<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>The high-end Japanese tuner Premier4509 has come up with a nice new kit for the good old McLaren Mercedes SLR.</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><a id="more-29543"></a></strong>Their inspiration for this kit was the <a href="http://www.motorward.com/2010/12/mercedes-slr-mclaren-edition/">Mercedes SLR McLaren Edition</a>, a special version of the supercar limited to just 25 units and featuring unique design features.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">The front-end looks pretty much the same as the Edition SLR, with a new carbon fiber bumper, but it also gets new side skirts which make the side exhausts pop, some carbon fiber garnish for the side vents and the hood, carbon fiber fender covers, boot lid spoiler, and revised rear bumper with an awesome diffuser.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">The SLR, as you know, has been replaced with the Mercedes SLS a few years ago. But this Anglo-German hyper car remains in the top 5 list of every car nut around the world, forever.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Premier4509 McLaren Mercedes SLR will be on display at the 2012 Tokyo Auto Salon.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>This car first appeared on the radar three years ago and instantly disgusted everybody in the world of cars. Now it&#8217;s available for sale, and you wouldn&#8217;t believe the asking price!</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><a id="more-28511"></a></strong>Apparently Swiss designer Ueli Anliker, the one responsible for ruining the lovely SLR like this, is asking $11 million for it. For that you get the ugliest body kit ever, some red paint, oh and a few kilos of pure 24-karat gold.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">The car, dubbed Red Gold Dream, has some special features, such as ruby-encrusted lug nuts, jeweled indicators, a gold-trimmed interior and  steering wheel, ruby-covered switchgear, gold plated headlight  surrounds and golden door sills. Even the paint job has has a considerable amount of gold dust in it to make it more shiny.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">No one sane would even accept a ride in this hateful thing, let alone spending that kind of money on it. But lucky for Ueli our world has enough clinically insane billionaires who might find this car interesting. You now, after a few bongs and bottles, they would.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>McLaren Mercedes SLR dates back to 2003. But design-wise the old gal looks lie she was born yesterday.</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><a id="more-27220"></a></strong>That gave guys at Luxury4Play an idea to bring it back to the headlines by assembling a team of professionals to make the world&#8217;s fastest SLR. Nicknamed the SLR777, this car is the result of a joint project between Platinum Motorsport, RENNtech, MACarbon and Exotics Boutique.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">The car, which also has the Mansory Renovatio Body Kit and 20-inch Agetro M140, uses RENNtech engie upgrade program to develop 770 hp. That enables it to run the quarter mile in 10.29 seconds at 134 mph.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Watch it in action:</p>

<blockquote>
<p style="text-align: left;"><em>RENNTECH SLR Performance Upgrades<br />
-ECU Upgrade<br />
-Pulley<br />
-Sports Catalytic Exhaust Upgrade<br />
-Stainless Sport Sound and Performance SLR Mufflers<br />
-Stainless Steel Headers<br />
The RENNTECH SLR headers are developed and tested completely in house.  They&#8217;re hand built from mandrel-bent seamless tubing, CNC machined  stainless flanges, and include integrated o2 sensor mounting locations.  The addition of these headers creates a deep distinctive yet harmonious  sound which is entirely unique to any other sports car on the road.<br />
RENNTECH latest second generation intercooler pump; Dual kit, plus  larger front intercooler. (intercooler pump flows an impressive 8.7  G.P.M. @ 11.6 P.S.I. compared to the OEM pumps 3.00 G.P.M.)</p>
<p>RENNTECH SLR Transmission Cooling Track Kit</em> <em><br />
-CNC machined, Larger Transmission Oil Pan<br />
-Transmission Oil Pump<br />
-Large Transmission Radiator</p>
<p>RENNTECH Motor Sport Suspension Package 4</em> <em><br />
-Racing Coilovers with 3 way adjustability and remote reservoir (for better cooling)<br />
-Race technology shocks</p>
<p>Custom Front Hydraulic Lift kit with Remote</em> <em><br />
