Baesweiler tuning specialist Wheelsandmore has extended its range of options for the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG, taking proceedings up a notch or two.

The company has built on its Stage II program, which relies on remapped ECU software and a stainless steel sports exhaust system with sports catalysts and remotely-operated valve flaps to raise the AMG 6.2-Litre V8’s output from 420 kW (571 hp) and 650 Nm of torque to 467 kW (635 hp) and 710 Nm.

Stage III sees the addition of a supercharger kit, taking things to another, with the SLS now developing 525 kW (704 hp) and 855 Nm, allowing a 0-100 km/h time of just 3.6 seconds and an electronically limited top speed of 330 km/h (205 mph). Nice.

Chassis upgrades come in the form of an ultralight coilover suspension kit which features adjustable compression and rebound and utilizes the LCS (level-control-system) hydraulic lift-up system providing a 40 mm lift at the touch of a button, while those three-piece matte black 6Sporz² wheels, sized 9.5 and 11.5 x 21-inches, are wrapped in 245/30 and 305/25 tyres rubber.
