Kicherer have modified the Mercedes-Benz SL 63 to new limits. The company have added a few new parts to get the horsepower up to 560-hp and 670Nm of torque. There is a new aerodynamic kit available and this includes a new front grille and spoiler, a new rear spoiler, a new rear skirt and an integrated diffuser.

There will be suspension upgrades and new LED day time lights along with 30 inch wheels.

Press Release:

Kicherer transforms the Mercedes SL 63 AMG into the SL 63 RS

Whilst the 6.2 litre large V8 engine in the standard modell produces 525 Ps and 630 Nm with fine tuning Kicherer have teased 560 PS and 670 Nm out of the high performance machine.

Aerodynamic kit made of carbon fibre

So the customer can experience this extra performance Kicherer are simultaneously offering a Vmax-upgrade, which disables the electronic brakes at speeds of 250 km/h. To counter this the ABC-suspension has been electronically adapted to meet the
increased demands and equipped with more sporty lines. Kicherer has also improved the brakes. Here a high performance braking system ensures adequate delaying values.

The Kicherer SL 63 RS is of course allowed to display it potential. And for this the tuner has applied an extensive exterior  package of laminated carbon fibre. To visually improve the two-seater a new front spoiler, LED daylight driving lights, headlight blenders, a new front grill, a bumper on the front wings along with special mirror covers and a completely new shaped rear diffuser have been added. This latter also frames a sports exhaust system with four exhaust outlets.

Carbon fibre for the boot lid and interior

Downforce system is the name given by Kicherer to the boot lid with integrated spoiler that is also made of laminated carbon fibre and which should clearly increase the downwards pressure on the rear axle.The transformation of the Mercedes SL 63 AMG
is rounded off with 20 inch large light metal wheels, which at the front have 255/30 tyres and at the rear are fitted with 305/25 tyres.Carbon fibre is also the material from which Kicherer has made the new decorative parts in the interior. The tuner has also
added a new sports steering wheel to the package.

  1. These cars according to me are paper tigers. How they perform on the road, I think I know. A car is built only for a certain horsepower. Its best left that way. You give it a few hundred extra horses, how could it perform like before? It'll not be a fun car to drive. Maybe its only made for a drag strip.

    Ah, the power is not that much more.. Just a baby change.

    The looks seem to matter.

    Although I'd keep my AMG stock.. If I had one :(
