The Mercedes 280SL Roadster – A Meticulous Choice

Regarded as a work of art from yesteryears, the Mercedes 280SL roadster perfectly fits Moment Motor Company`s vision for vehicle conversions. Its size lends itself well to accommodating an optimal battery capacity while seamlessly blending luxury with the performance of a drivetrain.

The Design Journey – From 3D Modeling to Electrifying Transformations

At Moment Motor Company every design undertaken is approached with care and precision. The engineers embark on an analysis of each 280SL model before employing cutting edge CAD imaging technology, in order to create 3D models for their conversion projects. These digital blueprints serve as guides for their EV conversion plans that aim to preserve the weight balance and handling characteristics found in the vehicle.

Speaking of electrifying, Marc Davis, CEO of the company stated: “Moment Motor Company specializes in fully engineered complete solutions that account for the incredible complexities that integrating a modern EV powertrain entails. Our builds reverently retain the integrity and design of the original vehicle while safely applying the fun, smile-inducing exhilaration of EV power.”

Power and Performance – What’s Under the Hood

When it comes to the 280SL, Moment Motor Company doesn’t compromise on power. The experts equipped this conversion with a 62 kWh battery pack that offers a range of 175 miles. The roadster is powered by a three-phase magnet motor delivering 300 horsepower (224 kW/304 PS) and 370 lb ft (502 Nm) of torque. With integrated control systems, for brakes, steering, heating and air conditioning, the 280SL has been transformed into a marvel while still retaining its charm.

The Price of Exclusivity – A Hefty Tag

As it is often the case with ellectrified offerings, a Mercedes 280SL with Moment Motor Company comes at a hefty price. The tuning firm collaborated with Unique Cars of Palm Beach to source perfectly restored 280SLs and offer cars for $250,000. Alternatively, if you already own this beauty, Moment Motor Company can perform the conversion for $135,000.

Everrati`s Pagoda – Redefining Electric Elegance

While Moment Motor Company breathes life into the 280SL model, another famous tuner Everrati, takes on a venture with its own twist on another classic – the SL “Pagoda.”

A Masterpiece in Motion – The Reversible Transformation

Everrati`s approach echoes its commitment to preserving both value and originality throughout their work. The SL “Pagoda” has been transformed in a way saying goodbye to its six-cylinder engine and embracing an electric powertrain developed by the company itself.

Speaking of power, there are two versions. The basic one delivers 174 horsepower (129 kW/176 PS) and 240 Nm (177 lb ft) of torque, while the top spec model unleashes 300 horsepower (224 kW/304 PS) and 300 Nm (221 lb ft) of torque. Everrati claims that it can reach the speed as the stock petrol powered SL, which is 124 mph (200 km/h), with an improved acceleration from 0 60 mph (97 km/h) in under 7 seconds.

Equipped with a battery pack of 68 kWh, the electric SL offers a range that exceeds 200 miles (322 km) before needing to recharge. Everrati ensures that the weight distribution remains faithful to the design safeguarding its driving dynamics without any compromise. The starting cost for EV converted Pagoda is around £295,000 ($358,053).

Final Thoughts

Both Moment Motor Company and Everrati redefine cars they bring together tradition and innovation. The Mercedes 280SL and the SL “Pagoda” have been electrified to preserve their timeless elegance while transforming them into marvels. While the price may seem high each conversion embodies exclusivity and innovation making it an investment, in a future where classic cars seamlessly embrace power without losing their essence.

Mercedes AMG G-Class G63 4×4 Squared by Mansory, Great Power, Unique Styling Features https://www.carztuning.com/2023/11/mercedes-amg-g-class-g63-4x4-squared-mansory/ https://www.carztuning.com/2023/11/mercedes-amg-g-class-g63-4x4-squared-mansory/#respond Sun, 19 Nov 2023 19:01:07 +0000 https://www.carztuning.com/?p=14460 Mansory, a brand known for its groundbreaking design and performance, has once again taken the automotive world by storm, with its latest creation; the exclusive G63 AMG 4×4 Squared. This exceptional interpretation of the Mercedes G Class not only exudes power and style but also sets benchmarks for luxury SUVs.

Introducing the Powerhouse

The Mansory G63 4×4 Squared is more than an SUV; it’s a symbol of strength and exclusivity. The moment you set your eyes upon it, you’re immediately captivated by its power and distinctive aesthetics.

Unleashing Power

Beneath the hood of this limited-edition, lies a tuned 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 engine that has been enhanced to deliver a staggering 625kW (844 hp) and mind-blowing 1000nm of torque. This transformation elevates the G63 4×4 Squared from impressive to awe-inspiring. Yet, it`s not only about power; it’s also about providing an exhilarating and precise driving experience.

