With a little over 2,000 units ever built, the Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren and its variants is one of the rarest three-pointed star models in the modern era.
Birthed from a relationship that started in heaven and ended in hell, the long-hooded anglo-german supercar was at first called the “Silver Arrow of the 21st century” in official press releases, its retro-futuristic design making it one of the if not the most beautiful Mercedes-Benz of recent decades.
Powered by a 5.4-liter supercharged AMG V8, the “standard” SLR McLaren was good for 626 hp and (575 lb ft) of torque, more than enough to make it the world's fastest grand tourer during its entire six year-lifespan.
Its most famous feature, apart from the massive power and torque figures or its Messerschmidt/Spitfire exhaust sound, was naturally its breathtaking design, which is why not many tuning companies have tried to “improve” its looks.
The Germans from Famous Parts aren't part of the ones who gave up and recently decided to subtly modify an SLR McLaren Roadster.
While the modifications aren't exactly exhaustive, they are enough to make the car look a little bit different and also change its handling, as we are talking about a set of ADV.1 5.2 MV2 SL wheels measuring 20 inch in the front and 21 inch in the rear and a new adjustable suspension system from KW Automotive.
