More precisely, the vehicle is Mercedes-Benz SL 65 AMG. And the tuning team has geared it with heavily revised 6.0-liter bi-turbo engine that produces a total of 700hp (515kW) and 1000Nm of torque. But this is not all: VÄTH Automobilt mechanics have also included high flow air filter, water/heat exchanger. Sweet.

In fact, there is one particular thing we like about this vehicle. It still showcases its original Mercedes-Benz nature. You can still see the distinctive and brand-exclusive detailing, curves and lines all along with the well-known expression and stance. At the same time the exclusivity and sportiness are enhanced with style, quality and passion. We do like it!
