The naturally aspirated 6.2-liter V8 unit has received a custom exhaust system that uses valves to control the sound-growl, as well as an ECU remap. This means that the unit now delivers 615 hp and 680 Nm (502 lb.ft.) of torque (the stock figures are 571hp and 650 Nm / 480 lb.ft. of torque). Thus, the powerplant pushes the car from 0 to 62 mph in 3.6 seconds (down from 3.8 seconds) and on to a top speed of 205 mph/ 330 km/h, compared to the 197 mph/ 317 km/h stock value.
The vehicle also has its brakes and connection to the road upgraded. The first now use slotted rotors and new pads, while the latter is comprised of a lowering suspension, which brings the SLS AMG 25 mm closer to the road and a set of three-piece forge rims that come in a 20-inch size and use high-performance tires (265/30: front and 325/25: rear).
The vehicle uses a shy carbon fiber aerodynamic package that includes a front bumper lip spoiler, fresh side skirts, as well as a rear wing. As for the interior, this has received a sports steering wheel, which comes with a leather finish, carbon and wood trimming, as well as a new speedometer that goes all the way up to 248 mph (400 km/h).
The price for all the aforementioned goodies is about what you’d pay for a real mean and well-equipped hot hatch: EUR32,670.
