It is not surprising when you hear about the MEC Design studio for the first time: the Berlin studio was established in 2006. Since then the tuners had a complete program of improvements for the six models of Mercedes. But when it’s time to get down to the flagship of S-Class, engineers decided not to use all their experience on one hundred percent

As a result, experts have not tuned the most important thing in the car - the engine. But for the rest of things they have nothing to be blamed for. For example, for air suspension and active running ABC tuners wrote the new management programs to reduce the clearance at 20-70 mm.

A more aggressive sedan was ennobled with bumpers (the rear - with a diffuser), small spoilers on the lid and luxury light alloy rims, the size of which varies within the limits of 18-22 inches. Of course, it is a set of wheels which cost the largest sum of money - from 5455 to 9627 euro. The second time the client will have to say goodbye to about 6500 euro for the aerodynamic false weight. But as can be seen, Berliners have not yet gone to greedy.

But in the pursuit of power tuners do not forget about adequate behavior of Mercedes on the road – they installed more rigid and shorter springs and new brake system. And the price is adequate too, as expensive materials were not used during the tuning.

In particular, thoroughly modernized atmospheric engine volume of 5.4 liter V8 received additional 400 cm working volume, a new firmware program, a sports air filter, new intake and exhaust system of stainless steel. As a result of tuning the cars power has increased from 360 hp up to 565 «horses», and torque - with 510 Nm to 770 Nm.

Relatively young tuning-studio from Germany - FAB Design – are true specialists in refining and updating Mercedes-Benz car brand. After 12-years working experience with middle and premium-class cars company has decided to perform a cute tuning project of a solid sedan from Daimler concern. As the object of tuning a short-based version of Maybach 57S was chosen.

From outside body modifications it is necessary to note the unique aerodynamic improvement. With the new Maybach bodykit added additional 30 cm in width, resulting in a total width of the vehicle as 2010 mm. Special «gills» on the wings have not only the aesthetic function, but also responsible for additional cooling of the brakes. The only debatable point is the painting. According to many experts, blue metallic doesn’t suit the car of this class, though tuned.

Technical changes in the car are not so outstanding. Specialists from the FAB Design has tuned engine block and increased the power of a 6-liter V12 biturbo by 38 hp - Up to 650 hp. Also, worth noting is that the torque has received an additional increase of 25 Nm and now amounts to 1025 Nm. Despite this refinement, the acceleration has not significantly increased. Acceleration up to 100 km / h sedan reaches for 4.9 s and top speed now is 303 km / h due to the removed limiter.

Also Maybach got the original wheels with sport tires on the 265/30 R20 and 325/25 R20 dimension. And the interior was skinned with cream leather and blue Alcantara.

Impressed with fantastic designs and accumulated desires of their customers, Hamann Motorsport decided to place on the wheel a serial McLaren Mercedes SLR… by their own!

Volcano - is more than impressive result of these efforts.

This interpretation of McLaren Mercedes – is a super car which is simply breathtaking due to its contrasting surfaces of milky white and a black silky perfection in the fine coal fiber which you can only imagine.

The front lip, side sills and decently advanced wings add muscle car and do follow, however, the lines approved by Mersedes constructors. Hamann uploaded testosterone in the SLR veins and aggravated soft, even somewhat formless appearance of the car. Pendent body of the bonnet is now completely different and now has a much more nasty appearance,and from the back, now he has a three-end exhaust pipe.

In the rear of the car there is a truly monstrous spoler in the size of the table to squeeze SLR at speeds over 320 km / h on the road. Now due to such interventions, which took Hamann , SLR will reach those speeds with increasing frequency.

When you click on the Start button, you will notice a new feature in this car, very different - furious and laryngeal tone – the sound of 5.4 liter V8 compressor has always been threatening, play now just another song that sounds like an earthquake and wild boar’s roar.

Hamann reprogrammed the turbine control, resulting in greater throughput and raised compressor pressure, which in turn will require additional water pump to cool.

At higher speeds on a track with rough surfaces the unpleasant sound of tires blackened the impression a bit.

Serial machine itself was wonderful, as high-class Mercedes has been teaching almost every driver how to achieve an insane speed.

This SLR has a very attractive tire Hankook S1 Evo, which wraps 21 inch racing wheels Hamann . These improvements costed 8. 000 euro, and do worth the money spent.

The original Hamanns wheels with elegant black rims look like heavy work boots on the supermodel.

Despite of sporting appearance amenities were kept inside the car.

And also Hamann got rid of unpleasant plastic in the dashboard, which is now out of carbon and red alcantara.
