Gullwing doors, 6,2 liter V8 with up to 631PS & 635NM torque, under 4 seconds to 100km / h and a V.-Max of well over 300km / h! The key data for the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG (internal name C 197, SLS AMG Roadster R 197) are still read spectacularly even 6 years after its market launch and anyone who owns an SLS these days is unlikely to think about selling it again. In my opinion, the coupe in particular is the highlight. Not that the R197 convertible is not at least as spectacular as the coupe, the built-in gullwing doors just make the difference in my opinion. Since the 1954 SL, built from 1957 to 300, no Mercedes has been fitted with this type of door ex works. Only the Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren (199 series) can keep up in terms of optics. Based on the Mercedes-Benz 300 SLR Uhlenhaut Coupé of the 1950s, the SLR was equipped with butterfly doors that can also be opened spectacularly. But now to the SLS from the tuner RACE South Africa! The owner of this piece of jewelry had some subtle changes in the head and race! was responsible for the execution. The tuner missed the SLS, probably the most elaborate change, a complete 3M foliation in dark gray matt and sets skilful black accents such as on the gills or the grille. In addition, the SLS got a set ADV.1 Wheels alloy wheels type ADV.5 in matte black missed. To the exact specifications of the rims makes RACE Although no information is given, we assume that the rims roughly correspond to the standard format of 9,50 × 19 inches (front) and 11 × 20 inches (rear).

Finally, there was an Akrapovic sports exhaust system for the SLS which should ensure that the M 159 E 63 - V8 clearly recognizes its voice and a phenomenal car is finished that has remained true to its style even with tuning. The RACE team! South Africa published the SLS the days and we are of course pleased to be able to show you the pictures. After the subtle and coherent tuning cure that the SLS was allowed to endure, it is now visually significantly changed, more individual and more dynamic than the production version, without being exaggerated or even chubby.

So whoever has been secretly thinking of buying an SLS AMG for a long time or is even a happier owner for that is RACE! South Africa is definitely an interesting starting point when it comes to individually differentiating the vehicle from the production model. And for all those who are not necessarily near the tuner (Johannesburg, Gauteng, South Africa), the vehicle may serve as a tuning template for the local tuning partner.
