(from Kicherer Press Release) KICHERERs product range has the perfect sports package for any Mercedes in store and even satisfies more extravagant needs. Even now, the tuners from Stockach have taken the new SL 63 / 65 AMG under their wings.
In the KICHERER version,
the sporty naturally aspirated engine benefits from a performance
increased by about 40 hp and 40 Nm. Consequently, this awesome
powertrain disposes of more than 560 hp and comes up with a torque
of more than 670 Nm. Thus equipped, the KICHERER SL 63 accelerates
from 0 to 100 km/h in 4.3 seconds and reaches a top speed of 320
km/h.
At the same time, the EVO sports exhaust system eroticises its environment with a deeply saturated and thudding sound without being so obtrusive as to get on the drivers nerves after a while.
Combined with the electronic chassis optimisation, the ultra-light 20 RS-1 aluminium wheels guarantee a perfect grip in any driving situation.
A diffuser made of genuine carbon calms the storms that rage at the KICHERER SLs rear end at high speeds and provides the coup-convertible with a significantly optimised downforce. Further aerodynamic subtleties are brought about by the front apron coverings which are also made of carbon.
The carbon mirror shells, however, are telling visual expressions of the roadsters new sportiness.
In August 2008, the
second stage will be accomplished: An all-carbon rear lid with
an electronically
extendable rear spoiler will be available by then. It will provide
the Super SL with an even better high speed handling.
