Mercedes-Benz. SLS AMG. In the matter of individualisation the traditional fine tuner KICHERER has taken on the new AMG Mercedes SLS. True to the company's philosophy to only make coherent amendments and to retain the basic form of the AMG, an in essence even more sporty version than the wing-door version was created. Especially the aerodynamics have benefited from a high-class fine tuning. For this the developers developed and mounted a sports spoiler skirt at the front and special diffuser fins on the rear of the vehicle. All new parts designed by KICHERER are naturally made of high quality carbon. A further highlight on the sports car are the 3-part 20 inch RS-1 lightweight wheels. The classic double-spoke design harmonises perfectly with the equally classic sportscar silhouette of KICHERER's SLS Supersport Edition Black.For this a sports screw-thread suspension was fitted with a so-called “front-up” system. This enables not only a more sporty driving mode but also suits the sports car very well.Sat, 13 Mar 2010 22:59:11 GMThttps://d4u.com.ua/en/series/Mercedes-Benz-SLS-AMG/go/Official-F1-2010-Safety-Car-Mercedes-Benz-SLS-AMG/news.details.htmlNews.
