Mercedes-Benz SL 55 AMG Liquid Gold by fostla.de

Fostla.de is a company from the Lower Saxony Hannover that specializes in car foiling. Their latest project involved a Mercedes-Benz SL 55 AMG fitted with a 2008 facelift conversion and wide body kit developed by Prior Design. The car rides on 10.5x20 inch front wheels and 12.5x20 rear wheels, with 265/30-20 and 325/25-20 tires, respectively. There’s also a lowering kit module for bringing the car closer to the ground and also a five percent headlight tint. The V8 engine now produces 548 HP (403 kW) via software optimization, while the exhaust system features black glossy powder coated exhaust tips. The main attraction of this customization program is without any doubt the PWF foil in yellow metallic mat which looks quite attractive.

Mercedes SL-Class by Brabus

Brabus has introduced a new tuning program for the 2013 Mercedes SL-Class. Starting with the exterior, the model can be outfitted with a body kit that includes new bumpers, revised side skirts, front fender vents and a trunk-mounted spoiler. Customers can also order a sports exhaust system and Monoblock wheels that are available in sizes ranging from 18- to 20-inches. To spruce up the cabin, Brabus offers premium leather upholstery, illuminated sill plates, wood / carbon fiber trim and a new speedometer that tops out at 320 km/h or 360 km/h (200 mph or 225 mph). The SL500 (aka 550) can be equipped with a 520 PowerXtra CGI power kit which enables the twin-turbo 4.7-liter V8 engine to produce 520 PS (382 kW / 512 hp) and 820 Nm (604 lb-ft) of torque. This allows the convertible to accelerate from 0-100 km/h in 4.4 seconds, before hitting an electronically-limited top speed of 250, 275 or 300 km/h (155, 172, 186 mph). The car can also be equipped with a limited-slip differential and a revised suspension with sport springs (on the SL 350) or a reprogrammed ABC (Active Body Control) module that reduces the ride height by approximately 25mm.

2013 Mercedes SL-Class by MEC Design

MEC Design has introduced a new styling program for the 2013 Mercedes SL550 (R231). Looking tastefully restrained, the model has been equipped with AMG-inspired bumpers and a four-tailpipe exhaust system that is available in two different sound types: "Daytona" and "Earthquake." There's also an electric lowering module (which reduces the ride height by up to 55mm) and 20-inch "MecxtremeI" wheels with a satin finish. There's no word on pricing or availability, but the accessories will likely be offered in the near future.

Mercedes-Benz R230 SL-Class by PP Exclusive

PP Exclusive has put together a mild tuning package for Mercedes-Benz SL-Class R230 facelift. Without any performance upgrades, the modifications consist mainly of stylistic enhancements. Starting from the ground up, the SL-Class has been fitted with PP Exclusive's Majestic wheel with the front wheels sized 11x20 inch (with 3.5 inch outer rims) and the back wheels are 13x20 inch (5 inch outer rim) fitted with Dunlop tires of sizes 255/30R20 and 305/25R20. The Majestic wheels are available up to 23-inches in size. The wheel set combined with an electronic module which lowers the suspension by up to 100mm provides a scraping look that's literally down to earth. As a result, the wheel arches had to be extended with additional sheet metal grafted onto the existing arches to widen them 25 mm up front and 55 mm at the back. For the exterior the final touch includes a stainless steel exhaust system with catalytic converter and four oval-shaped tailpipes. Inside, the driver and passenger seats have been finished in white Nappa leather with black stitching. The wood trim of the dashboard have been replaced with matching white pieces while the sun visors and the roof interior have been finished in black Alcantara. The SL steering wheel has been replaced with a smaller unit which has a flat bottom and is finished with Alcantara.

Mercedes-Benz SL 65 AMG by Inden Design

German tuner Inden Design has a new kit for the Mercedes-Benz SL 65 AMG.

For the body, the tuner has a aerodynamic package that includes a new front apron with large air vents, new bonnet, widening front wings, side skirts and enlarged wheel wells. At the back a spoiler, new apron and diffuser are added.

For the engine tuning, Inden Design dials up power on the SL 65 AMG's 6.0 liter twin-turbo V12 engine to 680 PS (500 kW / 671 bhp) from the series' 612 PS (450 kW / 604 bhp). The V-max lock is also lifted.

The tuner also adds Black Sapphire exhaust pipes that deliver a new engine sound.

For the ride, the tuner offers Inden Champion rims in 11 x 20-inch or 13 x 20-inch dimensions with 265/30R20 and 325/25R20 tires, respectively. An electronic control module for the suspension lowers the ride height by 45 mm.

For the inside, Inden adds a Black Series steering wheel in Alcanatara.

The car will be on display at the Tuning World Bodensee in Friedrichshafen, Germany from May 5 to May 11.

The Mercedes-Benz SL 65 AMG by Wheelsandmore

German tuner Wheelsandmore has a performance package for the Mercedes-Benz SL 65 AMG that is modest enough to sound like a reasonable option against the SL 65 AMG Black Series.

For the power ugrade, Wheelsandmore does some ECU-remapping and adds a handmade exhaust system to bump the 6.0 liter twin-turbo V12 engine up to 697 PS (513 kW) and 1,150 Nm of torque from the production model's 612 PS (450 kW) and 1,000 Nm. The SL 65 AMG Black Series comes with 670 PS (493 kW) but with an electronically-limited torque of 1,000 Nm (a feature Wheelsandmore removes for its tuning of the standard SL 65 AMG).

Also on hand are, of course, Wheelsandmore's 3-piece forged rims (6Sportz) in 10 x 20-inch and 12 x 20-inch dimensions for the front and rear, respectively, wrapped in 255/30/20 (front) and 305/25/20 (back) Dunlop tires.

A suspension kit is also part of the package - Wheelsandmore´s "LowMaXX" electronic lowering module that maintains serial settings and raises the car at around the 72 km/h (45 mph) mark to provide a more comfortable ride.

Mercedes-Benz SL 65 AMG by MR Car Design

German tuner MR Car Design calls it the 'Shining Star', it's own version of the Mercedes-Benz SL 65 AMG.

The Erftstadt-based tuner does a little updating of the exterior on this 2005 SL with the addition of a new SLR inspired carbon bonnet from fellow tuner Kicherer. Optics also include a new rear bumper, black fender lights at the front and an new mid-mounted rear brake light in black too.

Upgrading takes place under the hood too, with a software tweaking of the ECU that adds 80 PS (79 bhp / 59 kW) and 110 Nm (81 lb-ft) of torque to the SL 65 AMG's standard output of 612 PS (450 kW/604 bhp) and 1,001 Nm (738 lb-ft) from the 6.0 liter twin-turbo V12 engine.

The V-max is also unlocked on the SL 65 AMG, a sport exhaust system is added and a suspension lowering by 30 mm is performed.
