When it comes to making an impression, or leaving an impression, a widebody kit is also going to command a decent amount of attention. As is the case with the Renown Auto Style Mercedes-Benz SL 65 AMG kit which has just surfaced.
Based on the fire-breathing previous generation ‘R230’ SL 65 AMG, the complete kit turns the beast into a serious stealth machine. The package includes new panels made from woven cloth FRP with an epoxy resin for ultimate lightness in weight and maximum strength.
Painted in black, the kit gives the big Merc a very fat stance, almost like the AMG Black Series version. It features heavily bolstered wheel arches, an integrated rear diffuser, chunky side skirts, and a low and sharp new front spoiler.
Sitting inside the guards are a set of perfectly fitting deep-dish 20-inch front and 21-inch rear concave alloy wheels by Renown. These are painted in a matt black coat to match the sinister and stealthy body theme.
Under the bonnet, not to be left to its own devices, the 6.0-litre twin-turbo V12 is boosted with an engine computer retune thanks to Raging Bull Performance. It now has a massive overall power output rating of 515kW, up from the factory 463kW.
This is one of those cars that you wouldn’t want to meet in a dark alley. It looks savage from every angle.
