KICHERER’s product range has the perfect sports package for any Mercedes in store and even satisfies more extravagant needs. Even now, the tuners from Stockach have taken the new SL 63 / 65 AMG under their wings.

In the KICHERER version, the sporty naturally aspirated engine benefits from a performance
increased by about 40 hp and 40 Nm. Consequently, this awesome powertrain disposes of more than 560 hp and comes up with a torque of more than 670 Nm. Thus equipped, the KICHERER SL 63 accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 4.3 seconds and reaches a top speed of 320 km/h.

At the same time, the EVO sports exhaust system eroticises its environment with a deeply saturated and thudding sound – without being so obtrusive as to get on the drivers nerves after a while.

Combined with the electronic chassis optimisation, the ultra-light 20“ RS-1 aluminium wheels guarantee a perfect grip in any driving situation.

A diffuser made of genuine carbon calms the storms that rage at the KICHERER SL’s rear end at high speeds and provides the coupé-convertible with a significantly optimised downforce. Further aerodynamic subtleties are brought about by the front apron coverings which are also made of carbon.

The carbon mirror shells, however, are telling visual expressions of the roadster’s new sportiness.

In August 2008, the second stage will be accomplished: An all-carbon rear lid with an electronically extendable rear spoiler will be available by then. It will provide the “Super” SL with an even better high speed handling.

Even after its facelift Mercedes Tuner Kicherer saw sufficient hidden, sports potential in the Mercedes SL 63 AMG which it then brought to the fore in the Kicherer SL 63 RS.

Kicherer transforms the Mercedes SL 63 AMG into the SL 63 RS.

Whilst the 6.2 litre large V8 engine in the standard modell produces 525 Ps and 630 Nm with fine tuning Kicherer have teased 560 PS and 670 Nm out of the high performance machine.

Aerodynamic kit made of carbon fibre

So the customer can experience this extra performance Kicherer are simultaneously offering a Vmax-upgrade, which disables the electronic brakes at speeds of 250 km/h. To counter this the ABC-suspension has been electronically adapted to meet the increased demands and equipped with more sporty lines. Kicherer has also improved the brakes.

Here a high performance braking system ensures adequate delaying values.

The Kicherer SL 63 RS is of course allowed to display it potential. And for this the tuner has applied an extensive exterior package of laminated carbon fibre.

To visually improve the two-seater a new front spoiler, LED daylight driving lights, headlight blenders, a new front grill, a bumper on the front wings along with special mirror covers and a completely new shaped rear diffuser have been added. This latter also frames a sports exhaust system with four exhaust outlets.

Carbon fibre for the boot lid and interior

Downforce system is the name given by Kicherer to the boot lid with integrated spoiler that is also made of laminated carbon fibre and which should clearly increase the downwards pressure on the rear axle.The transformation of the Mercedes SL 63 AMG is rounded off with 20 inch large light metal wheels, which at the front have 255/30 tyres and at the rear are fitted with 305/25 tyres.Carbon fibre is also the material from which Kicherer has made the new decorative parts in the interior. The tuner has also added a new sports steering wheel to the package.
