KICHERER Mercedes SL Evo II

German tuner Kicherer takes the old Mercedes SL and makes it new again

This Mercedes by Kicherer is not the new SL. It is not the SL 63 AMG. It's all Kicherer. At least, that's what the German tuner claims. And we make no arguments against that.

The Kicherer Mercedes SL Evo II is based on the old Mercedes SL R230. But Kicherer has made it its own, with a carbon fiber rear wing and front skirt, hand-made, lightweight cast wheels and a few other in-house goodies.

The whole package also includes new side air intakes to make the SL Evo II breath a little easier and carbon fiber aerodynamic paneling all around, including a rear diffuser, lessen air resistance. The lightweight rear wing makes up the patented KICHERER Downforce-System, an electronically controlled flap that optimizes down force on the rear axle for maximum performance and stability.

For even stickier handling, a suspension lowering by an additional 25 mm is made possible through a re-programming of the electronic suspension system.

No pricing details were made available.

Drive one of this and everybody will know that you wanted an SLR but you couldn't afford it.

anyone who can afford this can afford a SLR if you think about it. This car is rarer.

this is a very nice looking package for the SL, everything down to the rims.

minus the hood/grill combo and with different wheels I think this car would look much better
