Mercedes-Benz SL Styling Kit by Lorinser

After the latest facelift of the Mercedes-Benz SL Class, Lorinser’s designers headed back to the draw board to cook up a new styling kit for the German roadster. The result is a full bodykit that will satisfy the eyes of any yuppie boy racer. The kit consists of a front bumper spoiler complete with a blunt Lorinser badge that replaces Merc’s famous star, new fenders with redesigned air vents, side skirts with air openings, a new rear bumper with an integrated diffuser that houses the quad exhaust tips and a boot lid spoiler. -Continued

The aero kit is complemented by a new set of alloy wheels while Lorinser also offers a series of interior accessories for those who want to live on the wild side.

Even the mighty Mercedes-Bezn SL63 AMG can’t escape from the horsepower-possessed German tuning firms. Thanks to a series of modifications that include a new sport exhaust system, Kicherer has managed to boost the SL63 AMG’s naturally aspirated 6.2-liter V8 engine output by 35 HP to a total of 560 HP while torque is also increased to 670Nm (494lb-ft).

To match the SL63 AMG’s performance, Kicherer has developed a new bodykit with carbon fiber accessories than include a front apron, a rear diffuser that houses a new set of exhaust tailpipes and mirror caps.

With 670Hp and 1,000 Nm of torque, the Mercedes-Benz SL 65 AMG Black Series is the most powerful model to come out of the AMG factory yet. But the Black Series is not only more powerful it’s also 250kg or 550 pounds lighter than its 612Hp SL65 AMG stablemate thanks to the fixed carbon-fiber reinforced plastic rooftop, the lightweight alloy wheels and the numerous carbon fiber composites bodywork components. As a result, the Black Series needs just 3.9 sec to reach 100 km/h (62mph) while 200 km/h (124mph) is attained after 11.0 sec. The top speed is electronically limited at 320 km/h or 199mph. -Videos after the jump

Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG Black Series 670Hp

The evil-twin of the recently facelifted Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG has a name: Black Series. The most menacing SL to exit AMG’s factory comes with a breathtaking $320,000 price tag and a twin-turbocharged 6.0-liter V12 engine pumping out 670HP at 5,400 rpm and 738 lb.-ft of torque (SL65 AMG: 612Hp).

But that’s not all as the SL65 AMG Black Series features carbon fiber hood, fenders and trunk, along with a fixed carbon fiber roof with an integrated roll cage that replaces the retractable hard top. As a result, the Black Series weighs in at 4,122 pounds (1,869 kg) or 550 pounds (250kg) less than the stock SL65.

AMG also souped up the appearance of the Black Series with an aerodynamic wide bodykit that features seven air ducts - three in the bumper, two on the hood and two in the fenders- to cool off the massive twin-turbocharged V12 engine. According to preliminary figures, the Black Series can go from zero to 62 mph (100 km/h) in 3.9 sec while top speed is limited to 199 mph or 320 km/h. -45 High Res Images after the jump
