Just after revealing its tuning packages for both the Mercedes-Benz G63 AMG and Lamborghini Huracan, Italian design house Ares Design has just unveiled its range of modifications for the Mercedes-Benz S-Class. As we’re quickly learning from the company founded by former Lotus chief executive Dany Bahar, they don’t hold back with their tweaks.
With that in mind, Ares will offer its S-Class upgrades in both normal and XXL formats catering to all variations of the luxury German sedan including the range-topping S-Class Maybach Pullman.
At the front, the car has been adorned with an extensively modified fascia. That new front-end includes a custom chrome grille with eye-catching angled vertical slats. Elsewhere, a new bumper has been fitted complete with a bespoke lower splitter and new air intakes.
Moving to the sides and new skirts are immediately visible alongside a custom set of black and silver twin five-spoke wheels. Red brake calipers can also be seen on this display model. The rear is then characterised by a custom diffuser, bumper and exhaust pipes.

While the interior of the standard S-Class is already world-class, Ares Design didn’t let that fact dissuade them from making it even better. To do so, cooling boxes are found throughout as are 17-inch flatscreen TVs, carbon fibre-backed front seats, a privacy partition and electric curtains. Additionally, embroided Ares Design badges are found on the seats.
Alongside all these visual transformations, a number of performance upgrades are available for all S-Class versions.

Kahn Design Flying Huntsman Priced at Less Than Half a G63 6×6

Kahn-Huntsman-1
At the Geneva Motor Show 2015, Kahn Design unveiled the Flying Huntsman. Based around the Land Rover Defender, the car basically merges together the six-wheeled philosophy of the Mercedes-Benz G63 AMG 6×6 with the Defender in an undeniably eye-catching package. Now pricing details for the car have been released.
Customers in the UK will have to hand over at least 199,875 for the potent off-roader. While that is undeniably a lot of money, it is about half of what it cost Mercedes-Benz buyers for the G63 AMG 6×6. Sure, the Flying Huntsman isn’t as outlandish as the 6×6, but it isn’t all that far off and still very capable off road.
The Kahn Design Flying Huntsman 110 WB 6×6 Concept is based upon the Land Rover Defender 110 model. It comes equipped with a 6.2-litre General Motors LS3 V8 engine, driving a six-speed automatic gearbox. Power is expected to be around 430 hp and it will keep the locking differentials and low range gear capability of the standard Defender.

The coachwork is custom and provides a 400 mm extension to the bonnet, a 800mm extension to the rear cabin and a 150 mm wider track. The windscreen has also had its rake increased while the front doors are larger and the roof is fully panoramic. Upgraded suspension and braking components are also found.
