The SLS AMG is the best Mercedes Benz can offer right now. The car arrived in European dealerships as a coupe in mid-2010 and impressed us with a pure engine delivering 571 PS and sporting a set of impressive but impractical gullwing doors. They even improved on the design with the arrival of the SLS Roadster, but the supercar game moved on a bit in terms of performance, and the engine isn’t as mental as it used to seem.
Putting a new spin on the SLS AMG Roadster, German tuning firm Vath has introduced a new supercharger kit and an air box to the 6.2-liter V8 which has boosted it from 571 PS to 700 PS and from 650Nm (479 lb-ft) to 850Nm (627 lb-ft) of peak torque.

This allows the SLS AMG Roadster to sprint from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 3.6 seconds and on to a top speed of 330km/h (205 mph).

But Vath has also targeted the looks of the SLS AMG Roadster with a front chin apron, a boot spoiler and a set of side skirts. The standard AMG wheels were also replaced with 20-inch alloy rims wrapped in tires sized 265/30-20 on the front and 315/25-20 on the rear.

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.