-The HLS 2 (Hydraulic Lift System) provides additional road clearance  for lowered vehicles by raising the front axle suspension via the push  of a button. When expanded, a range of up to 45 mm of lift is produced,  thereby helping sport cars avoid road clearance difficulties such as  speed bumps, road construction, etc. The system contained within the  rear of the vehicle and is actuated by a push button on the optional  remote (there by eliminating the need for any interior wiring).</p>
<p>RENNTECH Mercedes 722.6 Five Speed Transmission upgrade</em> <em><br />
-With increased engine performance it becomes necessary to further  improve the drive line components, most importantly the transmission in  order to ensure maximum power is transmitted to the drive wheels without  transmission slippage. This cannot be realized with software and only  truly be accomplished by an internal mechanical upgrade to the  transmission hardware. Our upgrade leads to improved shift response,  shift timing and greater drivability under extreme conditions without  sacrificing around town comfort. Our mechanical upgrades provide years  of trouble free operation and have been tested to in vehicles producing  over 800 hp and 1000 lb/ft of torque. The transmission is reassembled  using all new gaskets, seals, o-rings, electrical connectors as well as a  new transmission pan filter.</p>
<p>RENNTECH Performance differential, Super-Lock LSD</em> <em><br />
-Functions as a traditional open differential in low and normal-load  situations, transforming smoothly into a 100% full lock as loads rise.</p>
<p>RENNTECH SLR Performance Brakes</em> <em><br />
-16.2&#8243; Front Brakes, 8 piston calipers<br />
-14.2&#8243; Rear Brakes<br />
-High-Performance Brake Pads<br />
-Braided Steel Lines (front and rear)</em></p>

<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>If the factory standard McLaren Mercedes 727 doesn&#8217;t float your boat, this SLR 707 by WheelsAndMore might be the answer.</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><a id="more-24840"></a></strong>It comes with a lightly modded version of the supercharged V8 in the standard car, which develops 707 PS and 915 Nm of torque. It&#8217;s been done with some ECU tweaking and exhaust trickery, plus using a big 5.4 liter compressor. That will reduce the 0 to 100 km/h sprint to 3.5 seconds.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">WMA also hooks you up with lowered suspension, and a set of 20-inch wheels with red outer lip which look really nice on the car. They come wrapped in Dunlop Sportmaxx tires.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">So, if you own an old SLR and want to refresh it, this package is just the thing. Or, you can trade it in for a SLS!</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>The owner of this Brabus McLaren Mercedes SLR Roadster must be a very responsible man! He realized that he cannot drive his car fast on public roads because it&#8217;s dangerous. Instead he unleashes his supercar in&#8230; an underground parking. The guy who filmed this whole event from the passenger seat explains &#8211; after expressing his deep excitement &#8211; that they hit 150 km/h, probably 10 times the speed allowed in such facilities.

<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>This is not a tuned Mercedes McLaren SLR. This is an official limited edition of the SLR called McLaren Edition. Although the production of the SLR had come to an end with the introduction of the SLS, but apparently they have a couple more which they want to sell using this trick! Mercedes SLR McLaren Edition is limited to only 25 units, and is the best looking version of the supercar, even better than the 722.</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><strong><a id="more-17810"></a></strong>This limited edition SLR gets a tweaked version of the same 5.4-liter supercharged V8 with 620 to 650 hp, and will have a top speed in excess of 330 km/h. But the best thing about it really is the looks, which gets modified front-end with bumper, bonnet and grille, new side gills, and rear diffuser.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">There&#8217;s no picture of the interior available yet, but that must be modified as well. The price of it is currently unknown too but you may rest assured that it&#8217;s painfully high! An example of the SLR McLaren Edition is currently on display at Essen Motorshow.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>McLaren Mercedes SLR Stirling Moss, Mercedes E-class W212 and the E-Class Coupe has been awarded by GOOD DESIGN Award from Chicago Athenaeum &#8211; Museum of Architecture and Design. SLR Stirling Moss is the last of the SLR Supercar breed which features an outstanding design. The new generation of E-class sedan and Coupe, which replaced the CLK, have also been recognized as truly great designs, a successful change over the previous models.</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><strong><a id="more-10809"></a></strong></p>
