MANSORY McLaren SLR 'Renovatio'

MANSORY McLaren SLR 'Renovatio'


The MANSORY McLaren SLR 'Renovatio' is based on the Mercedes McLaren supercar and features a host of performance and customisation upgrades from the high end tuner Mansory.

Let's start off with the engine: the supercharged 5.5-litre V8 engine receives an upgraded supercharger and intercooler to boost power up to 515 kW (up from 460 kW) which is good for a 0-100 km/h sprint time in the low 3-second bracket.

Exterior-wise, a custom bodykit featuring copious amounts of lightweight and expensive carbon fibre, unique paint jobs, and ultra lightweight wheels makes the 'standard' SLR look very pedestrian in comparison.

The interior gets a similar makeover with carbon fibre inserts, plush leather and alcantara on the seats, dash and steering wheel although the choice and colour for the cloth used on the seats and gear stick boot is questionable.

As a whole, it's hard to fault the job Mansory have done to make the rare SLR even more exclusive than it already is.

Kleemann D-SCK Concept

Kleemann D-SCK Concept


Specialist Mercedes-Benz tuners Kleemann has released pictures of the D-SCK concept car based on the Kleemann GTK which in itself it based on the baby Mercedes roadster SLK-class.

Kleeman D-SCK Concept


Christian Brandt, the designer from the Danish tuner and brainchild behind the GTK, has released images of the D-SCK Concept which features sleek styling and a mid-engine layout. In many ways, the styling of the D-SCK concept appears to be a cross between a Porsche 911 (996) and Ferrari F360 - sure, it looks exotic but something just doesn't seem right.

Given Kleemann's close connection with Mercedes, a large V8 engine - possibly supercharged - would be the ideal choice to power this mid-engine rocket, however, there remains doubt whether this concept would ever make it into production.

Mercedes McLaren SLR 722 Edition

July 12th 2006 13:00
The Mercedes-Benz SLR, a car I have previously included in my regular exotic cars posts is one of my favourite because it looks as good as it goes.

Well, the SLR just got even hotter with a race-bred version dubbed the "722 Edition". The SLR "722 Edition" pays homage to the unforgettable victory won by the British racing legend Stirling Moss and his co-driver Denis Jenkinson in a Mercedes-Benz 300 SLR with the starting number 722 (indicating a start time of 7.22 a.m.) at the Mille Miglia in 1955.
