Aggressive styling, added performance

FAB Design has unveiled their new tuning program for the Mercedes SLS AMG.

On the outside, the Swiss firm installs an aggressive body kit that consists of a revised front fascia, a front spoiler lip, and a new rear apron with an integrated diffuser. Other goodies include carbon fiber side skirts, LED daytime driving lights and 20-inch Evoline wheels.

In the performance department, the 6.3-liter V8 engine has been equipped with a stainless steel sport exhaust system which helps to increase output from 571 PS (420 kW / 563 hp) to 611 PS (449 kW / 603 hp). Additionally, a sport suspension has been fitted to ensure the SLS handles like a proper supercar.

FAB DESIGN SLS: Individuality at the highest level

The Swiss tuner FAB-Design has taken on the new AMG Mercedes SLS to make it that much more individual.

True to the company's philosophy of creating something even more individual from a noble factory vehicle, a more accentuated version of the wing-door car has been produced. Especially the aerodynamics benefited from the high class fine tuning. To do this the developers from Mellingen developed and mounted a sporty front spoiler lip with vertically mounted daylight driving lights along with a rear apron with integrated diffuser in a similar design to the front element.

An equally output boosting rear spoiler that was specially constructed to perfectly harmonise with the factory mounted extendable counterpart crowns it all.

The optical and aerodynamic cherry on the SLS cake are the side skirts made of visible carbon fiber.

A further highlight on the retro-sportscar are the 3-part 20 inch "Evoline" complete wheels. The classic hole-design thus harmonises perfectly with the equally classic sportscar silhouette of the FAB SLS.

In addition a fitting sports suspension set was mounted that equally satisfies the requirement for both comfort and sport.

At the rear of the vehicle a FAB stainless steel sports exhaust with four oval endpipes lets the exhaust gases go sonorously free. Integrated valve steering gives the driver the possibility - according to the occasion - of choosing between a sonorous and a discrete sound.

The FAB developers also worked on the improving the performance and thereby achieved an every day capability of 611 PS - instead of the normal 571 PS of factory vehicles.

Not nice for me. Fab makes a lot of extreme tuning packages for MB and Maybach. Actually Maybach looks awful.

No the Maybach looks great on the road, but hey only an exhaust system increased the power by 40hp? or a headers with the exhaust?

Either way 40hp is quite a bit.

"Additionally, a sport suspension has been fitted to ensure the SLS handles like a proper supercar." The SLS doesn't handle like a proper supercar? I know from personal experience that it most definitely handles like any supercar. LOL

Really, a roof-scoop on an SLS? for what...cabin ventilation? I don't care for aftermarket body kits on super cars, but this one takes the cake for ruining a expensive car.

As an SLS owner, I cannot understand why these people have to reinvent the wheel. The SLS is just wonderful as it is. I have owned fast cars since 1972, and the SLS is really the very best so far, in that it offers a superb balance of performance, quality, reliability, elegance, and good taste at what is finally a very fair price. What could possibly be gained by destroying its good looks with this vulgar plastic? Those ugly exhausts? This grotesque hood scoop, it looks like a tumor. Hideous... Perhaps these people should revert to making "tuning" kits for pimply youths in SAXOs?