<blockquote>
<div>The Chicago Athenaeum &#8211; Museum of Architecture has been presenting its international GOOD DESIGN® Award for the world&#8217;s most innovative and well-designed products each year since 1950. This year the institution decided to present three Mercedes-Benz models with the GOOD DESIGN® Award - the E-Class, the E-Class Coupé and the SLR Stirling Moss.</div>
<div>In the previous two years, the jury for the GOOD DESIGN® Award also recognised the high design quality of Mercedes-Benz automobiles by presenting the award to the GLK and the C-Class.</div>
<div>The former curator of the Museum of Modern Art, Edgar Kaufmann Jr., founded the Chicago Athenaeum &#8211; Museum of Architecture sixty years ago, together with the major modern design pioneers Charles and Ray Eames, Russel Wright, George Nelson and Eero Saarinen.</div>

<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Today Mercedes released a press note announcing that they are building the very last examples of the McLaren Mercedes SLR Stirling Moss edition, and after that the car&#8217;s era will come to an end and the SLR badge will be history.  The new Mercedes SLS will be its replacement as the firm&#8217;s supercar. I think it&#8217;s fair to say that the McMerc SLR had a huge impact on the automotive world during its time, and will remain in automobile history book as one of the all time greatest.</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><strong><a id="more-9639"></a></strong>SLR story began in beginning of this century! But it was in 2004 that finally the Vision SLR concept becomes a reality in form of a super-sport super-lux GT car. It was the first full fledged supercar which could be used everyday. It had all the standards of a luxury coupe but with the colossal power of that supercharged AMG V8 under the bonnet it also was insanely fast! It was also such a perfect car, that no one could really come up with a serious flaw in it!</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Sure the plastic interior was a bit irritating in the first models, but they addressed it in the next editions, and there was a bit of an argument about the car&#8217;s ceramic brakes which are said to be numb and senseless, but as Jeremy Clarkson proved in one of the old top Gear episodes, they can stop you from 120mph in the same distance that a normal car should be able to stop from 60mph! so they were bloody good!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img src="/wp-content/images/2009/12/Mercedes-Benz-SLR-Family-2.jpg" alt="McMerc SLR is becoming history! Mercedes Benz SLR Family 2"  title="McMerc SLR is becoming history! photo" /></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">SLR, which by the way stands for <span> &#8220;sporty&#8221;, &#8220;light&#8221; and &#8220;raceworthy&#8221;, has a family with 5 members: SLR,SLR Roadster,SLR 722,SLR 722 S Roadstser and the limited special edition SLR Stirling Moss. The SLR Moss limited to only 75 units, is actually a perfect swan song for this mighty supercar.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Overall 2000 SLR models have been produced – substantially more than any other sports car in this elite category. An SLR also represents a membership ticket to the SLR. CLUB. The spirit of the SLR will live on in this exclusive community of gentleman-drivers even after production ceases.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img src="/wp-content/images/2009/12/Mercedes-Benz-SLR-Family-3.jpg" alt="McMerc SLR is becoming history! Mercedes Benz SLR Family 3"  title="McMerc SLR is becoming history! photo" /></p>
<blockquote>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span><strong>The SLR spirit lives on</strong></span></p>
<p>The SLR project was conceived for a limited period, and as a limited edition, from the very start, and is now coming to a magnificent, entirely fitting end with the SLR Stirling Moss. The SLR spirit lives on, however, and will be perpetuated by the enthusiastic members of the SLR. CLUB. In addition to a passion for driving, the members of this exclusive community of gentleman-drivers, all of whom have an SLR model in their garages, share a discerning, sophisticated lifestyle and the enjoyment of encounters with like-minded enthusiasts. The high-quality event calendar of the SLR. CLUB includes driving events on the most demanding race circuits, participation in the Mille Miglia and tours covering the most picturesque routes in Europe. Individual, long-term backup and care at the very highest level for SLR. CLUB members is assured by dedicated Mercedes-Benz personnel well beyond the end of production.</p></blockquote>

