FAB Design has refined the new Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG and turned the conservative, standard product into a dream car.
The tuners from Mellingen have expanded their programme from one originally limited to Mercedes to now include the FAB Exclusive Line. Here, mainly in accordance with customers' wishes, small numbers - limited to no more than 15 - of other luxury brands are developed. In such a way were Maybach and McLaren refined. The FAB Panamera is, therefore, the first - but definitely not the last - vehicle from this new series that doesn't come from the house of Daimler.
True to the company's philosophy of creating something even more individual from a noble factory vehicle, a more accentuated version of the wing-door car has been produced. Especially the aerodynamics benefited from the high class fine tuning. To do this the developers from Mellingen developed and mounted a sporty front spoiler lip with vertically mounted daylight driving lights along with a rear apron with integrated diffuser in a similar design to the front element.
An equally output boosting rear spoiler that was specially constructed to perfectly harmonise with the factory mounted extendable counterpart crowns it all.
The optical and aerodynamic cherry on the SLS cake are the side skirts made of visible carbon fiber.
A further highlight on the retro-sportscar are the 3-part 20 inch "Evoline" complete wheels. The classic hole-design thus harmonises perfectly with the equally classic sportscar silhouette of the FAB SLS.
In addition a fitting sports suspension set was mounted that equally satisfies the requirement for both comfort and sport.
At the rear of the vehicle a FAB stainless steel sports exhaust with four oval endpipes lets the exhaust gases go sonorously free. Integrated valve steering gives the driver the possibility – according to the occasion – of choosing between a sonorous and a discrete sound.
The FAB developers also worked on the improving the performance and thereby achieved an every day capability of 611 PS – instead of the normal 571 PS of factory vehicles.