Mercedes AMG G Class G63 4×4 Squared by Mansory 12

With its blend of power and agility, the G63 4×4 Squared can accelerate from 0 to 100km/h (0 62 mph) in 4.5 seconds, thus showcasing Mansory’s commitment to automotive excellence. Although it possesses speed capabilities, the top speed remains restricted at 210km/h (130 mph) ensuring a focus on controlled performance.

An Eye-Catching Design

The way Mansory has transformed the AMG G63 4×4 Squared goes beyond the engine. It’s a masterpiece that defies conventions and embraces uniqueness.

Mansory has reimagined the exterior by replacing most of the Mercedes AMG bodywork with carbon fibre aerodynamic add-ons. These additions include an apron, fenders and an impressive hood, with large air intakes. Not do these carbon fibre elements enhance the aesthetics of the vehicle,  but also contribute to improved performance by reducing weight.

At the front, you’ll find four LED headlights that not only offer visibility but also give the G63 4×4 Squared its distinctive character. The design continues to incorporate more carbon fibre touches such as a spoiler, mirror caps and extra air intakes.

Conquering Off-Road Terrain

To match its imposing appearance, Mansory equips the G63 4×4 Squared with forged 22-inch wheels. These wheels are wrapped in off-road tires measuring 325/55, ensuring that this vehicle is well-prepared for any off-road adventures. Mansory’s dedication to delivering a driving experience extends further by optimizing off-road capabilities, making sure that the G63 4×4 Squared can tackle any terrain it encounters.

Experience Personalized Luxury

When you step into the cabin, you’ll immediately notice Mansory’s attention to detail. The interior is a haven where personalization takes the stage. Mansory provides buyers with the freedom to customize every aspect, from the colours and patterns of the leather seats to the choice of aluminium and carbon fibre elements, ensuring that their G63 4×4 Squared is truly unique.

The showcased vehicle features elegantly quilted white and blue leather seats with contrasting accents adorning the dashboard and centre console. It’s a display that perfectly harmonizes luxury and performance.

For a driving experience at night, numerous LEDs are incorporated into the headline, creating an ambience of what you’d find in a Rolls-Royce.

Exclusivity and Limited Availability

The Mansory G63 4×4 Squared is not your mass-produced vehicle. Only ten of these machines will be produced. If you desire a vehicle that surpasses conventions combining power with captivating design and offering unparalleled personalization options, then time is of the essence.

Mansory again pushes the boundaries of luxury and performance with their G63 4×4 Squared. A true testament to their unwavering dedication, to excellence.

It’s an impressive vehicle providing a driving experience that only a privileged few can enjoy as proud owners of this exclusive work of art. Feel free to check out the amazing photo gallery with Mansory`s latest creation! It will surely give you some inspiration if you ever want to create such a high-class tuning package on your beloved AMG model!

Mercedes G500 4×4 Sits on Forgiato Wheels, Looks Insane and Aggressive https://www.carztuning.com/2017/11/mercedes-g500-4x4-sits-forgiato-wheels-looks-insane-aggressive/ https://www.carztuning.com/2017/11/mercedes-g500-4x4-sits-forgiato-wheels-looks-insane-aggressive/#respond Tue, 28 Nov 2017 19:45:49 +0000 http://www.carztuning.com/?p=13119 Ever since it official launch on the market in 2016, Los Angeles based tuning company Forgiato Designs have been custom-building luxury wheels for different performance cars and not only. In the past, we have seen plenty of exquisite rides, SUVs or off-roaders wearing the tuner`s massive and high-performance wheels.

The tuner`s latest standout project had to be on a Mercedes SUV, particularly on a massive one like the G500 with a 4×4 configuration. Besides the new wheels, this hot ride has also received some mechanical enhancements.

The wheels involved refer to Forgiato Origini-T wheels with massive tires that keep the SUV on the road and provide increase stability and stance. The wheels also complement the car`s exquisite Copenhagen Silver paintjob.

Besides the new set of wheels which also enhance the G500`s off-road capabilities, the Mercedes G500 4×4 by Forgiato Wheels tuner has also received tuned suspension and porta axles borrowed from the bigger sibling and much more potent G63 6×6.

Inside, the cabin is also tweaked with seat bolsters and head restrains, while the dashboard, center console and armrests in the doors are dressed in black designo leather with white contrast top-stitching. The interior`s luxury feel is also increased by DINAMICA microfiber on the seat surfaces and door panels. The same material can also be found on the roof liner and body pillars.