<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>You are probably familiar with Hamann Volcano SLR, an ostentatious body kit for the McLaren Mercedes which was released about a year ago. First model was wearing a white paint with naked black carbon parts on bonnet, fenders and the boot. Then some months ago during the 2009 IAA, the tuner released a red edition with the same characteristics and now they are introducing the yellow version of this car! Technically all models are the same, Hamann has just changes the paintjob and released it as a new edition!</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><a id="more-8601"></a></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img src="/wp-content/images/2009/10/Hamann-Volcano-Production_2.jpg" alt="Hamann SLR Volcano Yellow Edition Hamann Volcano Production 2"  title="Hamann SLR Volcano Yellow Edition photo" /></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">The Volcano&#8217;s appearance might not appeal to anyone, specially fans of the original SLR, but as far as performance goes this car is a marvel. The standard V8 engine of the SLR is modified with <span>a newly programmed control unit, especially developed high performance exhaust manifolds and an amended belt pulley combination for the serial compressors, and the result of this changes is a massive 700 hp and </span><span>830 nm of torque. </span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span>Therefore the Volcano beats the original car and the factory-tuned 722 model in top speed. It is also faster in 0-60 acceleration as it only takes 3.6 seconds.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span>Just like the exterior, the cabin too features a yellow and black theme with leather and alcantara upholstery with hand-stitches and yellow carbon fiber decorations<br />

<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Hamann released the Volcano package for McLaren Mercedes SLR about nine months ago, and although it faced some serious criticism regarding its boy-racer looks they thought it&#8217;s a good idea to bring it up again, this time in a red theme specially designed for the 2009 IAA. Apart from the design, it is an engineering marvel and it&#8217;s even faster than the original SLR 722 by <span>11 km/h!</span></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span><strong><a id="more-7642"></a></strong>The source of power in the Volcano Red is a modified version of SLR&#8217;s supercharged V8 engine. With some </span><span>modifications including a newly programmed control unit, especially developed high performance exhaust manifolds and an amended belt pulley combination for the serial compressors, it now checks out 700 hp and </span><span>torque of 830 Nm!</span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span>The result of this much power is definitely blistering performance: 0 to 100 km/h in 3.6 seconds and </span><span>maximum speed of 348 km/h.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span>Hamann also had to re-program the computer which controls gear changes to make it compatible with the new engine setup, and also installed a new water pomp. The Volcano, even if you don&#8217;t look at it, is distinguishable from normal SLRs because of it&#8217;s crazy sound! It comes with six mufflers on each side of the car rather than the regular four.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span>The SLR Volcano Red is fitted with Hamann Edition Race 21 inch wheels with </span><span>255/30ZR21 tires  at the front and 345/25ZR21 at the back.</span></p>

<p style="text-align: left;">SLS is not as posh and bold as the McLaren SLR, and that&#8217;s a good thing, because it won&#8217;t have SLR price tag! The SLS costs only 165,000 euros! I know it&#8217;s not exactly cheap, but for a super car with this swell retro-classic looks and a massive 6.2 liter developing 571 bhp which makes it capable of doing 0 to 100 in 3.8 seconds and reach top speed of 315 km/h, it sounds like a bargain.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">So, here it is. Mercedes SLS which we&#8217;ve been waiting to see for a long time! How do you like it?!</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><a href="http://www.motorward.com/tag/mercedes-sls/">Mercedes SLS AMG</a> is simply the most important car to be launched in 2010. If you still haven&#8217;t heard of it, just to put it in brief, it&#8217;s a modernized 300SL Gullwing featuring the same astonishing classic shape with roof hinged doors, but with modern design and engineering. So this car is everyone&#8217;s favourite! Mercedes has revealed <a href="http://www.motorward.com/2009/04/mercedes-sls-amg-gullwing-sketches-interior/">SLS interior</a> before, but now some new pictures and sketches are out which definitely worth a look.</strong></p>
