German Car Tuner, MR Car Design, took a short trip back in time and revisited the popular 2005 Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG. The MR Car Design SL-Class, with updates to the exterior, interior and engine was given the name “Shining Star”.
Updates to the exterior of the 2005 SL include a new Mercedes SLR inspired carbon hood from fellow German Tuner, Kicherer. An updated rear bumper, taken from the facelifted AMG model, with black fender lights and mid-mounted rear brake lights also in black round out the exterior updates.
Powering the MR Car Design’s SL65 AMG is a slightly tweaked ECU, adding 80 hp and 110 Nm of torque to the standard output of the AMG’s 6.0 liter twin-turbo V12 output All achieved through the use of a new air intake, a custom sports exhaust and an ECU remap.
The electronic speed limiter that stopped your enjoyment at a mere 155 mph (250 km/h) has been removed and a lowered suspension has been installed that brings the car 30 mm closer to the road.
The Tuned SL65 AMG rides on 20-inch forged rims by Carlsson and offers custom-made Black Series dial lenses.
