  • Famous Parts Have A Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren Roadster

    Famous-Parts-Mercedes-Benz-SLR-McLaren-Roadster-shadowFamous-Parts-Mercedes-Benz-SLR-McLaren-Roadster-mediumSo, the guys from the German-based Famous Parts company took a Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren Roadster and touched it up a bit. And trust us on this, a very tiny bit. It’s strange actually, since they clearly lament the past glory of the SLR which is now being upstaged by cars such as the LaFerrari and the McLaren P1.

    Anyway, what Famous Parts did was to put… ugh… new wheels on the open tot. Four forged ADV.1s were used measuring at 20 inches at the front and 21 inches at the back. Their design – codenamed 5.2 MV2 SL – stands out for its elegant spokes and extremely minimal weight. As for the wheel color, Famous Parts went for the “brushed silver” style.

    Apparently, it’s a work in progress this, because after the photo shoot, a KW coilover kit with three rebound and height settings was installed. There are also plans to put on a tailor-made titanium exhaust system with electronic valve control before the end of the year.

    Would we be asking too much if they throw in some more oomph under the hood as well?

  • The White Phoenix: Famous Parts Audi R8 Wide Body PD GT-850

    Famous-Parts-Audi-R8-THUMBThe German tuning specialists at Famous Parts have been lately cooperating with the aerodynamic masters at Prior-Design. They have joined forces in order to create a stunning project in which the main star is the Audi R8.

    Of course, Prior Design gave its best and delivered all parts of the coveted GT-850 body kit. The work of the technicians of Famous Parts was to properly install the as well as to do the remaining conversion works.

    Thanks to the GT-850 wide body kit the Audi is now six centimeters wider at the front and eight centimeters wider at the rear, when compared to the production version. Instead of wrapping the car, Famous Parts decided to paint the R8 in the limited serial colour “Pearl matt white“.

    To complement even further the masterful appearance of the car, the tuners equipped it with a proper set of shoes. In particular, these are the exclusive three-part Rotiform forged alloy wheels in size of 10Jx20 inches matched with 255/30R20 at the front, and the extremely broad 13.5Jx20 inches matched with 345/25R20 Continental Sport contact tyres at the rear.

    In addition, on the four ends of the R8 chassis frame there has been installed adaptive damper system called “Magnetic Ride“. And in order to match the painting, the outer rims of the Rotiform wheels were wrapped in white.

    More importantly, the driving unit of this vehicle was also enhanced. This happened with the help of the installation of premium Capristo flap sports exhaust system. The latter is made of stainless steel and it also includes remote control and four-fold sound selection. In addition to this, there was also a complex software optimization, as well as installation of company’s own modified air piping system.

  • Famous Parts Adss More Distinctiveness To Mercedes-Benz SL500

    Famous-Parts-Mercedes-Benz-THUMBMercedes-Benz SL 500 is one of the most stylish cars on Earth and it will never go out of trend. In fact, it is the number one model in the Mercedes-Benz scene for many years. Thanks to its powerful V8 engine it is able to generate 435 hp (320 kW).

    In the mean time torque is measured at the staggering 700Nm. This basically means that the SL 500 needs only just 4.6 seconds for the acceleration sprint from 0 to 100 km/h.

    The German tuners at Famous Parts have made this conversion on the famous SL500 particularly well. They gave the roadster a complete Prior Design wide body car body kit consisting of front and tail bumper, side sills, a new motor cowl, front mudguards and rear side wall widening.

    Furthermore, the kit is complemented and rounded off by a facelift for the outer mirrors, new headlights and a rear spoiler. An in order to get in resonance with the wintter season, Famous Parts applied “white pearl matte metallic” film to the car body.

    In addition, the serial ABC-chassis is lowered by an electronic module that also permits manual height adjustment. Type III FPX rims turn in the wheel box: 8.5×20 inch with 255/30R20 at the front and 11×20 inch with 295/25R20 Continental Sport Contact tyres at the rear.

    An upgrade has also been applied to the exhaust system. Here we are speaking about the rear section of big brother SL63 AMG that has been attached to the original 500 tubes. As a final touch, Famous Parts painted some car body parts in matte-black and applied a dark film coat on the rear window of the panorama roof to contrast with the white exterior color.