<p><a id="more-5721"></a>Mercedes previous supercar, the McLaren SLR, used to share many of its parts with other cars by the company specially the SL. But for the new one, they steer clear of their ordinary design and offer something truly unique. The cabin has the classic theme like the original 300SL, as it should, but simultaneously it feels pretty modern and up to date. The leather and carbon fiber trimming is swell, Those aluminum knobs and dials are brilliant and the way they&#8217;ve arranged the whole dashboard and console is just exquisite. In short, it looks just right!</p>
<p>Mercedes has been very reluctant to give us a glimpse of the SLS AMG so far, and the spyshots are not that revealing because of the camos. But the car will debut in summer at the IAA, so fortunately it&#8217;s not that far away. SLS AMG is a full blooded German product, McLaren has not been involved in this project since they are busy following their own expansion plans. SLS will also be much more accessible than the SLR, pricing is expected to be around $200,000 in America. Also in 2011 a roadster version will arrive. For now check out 2010 Mercedes SLS AMG technical details to know more about its power and performance:</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>About three months ago we brought to you <a href="http://www.motorward.com/2009/03/fab-design-mclaren-slr-official-pictures/">official pictures of the &#8216;SLR Desire&#8217;</a>, Fab design&#8217;s idea of the perfect McLaren Mercedes SLR, and to be honest nobody liked the way it is styled! It actually seems to be designed by a six year old boy! Anyway, at that time we mentioned that it will come to UAE and guess what! Good fellas over at <em>Alain Class</em> got the first production unit out of total 15. So we thought we should have a better look at it via these live pictures, maybe it makes a bit of sense!</strong></p>
<p><a id="more-5328"></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a title="slr-fab-design-2" rel="gb_imageset[pics-1243948519]" href="http://www.motorward.com/wp-content/pictures/2009/06/slr-fab-design-2.jpg"><img class="attachment wp-att-5325 centered" src="http://www.motorward.com/wp-content/pictures/2009/06/slr-fab-design-2.jpg" alt="A better look at FAB Design McLaren SLR Desire slr fab design 2" width="500" height="304" title="A better look at FAB Design McLaren SLR Desire photo" /></a></p>
<p>The thing is, it might look ugly and we might not like it because it ruins the reputation of the original SLR as a fantastic looking machine, but if you look at it from normal people point of view, not a car nut&#8217;s view (which you probably are, becuz you&#8217;re reading a car blog!) then it makes perfect sense. I mean the whole point of a hyper car is that people look at it and go WOW! and with the SLR Desire, this mission is accomplished. It&#8217;s the perfect car for showing off!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a title="slr-fab-design-3" rel="gb_imageset[pics-1243948519]" href="http://www.motorward.com/wp-content/pictures/2009/06/slr-fab-design-3.jpg"><img class="attachment wp-att-5326 centered" src="http://www.motorward.com/wp-content/pictures/2009/06/slr-fab-design-3.jpg" alt="A better look at FAB Design McLaren SLR Desire slr fab design 3" width="500" height="315" title="A better look at FAB Design McLaren SLR Desire photo" /></a></p>
<p>Apart from the body which is not that desirable frankly, There are some good points in this car.The V8 supercharged engine is heavily tuned to 750 hp and 1080 Nm of torque, and the interior is a work of art. A two-tone black and white leather trimming with carbon fiber parts everywhere, creates a pleasant place to be in.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a title="slr-fab-design-4" rel="gb_imageset[pics-1243948519]" href="http://www.motorward.com/wp-content/pictures/2009/06/slr-fab-design-4.jpg"><img class="attachment wp-att-5327 centered" src="http://www.motorward.com/wp-content/pictures/2009/06/slr-fab-design-4.jpg" alt="A better look at FAB Design McLaren SLR Desire slr fab design 4" width="500" height="335" title="A better look at FAB Design McLaren SLR Desire photo" /></a></p>
<p>Of course the &#8216;Desire&#8217; costs a helluva lot of money but for that you get the most important quality of them all, exclusivity! well it might not matter to you because you can&#8217;t afford it and if you could you wouldn&#8217;t waste all the money on something like this, but we are talking UAE, where the number of SLRs are greater than cabs! Sure you don&#8217;t want your SLR to look exactly as your neighbour&#8217;s!</p>
