Mercedes SLS AMG widebody by FAB Design

Fab Design first showed us their Mercedes SLS AMG body styling kit back in October. Now some fans have tipped us off to an example sitting in the Al-ain Class Motors showroom in Dubai. But this SLS kit isn't the same as the first design. This one is a wide body version.

The fenders have been completely resculpted and the sides skirts and quarter panels are one seemless panel that fit over the existing panels. At the rear, the redesigned bumper fascia meets up precisely with the widened quarter panels giving the tailamps a sunken look.

We've received no details on any performance modifications under the hood, but we do know that Fab offers a sport exhaust system which helps increase output from 571 PS (420 kW / 563 hp) to 611 PS (449 kW / 603 hp). Additionally, a sport suspension can be fitted.

There's no denying that Fab designs aren't for everyone, but one thing for certain is that they provoke a strong response, and just for that reason alone they get our nod of approval.
