Hamann Motorsport Revealed their first upgrade package for the all new Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG.
First, the vehicle now has a new set of forged alloy rims. The wheels, dubbed Design Edition Race “Anodized”, use a cross-spokes design and feature a black matte finish. The rims also have titanium bolts that may be ultra-light but are very stable and corrosion resistant.
Other features of Hamann’s SLS are the lowered suspension which brings the car closer to the ground by 30mm, and a stainless steel exhaust system with two 90mm pipes for an even sportier noise. That is an overkill really, because the SLS has a magnificent soundtrack as standard.
Also available from Hamann is suspension tuning that drops the car by 30 millimeters, and a stainless steel exhaust with 90-millimeter tailpipes. Pricing on these options were not available.

HAMANN refining for Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG
HAMANN-Motorsport is one of the leading names when it comes to exclusive refining of super sports cars. The company from Laupheim in southern Germany demonstrates this once again with the new Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG. HAMANN presents premier tuning components for the Gullwing which enhances its sporty look and gives it that personal touch.
For the recently presented Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG, HAMANN offers forged alloy wheels named DESIGN EDITION RACE "ANODIZED". These wheels, which are produced using the most modern manufacturing processes, bring out the sporty design of the Coupé and ensure the highest load bearing capacity with low weight owing to special aluminium alloys. The look of the DESIGN EDITION RACE "ANODIZED" with its black matt anodized finish and the sophisticated cross-spokes fully meet the sporty expectations that customers have from the SLS AMG. The titanium wheel bolts seem to come directly from the racetrack. These are not only ultra light but are also very stable and corrosion resistant.
The HAMANN-wheel assembly DESIGN EDITION RACE "ANODIZED" are available in the dimensions of 9.0Jx21 (front) and 11.0Jx21 (rear) and are delivered with tyres sizes 245/30 ZR 21 (front axle) and 295/25 ZR21 (rear axle) at a price of 10,500 Euro.
Other sporty highlights are the progressively wound suspensions which lower the centre of gravity of the SLS at the front and rear axle by 30mm, thus improving the handling while going around curves at high speeds.
In addition, HAMANN offers a stainless steel exhaust system with a very sporty sound for the SLS. Two 90mm exhaust pipes on each side exude an impressive rumble from the V-8 engine.
