Mercedes SLS AMG by Inden Design


Inden Design came up with their own upgrade package for the Mercedes SLS AMG.
It’s now obvious that tuning specialists have seriously outdone themselves when dealing with the SLS versions, but all these can particularly affect the balance that Mercedes imprinted to the car. Thus, the specialists at Inden have re-worked it in a more modest and smooth way.



They have added 51 HP to the stock 563 HP (and 650 Nm of torque) engine’s power, for a current output of 614 HP, thanks to the remapped ECU system and new sports exhaust with catalytic converters and manifolds. As visual upgrades, they’ve changed the stock wheels with new 10.5×20 ones, covered in 265/30-20 tires at the front and 295/30-20 at the rear.
