Custom Prior Design Mercedes S-Class W221

OK, what we have here is a car that will make you look cool, classy, and gangsta, and best of all it won’t cost you an arm and a leg. It’s a previous generation (W221) Prior Design Mercedes S-Class customized and tuned with a selection of fine aftermarket parts. And I put it to you, it’s a lot more awesome than a brand-new W222 model.

The biggest highlight of this Prior Design Mercedes S-Class is, well, that – the PD kit. The wide body kit complete with the “slamming” treatment that drops the car right to the ground on a set of massive wheels has given the S-Class a very naughty look. And naughty is what we like. Naughty is fun.

The ingredients of Prior Design Mercedes S-Class body kit includes a set of flared wheel arches, custom bumpers on the front and rear featuring spoiler lip and diffuser insert, side skirts, and a boot lid spoiler. What we love about this car is that it’s wrapped in metallic black rather than some ridiculous color as is often the case in the wrapping scene. So kudos to Folienwerk-NRW for this work.

Other mods include lowered suspension, a set of fancy G&B Design 21-inch wheels, and a stainless steel sport exhaust system as well as some light touches such as window tint and smoked lights.

Hamann Mercedes G63 Spyridon

Hamann released some new photos of the latest Mercedes G63 Spyridon they have prepared, and it’s a black example with a full kit that looks absolutely menacing. Still one of the sickest G-Wagen kits out there, Hamann Spyridon is a fine choice if you are bored with the looks of your stock G63.

The styling kit on Hamann Mercedes G63 Spyridon is a massive wide body affair, but despite that it manages to remain cool and dignified. That’s doubly true in the case of this blacked-out example here that is also equipped with multi-spoke matte black wheels and tinted windows. This car serves as a good guide for anyone who want to modify the G-Class and shows them what works on this SUV.

The ingredients of Hamann Mercedes G63 Spyridon kit include revised front and rear bumpers with a chunkier look, larger grilles, and add-on aero parts, a new Hamann grille and bonnet, fender extensions front and rear, running boards with integrated side tailpipes, and a roof spoiler.

The six tailpipes of Spyridon are connected to a stainless steel custom exhaust system with sport cats and downpipes which is part of a performance upgrade package that also includes a plug-in power module. Among the other notable features of this car there is the custom leather and Alcantara interior, sport pedals, and bespoke floor mats.

Brabus Mercedes G63 700 In the Flesh

Due to their rarity and astronomical price, Brabus cars are not common sights out int he wild. Press photos are often the only place we get to see these magnificent machines. But here we have a Brabus Mercedes G63 700 photographed under the sun, and we have to say it looks amazing.

Not many cars can bear close scrutiny in the flesh. At the very least they won’t look as charming as they did in the carefully shot, heavily edited press shots. But Brabus Mercedes G63 700 is one of those rare cars that, if anything, look better up close. We are particularly fond of that awesome front grille with the silver mesh and big Brabus logo. It looks properly manly, this car.

The SUV features custom bumpers with silver accents and aero parts, that cool grille, custom skirts and running boards, fender flares, side vents, rear diffuser insert, and roof spoiler. It also comes with a set of Monoblock F wheels finished, in this case, in matte grey. Being a 700 means this Brabus G63 packs a heavily modded V8 engine rated at 700 horsepower. You can also order the 850 package if 700 is not enough.

RENNtech Mercedes GLE 63 AMG Gets 679 hp

American-based German tuner RENNtech has come up with a power upgrade package for the new Mercedes-AMG GLE 63, the replacement for the old ML-Class. Based on the S version, RENNtech Mercedes GLE 63 AMG pumps out a remarkable 679 horsepower and 753 lb-ft of torque.

The 2016 GLE 63 S is powered by AMG’s 5.5-litre twin-turbo V8 engine which RENNtech is intimately familiar with. Still, extracting near as makes no difference an extra hundred horsepower out of it required a great deal of technical know-how and a few strategic changes in the right places. The changes resulting in RENNtech Mercedes GLE 63 AMG packing considerably more power than the standard model (585 hp) include an ECU Upgrade and custom exhaust system featuring downpipes and 200 cell catalytic converter.

RENNtech has not released the performance figures for the souped-up GLE 63, but the standard car is capable of accelerating from 0 to 100 km/h in 4.2 seconds which is frankly astonishing for a full-size family SUV. You can expect this version to accomplish that task in four-seconds flat. Later on, as is RENNtech’s custom, they will come up with more upgrades for this model including a few nicely designed body components, new sets of wheels, and upgraded suspension that would improve both the dynamics of the car and its stance.

Prior Design Mercedes CLS in Matte Charcoal

One of the latest cars to be tricked-out and spiced-up by the folks at Folienwerk-NRW is a Prior Design Mercedes CLS. The four-door coupe is fully kitted-out with the tuner’s Black Series treatment and then equipped by NRW with a complete wrap as well as new rims and exhaust system.

What emerges as the result is one super unique car that can be called sporty, luxurious, and artsy all at the same time. Of course, such a thing is not going to appeal to everybody, but as far as tuning expertise is concerned, it’s a job well done. 

The body kit on Prior Design Mercedes CLS Black Series consists of a boot lid wing, revised bumpers on the front and rear featuring larger air intakes and a more aggressive design, as well as aero parts including front spoiler lip and rear diffuser. But the meat of the package is the buffed-up fenders complete with the new side sills which give the CLS a much more impressive girth.

The wrap applied to this car by NRW is an interesting matte charcoal metallic complemented with gloss black as well as red accents. For the rims – 20 inch FW Design – they decided to go with a matte gold powder coating. This Prior Design Mercedes CLS 500 also gets adjusted suspension and stainless steel sport exhaust system.

Brabus Mercedes S63 Coupe 850 “Desert Gold”

Brabus Middle East has been getting some pretty sweet cars from the German headquarters lately, including a gold-themed S63 saloon, a tricked-out G500 4×4, and now this, Brabus Mercedes S63 Coupe 850. This car too features a gold treatment and is called “Desert Gold” on account of its looks and where it’s going to end up residing.

The shimmering golden mirage that is the paint job on this car aside, Brabus Mercedes S63 Coupe 850 also boasts the world’s most thorough upgrade package a car like this can have. There’s a carbon fiber body kit, new suspension, high-end wheels, revamped interior, and yes, a huge and hugely powerful engine.

On the styling front the S63 Coupe gets in this treatment a carbon front spoiler complete with lip accents and grille surrounds, side skirts, carbon boot lid spoiler and rear diffuser and integrated tailpipes. There is also monoblock wheels in gloss black and gold brake calipers and accents all over. If you find the gold treatment too much on the outside, you’re going be overwhelmed by the interior. It looks like a treasure chest out of a Sinbad story!

We are more interested in the engine that powers Brabus Mercedes S63 Coupe 850. It starts like as a 585-hp 5.5 liter bi-turbo V8 engine, but when Brabus technicians are through with it, it goes up in size, noise and power, churning out 850 horsepower and 1,200 Nm of torque.
