Kicherer has been busy developing a new aftermarket program for the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG, playing with the vehicle’s exterior, interior, as well as upgrading its powerplant.

We’ll start with the supercar’s naturally aspirated 6.2 liter V8, which develops 571 hp and 651 Nm (480 lb-ft) of torque when it leaves the Mercedes factory.

The unit has been tweaked to deliver 610 hp and 670 Nm (494 lb-ft) of torque. This has been achieved through the use an ECU remap, as well as stainless steel sports final pipe covers (four pipes).

The vehicle’s connection to the road is now established via a set of RS-1 multi-part forged rims. As for the suspension, this has received a lift kit that was provided by KW and can lift the vehicle by 30 mm (1.18 inch) at the touch of a button, allowing it to deal with various obstacles.

This complete chassis removes the obstacles previously presented by parking garages, garage entries or steps. The vehicle with the KICHERER lift-up threaded chassis is raised by up to 30 millimetres on the push of a button to easily drive over obstacles. We would also like to emphasize the excellent driving characteristics in quick bends. The driving feeling is much more sportive and secure without losing any driving comfort,” stated the press release.

The vehicle has been fitted with a set of carbon fiber exterior modifications that includes a front spoiler lip and rear diffuser lips. As for the interior this also makes use of carbon fiber, using the material for the new trimming.
