It seems like the previous generation of the Mercedes-Benz SL 65 AMG is still receiving attention from aftermarket developers, as MR Car Design has just released a tuning kit for the vehicle. Dubbed Shining Star, the program brings exterior, interior, as well as tech upgrades for the topless car.

We shall start with the go-fast(er) bits, presenting you the engine modifications, which include an ECU remap for the vehicle’s engine, which allows the powerplant to offer an extra 80 hp and 110 Nm of torque. This means that the driver now gets to play with no less than 612 hp and 1,000 Nm of torque. This has been achieved through the use of a new air intake, a custom sports exhaust and an ECU remap.

The tuner has also removed the electronic speed limiter that stopped the fun at 155 mph (250 km/h) and has installed a lowered suspension that brings the car 30 mm closer to the road.

The vehicle sits on 20-inch forged rims that were supplied by Carlssson and come with a design that screams “luxury”. The SL was gifted with a Kicherer 2005 SL hood, which is made from carbon fiber, a new rear bumper (this was borrowed from the facelifted AMG model), and with a set of black fender lights and with a black middle rear brake light. As for the interior, this has only received one new element, in the form of a set of custom-made Black Series dial lenses.

Breathing even more “life” into already live Mercedes SL 65 AMG requires a combination of great experience and craftsmanship. No doubt, the company MR Car Design from Erftstadt has both of them, because Marc Reilly and his team have already surprised with so many fantastic variation of even the most ingenious idea,” stated the press release.
