Mercedes-Benz SL (R230) by Renown Auto Style

Renown Auto Style is back once again with a wide body kit for the Mercedes-Benz SL (R230). After mounting this aftermarket body kit, the SL is just about as wide as a Lamborghini Murcielago. It can be fitted with Renown three-piece concave wheels up to 21 inches, while the one in these photos has R10S-C 20x10.5 front and 21x13.5 rear wheels.

All components are manufactured in the United States except for the Mercedes-Benz original LED daytime running lights. The SL's body panels are constructed from woven cloth FRP with an epoxy resin and have been vacuum-bagged for better strength/weight ratio.

Looking pretty much like an SL65 AMG Black Series, this custom car has also received an ECU tuning and a few upgraded internals courtesy of Raging Bull Performance who managed to bump the engine's output to around 700 HP (515 kW).

Mercedes-Benz G65 AMG Spyridon by Hamann

The latest Mercedes-Benz G65 AMG has received new looks and a power boost from Hamann for the 2013 Geneva Motor Show.

The new hood is made from carbon fiber and weighs only 6.5 kg (14.3 lbs) while the mirror housings are also made from this lightweight material. Other changes include different rear apron with built-in diffuser, rear spoiler, side skirts with LEDs which light up the triple tailpipes sitting on both sides of the car.

By installing a custom exhaust system and making other changes, Hamann was able to increase its output to 702 HP (516 kW) and 811 lb-ft (1,100 Nm).

Brabus 800 Roadster based on Mercedes-Benz SL 65 AMG

Brabus will showcase in Geneva next week the 800 Roadster based on the 2013 Mercedes-Benz SL 65 AMG. The standard variant is powered by an AMG V12 6.0-liter bi-turbo engine producing 630 HP (463 kW) and 737 lb-ft (1,000 Nm) of torque. Brabus has tuned this mill to output 800 HP (588 kW) and an impressive 1,047 lb-ft (1,420 Nm) of torque which will be limited to 811 lb-ft (1,100 Nm).

While the stock version completes the 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) run in 4 seconds, this heavily modified variant will do it in 3.7 seconds, on its way to an electronically-limited top speed of 217 mph (350 km/h) as opposed to the regular model which is limited to 155 mph (250 km/h).

Aside from the power boost, Brabus is also offering an aerodynamic body kit for the roadster which has been developed in the wind tunnel. All components are made from carbon fiber and can get a matte or a glossy finish in the body's color.

20-inch alloys are supplied by Brabus with 255/30 ZR20 and 305/25 ZR20 (front/rear) high-performance tires. The ride height can be lowered by about an inch (25mm) thanks to the special control module for the ABC suspension.

Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG by mcchip-dkr

The Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG has received a significant power boost and other tweaks from mcchip-dkr. The 6.3-liter V8 naturally-aspirated engine has been tweaked and it now outputs 660 HP (485 kW) and 750 Nm (553 lb-ft) of torque, a lot more than the version fitted with the optional AMG Performance Package which delivers 487 HP (358 kW) and 600 Nm (443 lb-ft).

This was done by installing a MC660 supercharger kit, as well as a sport exhaust manifold, custom exhaust system with sport catalysts and remote-operated valve control. The C63 AMG has also received KV1 20-inch wheels with Dunlop Sportmaxx tires and a KW Clubsport suspension. In addition, the top speed limiter has been removed, while the white exterior has received a foliation from CoverEFX.

Mercedes-Benz SLR by CUT48 and Edo Competition

The Mercedes-Benz SLR has received a complete foil wrap from CUT48 and a power boost from Edo Competition. Specialized in providing foil wraps, CUT48 says this blue and black gloss wrapping for the SLR is available for a steep 4,350 EUR (approximately 5,800 USD), but for a person who owns such a car money is no object.

Aside from the new look, the hand-built AMG V8 engine has received a power increase from the standard 626 HP (460 kW) to 722 HP (531 kW) courtesy of Edo Competition. The torque figure has also jumped from 580 lb-ft (780 Nm) to 656 lb-ft (890 Nm). This was possible by remapping the ECU, compressor tweaks, installing a new exhaust manifold and customizing the intake system.

As a result, the supercar is able to hit 200 km/h (124 mph) in less than 10 seconds and it will keep on going until it reaches an electronically limited top speed of 345 km/h (214 mph).
