Post Mansory Cormeum based on Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG

This is the Mansory Cormeum based on the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG.

Designed and named by the tuner's owner and head designer Kourosh Mansory, the SLS gets wrapped in a complete carbon shell for a 90 kg weight-saving diet and a substantially revised look.

The body kit includes a new lightweight roof and wing doors, front skirt with large air inlets, widening fenders that extend the SLS by 66 mm at the front axle and 84 mm at the rear axle, as well as side skirts that make the sport coupe appear lower. At the back is a rear spoiler with carbon flaps and a race diffuser for additional downforce.

Engine tuning consists of increasing output to 660 PS (485 kW / 651 bhp) while a performance upgrade to 800 PS (588 kW / 789 bhp) is also in the works.

For the wheels are 9 x 20 inch rims at the front with 265/30R20 Michelin tires and 11 x 21 inchers at the back wrapped in 295/25R20 Michelins.

New springs and dampers lower the SLS AMG by 20 mm too.

On the inside Mansory does its luxuriating thing with a hand fitted soft leather finish with decorative stitching, carbon trim, of course, a newly designed center console and other touches such as the aluminum pedals and sport steering wheel with a full-sized airbag.

The name, Cormeum, comes from an operatic aria called Vide Cor meum composed by Patrick Cassidy and based on a sonnet in Dante's "La Vita Nuova".

I think I like about 75% of this car. Toned down a little, it would really be sinister looking.

i like most of it, except the vents and gaping air dams.... which leaves just 30% of the car to my liking.

looks like they borrowed the nose from the benz mclaren and headlights from a ferrari.

I kinda like it simply b/c the stock is just soooooo damn ugly and boring.
The all-exposed CF is a little overkill. Take off the 747 wing and it might look a little more presentable

It was ugly the first time Seize. Reposting pics of it doesn't change that.
