. [Brisbane Times]

Britney Spears Buys SL65, Who Will She Hit First?

Because being a bad mother is a full-time job, we don't blame Britney for taking time out of her busy schedule of chandelier shopping and court appearances to buy a white Mercedes-Benz SL65. As with everything involving Brtiney Spears, it was chaos at the car dealership and she had to have a police escort to test drive the 604-hp beast. Here's an idea: have a police escort anytime she drives the car to protect herself and others. I guess she doesn't read Jalopnik, because if she did she'd know where to find another SL65 on the cheap. [TMZ]

Lindsay Lohan's Coke-Sprinkled 2005 Mercedes SL65 On eBay?

For you auto-lovers of the celeb-obsessed variety — who also happen to have $110,000-plus to play with — we've got an eBay auction just for you. There's a Mercedes SL-Class on eBay which the seller claims to be none other than the SL65 Lindsay Lohan smacked into a tree back in May of this year and in which police supposedly found a cute li'l bag of coke. So is it LiLo's Mercedes-Benz? Well, the license plate in the pictures does seem to be the same as that found on the back end of the tree-bashing German drop-top, but we also did a quick AutoCheck vehicle history report on the VIN and the only reported accident on the report comes from February of 2006. So is it the same Mercedes? We're not sure, but you know what they say — Cokeat Emptor. That's what they say, isn't it? (Hat tip to Travis!)
