Kicherer blacks out the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG
The Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG isn't exactly subtle to begin with, but Kicherer's take on the theme is decidedly more... stealthy. For starters, the German tuner wrapped the car in matte black vinyl for a more subdued look. It then replaced the big Silver Star in the mouth with a blacked-out blank grille that looks like a baleen whale's mouth. And while the rims on the 20-inch wheels (21 in the back) are polished for a little contrast, the spokes get a blackout treatment as well. Matte-finish carbon fiber trim and aero pieces complete the overall package.
Underhood, the engine has been tuned from the stock 563 horsepower and 479 lb-ft of torque up to 621 horsepower (equivalent to 630 on the metric scale, hence the 63 moniker) and 516 lb-ft. That's good for a claimed 3.5-second sprint to 62 mph and a 199 mph top end. Have a closer look in the gallery below.

KICHERER MERCEDES-BENZ SLS AMG 63 SUPERSPORT GT
Beautiful women and beautiful cars – a combination that belongs inevitably together. With both breath-taking super models, the KICHERER SLS 63 Supersport GT and a former playmate, the perfect opportunity arose for star photographer Frank Luger to let off steam while photographing. The result can be described as a true masterpiece – a perfect symbiosis of eroticism and technical refinement.
Angry and aggressive!
After the SLR became anything but a brilliant success as super sports car, the designers and technicians of Mercedes Benz were able to create a true masterpiece with the current SLS 63 AMG. And as often as we see the SLS on Germany?s streets in the meantime, the super sports car of AMG seems to sell like hot cakes. Exactly for this reason, specialist KICHERER also upgrades and presents a comprehensive finishing programme. The new show vehicle with the classy name "Supersport GT" is more than just spectacular, particularly thanks to its matt black paint and its vicious shark mouth.
As usual, KICHERER focuses inside and outside on the almost wasteful use of the exclusive carbon fire material. The exterior package for the SLS consists of a hand-made front grill unit with big vertical fins, which let the front of the sports car appear extremely aggressive. Furthermore, a set of carbon fins are available for the mudguard and the cowl. The full foliation of the entire body in matt black is a real eye-catcher.
630 PS & 700 Nm!
Technically, KICHERER equips the SLS significantly as well since the performance increases from 571 to 630 HS thanks to the optimisation of the engine management. At the same time, the maximum torque increases from 650 to 700 Nm, resulting in a significantly improved driving performance. Thus, the SLS Supersport GT accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in about 3.5 seconds and achieves a maximum speed of regulated 320 km/h. The exclusive damper sport exhaust system with the dynamic pressure regulation made of stainless steel and the hand-made exhaust pipe blend set presents itself conducive in its performance.
Exclusive: RS-1 forged wheel!
The in-house KICHERER RS-1 forged wheels present themselves exclusively. The hand-made three-part pieces rotate at the front in10Jx20 and at the drive shaft in 11,5Jx21. For an even bigger driving pleasure, the Mercedes specialist from Stockach installed a special height adjustable suspension kit with lift-up function. Hereby, the chassis can be lifted or lowered by about 30 mm by the push of a button.
For the interior of the Supersport GT
KICHERER has made special carbon fibre accessories, which refine the inside of the door, the centre console, the door entrance border covers, the back of the seats and the tray lid exclusively. It should be noted that KICHERER has protected industrial designs available for the front grill unit and the exhaust pipes!

I like it. The SLS needs body mods as the stock model is too rounded at the lower fenders. The tires are too exposed and the car looks softer. The flaired panels look more muscular.
The matte one, not digging it. If it was gloss black, I'd be twisting in my seat over it.
JK...I don't get too excited over Benzes.

Despite that, I like this car. The brakes are massive!