<p>After all, this car deserves a bit of attention, doesn&#8217;t it?!</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>This is the latest, and yet the best, rendering of the upcoming supercar by Mercedes called the <a href="http://www.motorward.com/tag/mercedes-sls/">SLS AMG</a>. A car which features a retro-classic shape reviving the legendary Mercedes 300 SL Gullwing with roof hinged doors, short tail and long bonnet with lots of power under it! SLS AMG has passed extensive tests around the globe and is now ready for debut at this year&#8217;s IAA Frankfurt Motor Show in September. A year after its launch in 2011, it&#8217;ll spawn a roadster version as well.</strong></p>
<p><a id="more-5314"></a>Unlike Merc&#8217;s previous supercar, the SLR, which was a joint project with the British partner McLaren, the SLS is a full blooded Mercedes. It&#8217;s not as powerful as the SLR, the 6.3 liter AMG V8 unit in it just turns out 571 hp, but it is light and agile, and best of all it&#8217;s got lots and lots of character. And character is what makes a car freezingly cool.</p>
<p><strong>Here&#8217;s Mercedes SLS AMG technical data:</strong></p>
<p><span onmouseover="_tipon(this)" onmouseout="_tipoff()">V8 at the front • Four valves per cylinder • four overhead Camshafts • Displacement 6208 cm ³ • Power 420 kW (571 bhp) at 6800/min • max.</span> <span onmouseover="_tipon(this)" onmouseout="_tipoff()"><span class="google-src-text" style="direction: ltr; text-align: left;">Torque 650 Nm at 4750/min • </span>Rear-wheel drive • Seven-speed DSG gearbox • Tire v. 265 / 35 R 19, 295/30 R 20 h. • Length / width / height 4640/1930/1210 mm • Track v. / h .</span> <span onmouseover="_tipon(this)" onmouseout="_tipoff()"><span class="google-src-text" style="direction: ltr; text-align: left;">1679/1649 mm •</span> Wheelbase 2680 mm • EU consumption mix 13.0 l super plus (provisional value) • top 315 km / h • 0-100 km / h 3,8 s • <strong>Price</strong> approximately 160.000 Euro.</span></p>

<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>According to a wise man, the size of your &#8216;thing&#8217; is inversely proportional to the flashiness of your car, so you can imagine how&#8217;s life with the owner of this ostentatious McLaren Mercedes SLR! Oh it&#8217;s worse than that! It&#8217;s not real gold plated, it&#8217;s just foil&#8230; Oh Dear!</strong><a id="more-4237"></a></p>
<p>What was exactly the problem with the original car?! Of course in Dubai where the number of SLRs are greater than cabs, if you want to stand out in public you have to do such things, like chrome paint jobs or gold plated body. For those less fortunate though, a new trend is growing fast in Dubai and that&#8217;s the foiling! They cover your car in every imaginable thing you desire through foil, so when you realize how much of a cock you look when you drive such thing around you can easily remove it!</p>
<p>The SLR worth about $400 K, foiling is not cheap either, and the plate number on this SLR is hugely expensive, so the guy has literally spent about a million dollar on his car to advertise around that&#8230; <img src='http://www.motorward.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt="From Dubai again: Golden McLaren SLR icon smile" class='wp-smiley' title="From Dubai again: Golden McLaren SLR photo" /> </p>
<p>God I can&#8217;t imagine how embarrassing is this golden SLR to be seen in.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>We were the first to bring the <a href="http://www.motorward.com/2009/02/asma-slr-perfectus-new-picture-gallery/">ASMA SLR Perfectus</a> to the web and now, hopefully, we are the first to present you official pictures of the FAB design SLR as well! And we are confident to say that like the Perfectus, at least a sample of this FAB is coming to UAE. Well, looks like people here are very fond of ugly SLRs!</strong></p>
<p><a id="more-3641"></a>Of course you can&#8217;t rationalize such cars, as they are custom vehicles made just for showing off their owner&#8217;s wealth, but I suspect anyone look at this car and say Wow that&#8217;s a beauty! That huge rear wing and triple side exhausts and that front bumper, they are not really elegant! Are they? In fact as we have pointed out many times, none of the SLR tuning jobs never really worked. Except for Brabus SLR and that&#8217;s because they had only changed the rims and nothing else!</p>
