 FAB Design SLS Gullstream details and photos
FAB Design SLS Gullstream 22.04.2011

Originally intended for posting during the Geneva motor show, we put this story on the backburner, especially after we already covered it quickly before its official release. Now we have the full details and a new set of photos to include.

The Swiss tuner from Hunzenschwil has developed a widebody kit for the Mercedes SLS AMG called the Gullstream. The body kit is comprised of a front bumper with vertically positioned daylight running lights, widened fenders which flow seamlessly down into the sides skirts and then up again into the widened quarter panels. The rear bumper with mold vents has a diffuser that supports the extendable lip spoiler made of carbon fiber. On the roof there's a non-functional air scoop. Footware is provided by 3-piece, 10 and 12 inch concave Evolution wheels while a Koni coilover suspension from the SLS GT3 racing car is available. FAB has developed a stainless steel sports exhaust system with an integrated valve control and four classic round endpipes, a pair on each side.

Power output is upped from the standar 571 PS (420 kW / 563 bhp) to 615 PS (452 kW / 607 bhp). Torque is also slightly raised to 690 Nm at 4600 rpm. Thus the FAB SLS Gullstream takes only 3.6 seconds to hit 100 km/h and just 11 seconds to 200 km/h (124 mph). Acceleration finally levels off at 325 km/h (202 mph).

Not too bad, I've seen worse. I'd loose the roof scope though and the opening under the taillight. Other than that it has potential

Why lose the roof scoop? Everyone likes a bit of non-functional trim on their cars. Clearly you have never been to Essex.

It does look good ,awsome wheels, but what an exhaust system they made which increased 44 hp? But I don't care about it, I'm waiting for Brabus and Carlsson to make their evil version of it.

Fab Design is one of those tuning companies who's hardly recognized as a premium tuner a la Brabus or Lorinser. It seems everything they put their hands on turns into pure s**t. Set that aside, I thought I would never say this, but THIS one actually looks pretty good. No gag effect compared to the other stuff they've come up with.

would of been fine with a few minor changes, the side skirt is all wrong, too busy with that extruded part in the middle. Then the indented part of the door looks terrible where it gets to the rear quarter panels, they should of put a vent there, 2" of fiberglass there looks bad. The roof scoop is for le mans or rally. The car has modern ventilation, i would of been more impressed if they made a sun roof in it's place.

So now we know that if an SLS ate too much & became fatter, it will look like a Viper!