This Copenhagen Silver Mercedes G500 4×4 by Forgiato has all it takes to be a real head-turner, both at the exterior as well as inside the cabin. However, there have not been any modifications announced in the engine department.

This means that our model in question is still packing the stock yet high-performance 4.0-liter biturbo engine with a good 420 horsepower.

All in one, we are dealing here with an extremely luxurious interior and crazy wheels at the exterior. The mix between tuned-up tweaks and cozy feel inside makes this project an attractive aftermarket ride. Enjoy the media gallery with the G500 4×4 by Forgiato!

Mercedes S63 AMG with Big Bang Treatment by Wheelsandmore https://www.carztuning.com/2016/11/mercedes-s63-amg-big-bang-treatment-wheelsandmore/ https://www.carztuning.com/2016/11/mercedes-s63-amg-big-bang-treatment-wheelsandmore/#respond Wed, 02 Nov 2016 09:56:57 +0000 http://www.carztuning.com/?p=10158 As much as I dislike most of Mercedes-Benz`s models, there are a few of them that really catches my attention, and those are wearing the AMG`s signature.

Every Merc that gets out the AMG`s special production line has to be radical, aggressive, massive and extremely fast, and if that doesn’t suit your needs, then you always have a choice: an aftermarket shop that can comply with your own needs.

In this case, the technicians from Wheelsandmore tuner are back into the spotlight with another “Big Bang” treatment carried out on a Mercedes C63 AMG, meaning lots of power and aggressive engine growl.

At the exterior, this German lad seen in the media gallery below didn’t get a special makeover, the tuner adding only a set of their special wheels. We are looking here at a set of matte black 6Sporz wheels, measuring 10×22 and 11×22 front and rear and wrapping the 265/30/22 and 305/25/22 Continental Sport Contact 6 tires.

Besides the new rims that improve the car`s overall aggressive look and stance, the Wheelsandmore Mercedes S63 AMG has also received the tuner`s special power package, making it one of the most powerful S63 AMG ever cruising the streets.

The power package comes with some hefty mods, such as custom bearings, in-house built valve-flap exhaust system, optimized air filters and ECU remapping, and downpipes with sport catalysts, all raising the car`s power to 792 horsepower and whopping 1,150 Nm of torque. With these figures in mind, this modded S63 AMG surely runs like hell from 0 to 100 km/h. Unfortunately, the tuner has not released any details on that matter.

Mansory Gronos Mercedes G500 4×4 Looks All-mighty and Powerfull https://www.carztuning.com/2016/08/mansory-gronos-mercedes-g500-4x4-looks-mighty-powerfull/ https://www.carztuning.com/2016/08/mansory-gronos-mercedes-g500-4x4-looks-mighty-powerfull/#respond Sat, 20 Aug 2016 07:21:29 +0000 http://www.carztuning.com/?p=8824 The Mercedes G500 4×4 is that absolete car that has received hundreds of customizations from different tuners worldwide, but just a handful of them managed to carry out insane and mind-blowing projects.

We have lately seen the model wearing a six-wheel package, all packed with an extremely wide aero kit, and now, it was Mansory`s turn to add some important make-overs and a hefty dosage of power under the hood.

As we can depict from the pictures, the G500 4×4 is now looking fresh with the bespoke styling package, complemented by the white exterior wrap. The package comes handy with a lot of carbon fiber body parts.

This particular package features carbon fiber front apron with custom headlights and grills, adding carbon fender flares, chin spoiler, roof spoiler and updated taillights. As for the wheels, the Mansory Gronos 4×4 still packs the stock ones, which make it extremely hot.

The series of upgrades continue inside the cabin, with the interior being all wrapped in pink and highlighted by exquisite and high-end materials and sports trims.

Underneath, the Mansory Gronos Mercedes G500 4×4 has also received a power boost, the model coming with sport exhaust system and an ECU remapping, which raises the car`s power by up to 63 horsepower and 100 Nm of torque.

There are no details concerning the new performance figures, but perhaps the Arabian customer is not that much into powering, being more concerned on the car`s look and extremely aggressive attitude. The final work can be seen in the phoot gallery released by Mansory tuner.

Mercedes AMG GT by Mansory Is Pretty Impressive with the Huge Wing https://www.carztuning.com/2016/06/mercedes-amg-gt-mansory-pretty-impressive-huge-wing/ https://www.carztuning.com/2016/06/mercedes-amg-gt-mansory-pretty-impressive-huge-wing/#respond Tue, 14 Jun 2016 20:33:49 +0000 http://www.carztuning.com/?p=7970 Mansory is back into the spotlights with another daring tuning project carried out on the Mercedes AMG GT seen in the photo gallery below. The project involves the fitting of a much more aggressive body style and a standout rear wing.