<p>Anyway, there are not much details available at the time about the specs of the car, the only thing we know is that the V8 supercharged engine in the FAB Design SLR develops 750 hp. Other adjustments like lower, stiffer suspension or bigger brakes should be done accordingly. The car is currently on display at Geneva Autosalon so expect official details very soon. Based on what we see in the pictures, most of the work is done on the exterior, the cockpit remains more or less original, only a few touches like using more red leather on dashboard, doors and steering wheel is noticeable!</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">After Mansory and Hamann finished torturing the SLR with their hideous bodykits, here comes the RENNTECH! To celebrate company&#8217;s 20th anniversary, they have planned to make 20 examples of what you see in the picture above, called RENNTECH 777. The body is totally modified and while it is not as terrible as what <a href="http://www.motorward.com/2008/10/hamann-slr-volcano-looks-like-a-toy-car/">Hamann did to the car</a>, it still deserve the word &#8216;cock&#8217; ! Of course these are only renderings and we have to see the live pictures to really judge it but it seems that no bodykit fits the SLR in the first place, it looks better naturally. Apart from the looks, RENNTECH also fiddled with the engine ans as you guess it now has 777 horsepower which can take the car to 210+ mph top speed! Then again, as a showcase of what RENNTECH is capable of, this is great. But as car for real it is just not right. Renovatio and Volcano proved this fact!</p>

<p style="text-align: left;"><strong>Press Release</strong></p>
<blockquote>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span class="headingPressRelease">RENNTECH 777 20th Anniversary, or:  Horsepower Wars really Really REALLY Not Over </span></p>
<p>Lake Park, FL – Earlier this week, AMG boss Volker Mornhinweg<br />
announced that â the horsepower war is over.&#8221;  If this<br />
sounds familiar, it&#8217;s because AMG issued a similar press<br />
release LAST JANUARY.</p>
<p>&#8220;Last year, it was a coincidence that we were releasing a<br />
new, 695 hp performance package for the 65 series AMG<br />
cars at around the same time.  We sent out a press<br />
release that said &#8216;HP War Not Over&#8217;,&#8221; recalls Hartmut<br />
Feyhl, president of RENNTECH and four-star General of<br />
the horsepower wars.  &#8220;This year it is the same timing<br />
again, and we have something much more extreme to<br />
announce for our 20th Anniversary.&#8221;</p>
<p>Feyhl founded RENNTECH in 1989, and the company<br />
has since established itself as one of the world&#8217;s premier<br />
tuning firms and the foremost authority on Mercedes-Benz<br />
performance tuning.  2009 marks the company&#8217;s 20th year<br />
in business, and the company intends to celebrate by<br />
releasing a small number of extreme, limited edition<br />
performance vehicles, beginning with the 777 hp,<br />
RENNTECH 777 shown here.</p>
<p>&#8220;This 777 concept is really an all-new car that makes use<br />
of the advanced carbon fiber chassis of the SLR McLaren.<br />
It can be described as a street-legal track car, or<br />
something closer to what the enthusiasts were hoping for<br />
from the SLR, originally &#8211; which is more a successor to the<br />
McLaren F1.&#8221;</p>
<p>RENNTECH heavily revised the SLR McLaren bodywork<br />
and aero package using some of the same technology the<br />
company used to develop the the GLK Hybrid Rally Racer<br />
for Mercedes-Benz, including advanced CFD software to<br />
develop the aerodynamics for improved downforce.  Even<br />
with the big wing, splitters, and skirts, a top speed in<br />
excess of 210 mph is well within reach for the 777.</p>
<p>The 777 is much more than lightweight bodywork,<br />
however.  The 5.5 L supercharged &#8220;Kompressor&#8221; v8<br />
engine is heavily revised, with internal and external<br />
performance upgrades and a significantly upgraded<br />
cooling system.</p>
<p>Getting that power to the ground is the job of a fully<br />
redesigned suspension and driveline, with a heavily<br />
reinforced transmission sending power to RENNTECH&#8217;s<br />
revolutionary new limited-slip differential.  Built for<br />
RENNTECH by Japanese supplier OS Giken, the<br />
recently-released differential allows for 100% locking<br />
between the drive wheels for unsurpassed mid-corner<br />
traction.  Aggressive Nitto NT-05 ultra-high performance<br />
tires wrapped around extremely lightweight, 1 pc. center-<br />
locking wheels round out the street -legal handling<br />
package.</p>
<p>&#8220;The 777 will be a very special car,&#8221; explains Hartmut.<br />
&#8220;The first example is being built now, and will be ready<br />
this Spring.  We intend to build a few different extreme<br />
vehicles like this for our 20th anniversary, with each one<br />
being strictly limited to 20 units.  They are all very exciting<br />
projects, and we will be announcing them throughout the<br />
year, as they approach completion.&#8221;</p>
