Press Release) Mercedes SL500 R231 tuning premiere by
Wheelsandmore
Just in time for the beginning of northern hemisphere spring season
and before the first highly anticipated new Mercedes Benz SL R231
roadsters were delivered, Wheelsandmore presents their refined
version of the SL500 and sets the first exclamation point into the
direction of the tuning community.
The luxury tuner wraps the fresh new silhouette completely in an
aluminum-silver-gray high-tech film which provides more optical
exclusivity to the new SL roadster.
In their specialty, the production of tailor-made, multi-part forged
rims, the fine tuner installed the maximum possible wheel sizes of
the type 6Sporz ē in the dimensions 9,5 x20" with 245/30/20 at the
front and at the rear 11,0 x20“ with 295/25 Continental Sport
Contact 5P tires. Although the wheels could be configured in nearly
unlimited color and surface finish combinations, Wheelsandmore
adapted them to the overall picture, with matt black wheel center,
combined with robust and easy-care stainless steel outer rims.
The suspension lowering is provided by the fully adjustable
suspension module called LowMaXX, which shuts down to at a speed of
70 km / h to preserve the comfort and safety again. As the module is
offered with a plug-and-play adapter solution, the installation is
easily done within a few minutes.
With the new M278 engine and 435 hp standard performance, Mercedes
Benz delivers the best arguments for already interested inclined to
purchase. Wheelsandmore wouldnīt be a tuner if that performance
couldnīt be increased even further. Optimizing the characteristics
of the electronic control unit improves the performance of the R231
for additional 70hp and 100nm of torque up to 505hp and 800nm of
torque in total.
As appropriate
exhaustsystems and air filter components are currently under
developement, there certainly will be higher upgrades to expect.
