Engineers at the German tuning company Inden Design have created a new refresher for the Mercedes-Benz SL 63 AMG R230 facelift.  The expensive set of upgrades includes performance enhancement, new body parts, wheels, suspension, and more.

The team is able to provide a power increase, taking the engine's output to 560 horsepower and up to 670 Nm of torque.  This is not included in the €19,900 cost of body parts, which provides the customer with a new front bumper with spoiler, ventilated hood and fenders, side skirts, rear apron, rear diffuser, and rear spoiler.  For an additional €3,500, a carbon fiber hood can be provided.  The material can also be used on the rear diffuser for an added €800.

Sadly, this cost does not include €8,000 for labor, and €7,500 for putty work and painting.

The high prices do not stop there, as 11x20 inch front and 13x20 inch rear wheels wrapped in Dunlop high speed tires will cost €13,200.  The Black Saphire wheel is a multipart light alloy, and is built for performance.  Modifications to the ABC suspension increases the price tag by €1,550 to drop the body, but it raises back up by 20mm once the car hits 70 km/h.

Other parts like a rear camera (€900), Black Saphire steel tailpipes (€1,220), and daytime runners (€420) can also be purchased.  Unspecified modifications are also available for the interior.


BLACK SAPHIR from INDEN-Design

The SL 63 AMG is hardly to be over-bid in puncto sportyness in its class. No matter how one looks to the changes, with the INDEN Design Black Saphire change kit was added now in optics and performance a generous portion of driving fun. This vehicle is an unusual concept - already at first sight the Black Saphire convinces of INDEN with a Design, which connects and to an unmistakable overall view leads futuristic and sporty elements in such a way.

The productionquality of the body components and their fitting accuracy are here excellent. To the body equipment belongs a front spoiler bumper, which slides perfectly along the body and which supports the look again. Thus not yet enough: there are fenders with ventilation openings, a complete hood with air intakes, sidesmolder-learn, to examine a tail apron with diffuser, a tailspoiler as well as rear widenings.

The body kit has a value of 19.900 euro for additional 3,500 euros you can get a hood, for 800 euros the tail diffuser in carbon and for 999 euros a front Flap of PE in addition.

The assembly of the body parts and the various adjustment work is separately calculated with 8,000 euros and the lacquer finish inclusive putty work with 7,500 euros.

Thus INDEN Design proves the experience in the body area again and successfully uses the know-how.

Now the SL goes into a new round, because after the vehicle was outwardly revised, also new for example the sharpened wheel set.

A further important contribution to the exclusive optics and performance makes the multipart Black Saphire light alloy wheels (13,200 euros inclusive sport tires) in 20 inch.

These were installed in the quantity 11x20 inch and 13x20 inch with 275/30 R20 and 325/25 R20 high speed tire of Dunlop.

So that the driver can also use the required potential, a modified controlling (1,550 euros inclusive installation) of the ABC chassis makes a sinking for the body possible.

Starting from 70km/h the chassis will be raised around 20mm for improvement of comfort and values of axlegeometry.

The full package is completed with a back driving camera (900 euros), day driving lights (420 euros) and suitable Black Saphire high-grade steel exhaust embellishers (1,200 euros).

When desired an increase in output on 560 HP and 670Nm can be accomplished with INDEN Design. As another extra INDEN Design worries also around the adornment of the interior.

For an adequate environment to feel good in the interior provides individual leather equipment, exclusive accessories for the cockpit and when desired also a Multimedia system.

The body inspired on the SL 65 Black Series. Quite nice but too expensive, especially wheels package.

I would love to see a tuner company that engineers a suspension package for these cars that completely removes all the hydraulic ABC suspension components (and the weight associated with them) and replaces them with a legit swaybar/coilover setup. They could even use the Black Series for inspiration.
