Originally intended for posting during the Geneva motor show, we put this story on the backburner, especially after we already covered it quickly before its official release. Now we have the full details and a new set of photos to include.
The Swiss tuner from Hunzenschwil has developed a widebody kit forthe Mercedes SLS AMG called the Gullstream. The body kit is comprisedof a front bumper with vertically positioned daylight running lights,widened fenders which flow seamlessly down into the sides skirts andthen up again into the widened quarter panels. The rear bumper withmold vents has a diffuser that supports the extendable lip spoiler madeof carbon fiber. On the roof there's a non-functional air scoop.Footware is provided by 3-piece, 10 and 12 inch concave Evolutionwheels while a Koni coilover suspension from the SLS GT3 racing car isavailable. FAB has developed a stainless steel sports exhaust systemwith an integrated valve control and four classic round endpipes, apair on each side.
Power output is upped from the standar 571 PS (420 kW / 563 bhp) to615 PS (452 kW / 607 bhp). Torque is also slightly raised to 690 Nm at4600 rpm. Thus the FAB SLS Gullstream takes only 3.6 seconds to hit 100km/h and just 11 seconds to 200 km/h (124 mph). Acceleration finallylevels off at 325 km/h (202 mph). |
