The second of Hamann's five exclusive tuning projects to be revealed in Geneva is based on the Roadster variant of the contemporary icon that is the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG. Upthrust reducing aerodynamic components are both functional and aesthetic in nature, including a front apron that replaces the serial bumper with new LED lights, enlarged air inlets, a checkered flag carbon-fiber hood with air vents, side skirts, and a rear bumper fascia with diffuser and carbon-fiber wing.
A high-performance stainless-steel exhaust system with four enormous end pipes, 90mm in diameter, combined with a sports air filter help to deliver additional power to the already powerful 6.3-liter V8 engine. Aided by a remapped ECU, performance is increased to 628hp from 563hp and torque is measured at 502lb-ft. In race start mode, the two-seater can now accelerate from 0-62mph in 3.6 seconds on the way to a top speed of 199mph. Handling is enhanced via 21-inch Unique Forged Anodized light alloys and a coilover kit equipped with four height-adjustable dampers and four progressively wound springs that lowers the car's center of gravity by up to 30mm.
A redesigned interior boasts delicate leather and ultra-suede, red-colored carbon air inlets, door sill protectors and center console, black anodized aluminum pedals and an ergonomically-redesigned steering wheel.
