Essen 2011: McLaren Mercedes SLR 722 GTB by Sievers

Very orange and very powerful is the best way to describe the Mercedes Benz SLR GTB tuning job from Sievers, which made its official debut at the 2011 Essen Motor Show late last week, where JustinsSupercars shot this footage.
The Sievers creation is a car of huge numbers: 814 horsepower and a top speed 350 km/h. And if that wasn’t enough, the torque curve tops out at over 1,200 Nm, while the weight has been reduced all the way down to 1.5 tons.

Sievers says they only used original parts, which are also found in the real GT cars, but unlike the track cousins, this retains its big wing and diffusers while still being street legal!

There’s only one problem with it - it’s worth a massive €1.9 million.

Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s. He also loves local car culture from all over the world, so don't be surprised to see him getting excited about weird Japanese imports, low-rider VWs out of Germany, replicas from Russia or LS swaps down in Florida.
