Parotech, a French tuning company unveiled a modified Touareg painted with matte white and huge wheels at the Geneva Motor Show last year and a couple of days ago they unveiled the Parotech Uranium, a car based on the Mercedes Benz ML Class. Their new project has excellent finishes and exterior modifications aren’t too obvious because they tried to maintain the car’s original look and feeling. They made a new body kit which consists of a new front apron with a unique grille, a new rear bumper with integrated air diffuser and they extended the car’s stock front and rear fenders to make this SUV look more powerful. This Mercedes ML also received new headlights, a new exhaust system, matte paint finish by Basf and probably the most obvious modification was installing huge 24″ black wheels.

BRABUS Mercedes ML63 biturbo
Brabus, the well known Mercedes specialist, has unveiled today at the Geneva Motor Show the new BRABUS Mercedes ML63 biturbo, based on the Mercedes AMG ML 63. Their modified car will set new standards for SUV performance and styling. Powered by a 6.3L V8 engine which delivers 650 HP, this ML could reach a top speed of 310 km/h and it has an incredible acceleration time for it’s size: just 4.2 seconds from 0 to 100. Engineers from Brabus spent almost two years to improve this car’s engine with twin turbochargers and the new system added over 140 HP. The twin turbo system also includes a large intercooler, a dual flow intake manifold and high performance free-flow metal catalysts. Only the high performance B63 Biturbo engine costs 69,800 Euros but it offers more power than any other SUV in the world.
MyCar Mercedes CS500
Saudi tuning companies get a lot of strange requests to create custom cars. While normal customers order a unique body kit and some upgrades under the hood, rich people from Saudi love to electroplate any previous metal on their luxury cars. In the world’s oil capitol there are many luxury vehicles and the tuner MyCar is challenged a lot in order to make an eye catching ride there. Ever heard of the Mercedes CS500? We haven’t heard either but the guys from MyCar went really far to create an all new Mercedes. The car is basically a gold plated Mercedes S550 but it has the front end of a Mercedes CL550 and it received a new name: the CS500.
FAB Design Mercedes McLaren SLR
FAB Design is a tuning company that loves to modify expensive rides and we’ve recently seen a lot of news about them. The Swiss based company tried to make their own version of the popular McLaren SLR and they made a brand new body kit and an insane spoiler for this sports car. This radical SLR was spotted at FAB Design’s headquarters and with extreme extentions and a new front bumper the car looks like an aggressive monster. The new exterior kit makes it look lower and wider than it is already but this modified SLR lost that Formula One impression and that’s not a plus for us. The new spoiler is strange and a lot of people call it a TV antenna that has nothing to do with this SLR’s cool design.

Carlsson and Aigner designed a special body kit that has wider wheel arches which are visually linked by new side skirts. The front wings of this GL500 have illuminated Aiger logos and the door rubbing strips are color coded in black. The car’s front side looks more aggressive with a new bonnet carrying larger power domes.

With this great engine this ride could accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in around 4 seconds and it’s maximum speed is electronically limited to 300 km/h. The german tuners from Vath tried to improve the car’s aerodynamics and they made a special body kit which includes a carbon fiber front spoiler lip and a rear diffuser that will prevent this car from taking off.
Kicherer Mercedes GL42 Black Line
Good news for Mercedes SUV owners: Kicherer released their latest upgrade program for the Mercedes GL Class. They named their project Mercedes GL42 Black line because it’s based on the GL 420 CDI and even though the car’s look wasn’t changed too much, under the hood this is a completely new car. This Mercedes hides a V8 engine under the bonner and after the guys from Kicherer upgraded the engine cooling unit this V8 delivers 360 HP and a maximum torque of 900 Nm. With this power improvement this GL has a top speed higher than 280 km/h. The car’s electronic suspension was adjusted to offer a sportier curve, more stability and improved handling.
Kicherer Mercedes SL Evo II
Kicherer claims that their newest project is not the new Mercedes SL, it’s not the SL 63 AMG, it’s all Kicherer. The Kicherer Mercedes SL Evo II has many custom made parts and even thought it’s based on the old Mercedes SL R230 it looks different. They made a carbon fiber rear wing and front skirt hand made and equipped the car with lightweight cast wheels and other goodies that will please any customer. The tuning package also includes new side air intakes which will cool this car’s engine easier, a lot of carbon fiber elements to improve the aerodynamics and a rear diffuser which will lessen air resistance. The SL Evo II is equipped with Kicherer Downforce System which is an electronically controlled flap that optimizes down force on the rear axle to improve stability, handling and performance.

The maximum torque also rises from 630 Nm at 5,200 rpm to 705 Nm at 5,100 rpm. After this power refinement the car could accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just 4.1 seconds and it’s half a second faster than the AMG model.

VITT Performance Mercedes CL
The Mercedes CL is a powerful and luxurious ride with a lot of high-tech gadgets and safety features. Even though it might seem expensive for most of us, this two-door coupe has a lot of power under the hood and enough room to satisfy even the most severe drivers. We’re used to see a lot of Mercedes cars modified by german tuners but we rarely find a japanese tuning company that modifies any model from Mercedes. VITT Performance is one of those tuners and they created a special tuning kit for a Mercedes CL. The guys from VITT designed a special wide body kit that is made from new front and rear spoilers, side skirts, bigger air spaces and a new rear wing. For the car’s interior the japanese tuner offers a lot of accessories that will increase the driver’s comfort.
