SLR Conversion For W220 Mercedes S-Class
Posted September 1st, 2006 At 7:30 AM CST
While going through our inbox on this first day of September, we received a tip from our good friend Vincent over at Autoblog.nl directing us a tuner by the name of Ad-Design that has attempted to convert a W220 Mercedes S-Class into an SLR-McLaren.
The result, as you see, falls slightly short of capturing the seductive essence of the SLR; it is, however, amusing to see a tuner even attempt to convert an S-Class into a $450,000 supercar.
To see more, keep scrolling to view a couple additional photos of the SLR/S-Class, and if, for some reason unbeknownst to us, you actually want to learn more about the vehicle in question, head over to Ad-Design's website for more details.

Boy howdy... did they ever botch that hood. It looks like they gave it to a first timer and asked them to have fun. Yeesh! I think that if done right, they can make it look fantastic... but that specimen is awful!

Mercedes was not the one that made this car look like crap. It was done by a 3rd party company. Questionable lexus body kits (also from 3rd party companies) exist as well.

Mercedes didn't design the car to look anything like that. That was a third party after market body kit maker. Their are third part companies that make horrible looking body kits for Lexus's as well.
