Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG by FAB Design

FAB Design has finally released some shots of their take on the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG. The latest sports car from the German manufacturer has reached a ‘proper’ upgrade.

The tuner changed the front bumper, side skirts, rear bumper and diffuser. They have added a hood scoop, rear spoiler, 20 inch rims, lower suspension using special springs and 40hp of additional performance. The total horsepower is now 611hp. The sprint from 0-100km/h has increased with only 0.1 second to 3.7 seconds.

Any thoughts on the new design of this German sports car?

Collaboration Aston Martin and Mercedes-Benz

Aston Martin

Autocar reports that Mercedes boss Dieter Zetsche believes a collaboration between his company and Aston Martin could happen pretty soon. Plans for Mercedes to supply Aston Martin with engines and possibly platforms for future models can be an option. Zetsche said:

Smaller brands need help with new technology and it’s possible we could do things in the future.

We have to wait and see what the collaboration will hold in the future.
