The Mercedes SL65 AMG Black Series is already an impressive car, but the Brabus tuning company had to modify it even further for a customer in Dubai. Calling it the Vanish, Brabus hooked up the Mercedes SL65 with larger turbos, huge brakes, a new transmission, matte black wrap, and a strange plastic piece on the hood to push 800 horsepower. The tuned Mercedes SL65 AMG features the 6.0-liter twin-turbo V12 all concealed inside the complete carbon fiber body that shaved off a whopping 551 pounds. This raised the top speed to 199 mph, accomplished a 0-60 time in the three second range, but sadly only 350 will ever be made.

Kicherer Mercedes E50 Coupe
Check out the new Mercedes E50 Coupe that has been tuned by the German firm Kicherer. Based off the Mercedes E-Class line, the E500 received the nickname E50 Coupe from the tuning company after it received several styling and performance upgrades. Consisting of the Kicherer Performance series styling, made of carbon fiber, the exterior of the Mercedes was hooked up with a new front lip spoiler, side skirts, carbon fiber mirror casings, rear diffuser, and optional three blade sports grille. The wheels you see are aftermarket 20-inch RS-1 that recently hit the market, and come wrapped in high performance tires along with a new braking system underneath.
Carlsson C25
The German tuning firm Carlsson announced earlier this month of their latest sports car project dubbed the C25. This came prior to the Geneva Motor Show, where we all got to see the Carlsson C25 masterpiece. From the front view of the car, you can describe it as dynamic and aggressive, with trapezoid shapes for the large air inlets. Typical Carlsson styling if you ask me, but if you look at it from the side, it confirms the fact that we are looking at classic GT-proportions, with a front centered engine. The rear view is just as impressive, and even holds a highly visible aerodynamic functionality.
Brabus Mercedes E-Class Coupe
Here we have a Brabus car released at the Geneva Auto Show, based off the Mercedes E-Class Coupe, and hiding a powerful V12 motor under the hood. They’re calling it the “Brabus E V12 Coupe,” but the tuners did more than just engine modifications. At the exterior level, the Mercedes coupe features a carbon fiber body kit consisting of a new front spoiler, side skirts, rear diffuser, and air vents in the front to reduce lifting forces. Several other exterior upgrades to the E-Class coupe include LED daytime running lights, a new adjustable coilover suspension kit, and underneath the 19-inch wheels, a high performance braking system. Be ready to hand over a ton of paper for this job however, since Brabus tuning doesn’t come cheap under the hood.
AK-Car Design Mercedes SLS AMG
AK-Car Design is a less popular German tuning firm that has released this new styling kit for the Mercedes SLS AMG. The new package for the gullwing Mercedes model looks good, and we will remember these tuners if they continue to put out quality work like this. The performance was left stock for the engineers at Mercedes-Benz to worry about, but the highly anticipated car did receive a unique aero kit. Included in the package are new front and rear bumpers, a front grille, side skirts, and a redesigned diffuser with two sets of integrated exhaust tips.
Expression Mercedes ML 63 AMG Wide Body Kit
Here is a wide body kit released late last year by the Belgian tuning company Expression Motorsport for the Mercedes ML 63 AMG. This aftermarket aero kit was designed to differentiate this Mercedes ML from the those of a more traditional variety, and it did just that. A new front bumper replaces the stock bulky-looking factory piece with a three section design incorporating LED daytime running lights. On the outsides of the front fascia are what appear to be halogen fog lights, and a new front spoiler. The new wide body kit definitely gives the SUV a more aggressive look and sports car styling.
Lorinser Mercedes-Benz E-Class Coupe
This is the latest work from the automobile tuner Sportservice Lorinser on the Mercedes-Benz E-Class Coupe. Redesigning the car entirely, the new tuning program brings even more uniqueness to the Mercedes E-Class. The front of the car tuning features a new grille, and a stylish new bumper with LED integrated daytime running lights. Completing the transformation is the rear bumper with lip attached, and a diffuser-like add-on. The side skirts feature an air vent while enhancing the dynamic stance of the Mercedes-Benz.
Vath Mercedes E63 AMG
This is the new Vath Performance Mercedes E63 AMG project based off the E-Class from Mercedes-Benz. Both visual and performance improvements were made on the four door sedan. It is powered by the factory engine which has been modified to produce 605 hp and 690 Nm of torque. These numbers let the Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG run a 0-100 km/h time of just 4.1 seconds, with an overall top speed of 340 km/h. Helping the Mercedes reach these figures are forged pistons, sport camshafts, larger intake, new exhaust valves, and improved cylinder heads.
Markuzzi Mercedes C350
Markuzzi has modified this Mercedes C350 in Germany calling it the Mercedes C350 ME 35 GT edition with the wide body kit you see pictured. Germany is by far, home to the majority of car tuning companies located around the world, and have surely turned heads with this project. Based out of Staffelstein, Munchen, Markuzzi has impressed tuning enthusiasts with a custom made widebody kit adding an aggressive look to this Mercedes supercar. Included in the package are the redesigned front and rear bumpers, fenders, side skirts, and rear spoiler.
