2012 Mercedes-Benz SLS 500

The Mercedes-Benz SL series is legendary. Tracing its roots as far back as 60 years, they have long been the symbol of Mercedes Benz’s commitment to creating a sports car that combines performance, style, comfort and innovation. That is why there are high expectations for the 2012 Mercedes-Benz SL500. This new generation of SL cars is more than capable of living up to expectations.

Exterior & Interior

In almost every conceivable angle, the new SL features an upgrade across the board. For the first time ever, the body is made almost purely of aluminum, allowing a savings of 140 kilograms in weight. That savings, coupled with the dynamic styling, is true to what the SL name means: Sporty and Light. Not only that, but the interior is made to be comfortable, true to the standards of this premium luxury sports car.

Performance

But of course, this car is not just about creature comforts. A new engine, dubbed the BLUE Direct by Mercedes Benz, features improved strength and fuel efficiency. The 5 liter V8 twin-turbo engine produces 429 horsepower while increasing fuel efficiency by 29 percent more than the engine found in the previous SL generation.

This is coupled with a suspension that presents a perfect balance between comfort and handling. Together with the aforementioned weight savings, the 2012 Mercedes Benz SL500 is capable of giving a superior driving experience. With this new generation of SL, this sports car legend is alive and well.

2011 Brabus Mercedes-Benz SLS Roadster

By itself, the Mercedes Benz SLS is already a superb automobile, as close to perfection that a sports car can possibly achieve. But in the hands of tuner company Brabus, they have elevated the already high standards of this car to another level.

So what makes the 2011 Brabus Mercedes Benz SLS Roadster special?

Design

Hanging on to their reputation for “style and performance”, Brabus has gone on to transform the SLS convertible into their definition of the ultimate SLS. The aerodynamic kit that Brabus used for the SLS used for the coupe is modified to adapt to the convertible’s different aerodynamic characteristics. As usual, the aerodynamic parts are made of carbon fiber, on par with what’s used on race cars.

If that doesn’t sound lightweight enough, custom made 21 inch Brabus forged wheels further saves weight from the body. Brabus developed a suspension in partnership with Bilstein, provides a perfect compromise between razor sharp handling on the track and proper shock absorbing on the road. A front lift system allows the front to be raised to avoid obstacles such as speed humps to avoid damage.

Performance

Then Brabus proceeded to modifying the engine with their B63 S Tuning Kit. Featuring new ECU settings and a high performance exhaust system that is enough to raise the output of the SLS engine into 611 horsepower, which is not a small amount in any stretch of the imagination.

Combine all that with a fully customizable high quality interior, and you get the 2011 Brabus Mercedes Benz SLS Roadster, a car that is special in almost every single way.

2012 Carlsson Mercedes-Benz SLK

Carlsson is at it again. One of the best tuners in the world, they are able to turn Mercedes Benz cars into well rounded supercars that set the standards on how Mercedes Benz cars must be modified. This time, they have taken the Classic SLK and turned it into a total masterpiece.

This car is the 2012 Carlsson Mercedes Benz 

Performance

The tuning package first starts on the exterior. A body kit that is exclusively styled gives this car a unique character. Enhancing aerodynamic performance while providing a flashier look, this kit brings out the best in the already sophisticated SLK package.

A new suspension kit lowers the car while providing sharp handling, and 20 inch lightweight wheels provide the legs for this car. And to top the performance tools list, a Carlsson engine tuning kit increases output to 224 horsepower for the SLK200, and 239 horsepower for the SLK250.

Interior

As always for Carlsson, they also improved the interior to match the updates done for the SLK’s styling and performance. Among the list of modifications that they do to the interior are: Nappa Leather upholstery for the seats, pedals made out of high quality aluminum, and Alcantara, leather, wood, and carbon fiber trimmings round up the interior setup.

Carlsson takes pride on the craftsmanship of their products, which is why the Carlsson Mercedes Benz SLK also comes with a 3 year/100000 kilometer warranty that covers all components of the car. And with only up to 150 cars scheduled to come out of the Carlsson factory every year, this car is bound to be super exclusive too.

Mercedes-Benz Kicherer C63 T Supersport

An unmodified Mercedes Benz C63 is already powerful with 473hp tucked between the front tires, so any thought of making this into something that can scare a sports car owner is pretty special indeed.

Enter the Kicherer Mercedes-Benz C63 T Supersport. This is one tuner who decided to make the C63 run better than it ever will. Kicherer is a German tuner specializing in exclusive vehicles. They decided to up the ante on this big high performance station wagon, and tune it they did.

Performance

It starts with a big 457 hp, 6.2 liter V8 and tuned it to give 550hp and 640nm of torque, using stainless exhausts, an ecu remapping and a sports air filter. With this increase in power, they then replaced the drive shafts of the car so that it can handle that much power at all times.

They then opted to install big 20 inch wheels and tires to help grip the road even at 320 kph. Not only that, they decided that the car was too high and lowered it, and then fitted composite brake pads to improve the stopping power of the car.

Interior

Aerodynamic enhancements are then applied by Kicherer to improve its handling by adding carbon fiber front splitters, wider wheel arches, side sill set and a set of enhanced side mirror covers; while retouching the interior provided the necessary cool ride factor. The customer has the option of ordering this one of kind super wagon in Nappa leather, Alcantara dashboard, door covers and roof lining.

Mercedes-Benz ML63 AMG

High performance SUVs are here to stay, and thanks to modern technology, they are becoming more and more powerful with every single year. Perhaps knowing this, Mercedes Benz created a car that is going to be competitive in this ever changing segment, and brings something extra to the table too, with their new release: the2012 Mercedes Benz ML63 AMG.

To make the ultimate ML, Mercedes Benz has gone to their resident tuner AMG to come up with a super SUV. There are a lot of things that they have done to make this truck go over the top. At first glance, you can see that this car absolutely means business, thanks to its enhanced body styling and the 20 x 9 inch set of AMG wheels, with a 21 x 10 inch set optional. Then AMG proceeds to improve the quality of the interior, with sports seats and other AMG inspired bits and pieces giving the interior some sporty feel.

Performance

And then, there’s the dynamic stuff. An updated version of the 6.3 liter twin turbo V8 engine with direct injection produces 525 horsepower, providing a seemingly endless surge of energy to all 4 wheels. And with an AMG Speedshift Plus 7G tronic transmission, it allows both quick response and efficient engine use. The AMG-tuned suspension, handling dynamics are superb. And to top it off, the 2012 Mercedes Benz ML63 AMG is up to 28 percent more fuel efficient than the model that it replaced.

A Different Look
Known as a compact 2 seater convertible offering from Mercedes Benz, the SLK is seen more as a cruiser that is capable of providing sharp performance. But AMG apparently has other plans for this edition of the SLK. The first thing that would make you think that it is special is its looks at first glance. It is equipped with AMG-made add-ons such as custom wheels, a more aerodynamic body kit and 2 twin exhaust pipes at the rear. But it doesn’t end there.

Performance

AMG has managed to maximize the performance of the SLK. They have thrown in a 5.5 liter V8 engine that is unique in a lot of ways. It produces a healthy 422 horsepower while being the most fuel efficient V8 of its size in the world today. This innovative engine is enough to propel this car to 100 kph from a standstill within 4.6 seconds. Other modifications include a modified AMG suspension, torque vectoring brakes and ESP. The combination of these modifications promises a dynamic driving experience.

When put together, the 2012 Mercedes Benz SLK 55 AMG may not just be the fastest SLK ever. Perhaps the most advanced car in its segment, it is a car that is definitely ahead of its time.