We might consider this model a very special one as it was first unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show, the aftermarket specialists now adding some other cool stuff like the enormous rear wing.

As we can depict from the pictures, the Mansory Mercedes AMG GT is standing out from the crowd with a rear wing dressed up in a maroon red carbon fiber finish, which complements the entire body kit. The body also wraps a matte-finish black carbon that highlights the massive wing and wheels.

The kit comes with an updated rear diffuser and front spoiler lip perfectly matching the bumper inserts, along with flared arches, vented hood, extended sills, as well as the one-off 21-inch “7spoke” Mansory wheels.

Under the hood, the Mercedes AMG GT by Mansory comes with a power kit which raises the car`s power from 510 horsepower to a whopping 730 horsepower, all squeezed out from the same 4.0-liter AMG V8 engine. This means that the car is now capable of sprinting from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.4 seconds, at a topping of 330 km/h.

Mercedes AMG GT by RevoZport https://www.carztuning.com/2016/04/mercedes-amg-gt-revozport/ https://www.carztuning.com/2016/04/mercedes-amg-gt-revozport/#respond Thu, 21 Apr 2016 11:09:17 +0000 http://www.carztuning.com/?p=7871 RevoZport tuner has recently presented their work on an exotic Ferrari LaFerrari, the supercar being fitted with the special R-Zentric aero kit, but there`s no time to waste, as the tuner has also released some photos with another project carried out on the Mercedes AMG GT.

The Mercedes AMG GT is an exceptional and aggressive model in the stock version, but in the hands of professionals over RevoZport, the sports car is a real killer.

Their special kit mainly consists of carbon fiber components on the new front splitter which is now wider than the stock one, along with custom and standout front grille inserts, aero-optimized vented sport bonnet, aero flaps beneath the headlights, carbo side skirts, slightly revised rear diffuser and a proper boot lid spoiler.

All new carbon fiber components add a fresh look the overall body styling, the model now appearing more appealing to the common eye.

Under the hood, the Mercedes AMG GT by RevoZport is also said to come with a proper performance kit, but so far, the tuner has not released any details, which makes us think that the project is still under works. In case we are right, we might be seeing an impressive power increase, way more than the stock 510 horsepower. Stay tuned and keep reading our stories!

Mercedes SLS Black Series with Power Kit by RENNtech https://www.carztuning.com/2016/04/mercedes-sls-black-series-power-kit-renntech/ https://www.carztuning.com/2016/04/mercedes-sls-black-series-power-kit-renntech/#respond Thu, 21 Apr 2016 11:06:24 +0000 http://www.carztuning.com/?p=7850 It`s quite amazing how fast the aftermarket industry is currently developing, with more and more tuners turning their heads on the most exquisite cars the world has given to us.

I am talking here about tuners like Hamann, G-Power, EAS, DS Automobile, RENNtech and many more, well-known and famous for their exceptional tuning projects concerning the exterior as well as powertrains under the hood.
Moreover, these tuners have also become specialized in different types of car, a fact that make their work even more standout and appreciated.

One of such example is the Boston-based RENNtech tuner, recently taking this Mercedes SLS Black Series to their shop and adding an impressive performance kit, along with some slight body updates and new set of wheels, which make it a real blast.

The Mercedes SLS Black Series is an extremely powerful model from the factory, the massive 6.2-liter V8 engine churning out an impressive power. But thanks to the remapped ECU and stainless long tube headers, the sports car is able to develop a whopping 667 horsepower and 505 lb-ft of torque.

The tuner has not received any performance figures, but we suspect just 3.5 seconds from 0 to 100 km/h. But perhaps the performance is not that important right now, instead you can feast your eyes over the nice photo gallery released by the tuner below!

Mercedes S63 AMG Coupe by Mansory https://www.carztuning.com/2015/10/mercedes-s63-amg-coupe-mansory/ https://www.carztuning.com/2015/10/mercedes-s63-amg-coupe-mansory/#respond Tue, 13 Oct 2015 14:48:19 +0000 http://www.carztuning.com/?p=5545 The new Mercedes S63 AMG Coupe is already a beast but Mansory decided to take it to a whole new level.

To begin with, we tell you that the already impressive 5.5-liter V8 under the hood got a major boost from 585 hp to 720 hp. However, than’s not all as there are multiple power stages. If 720 horsepower are not enough for you, there are the 800, 900 and 1000 hp versions.

To match this immense power, Mansory opted for a complete body kit with new carbon fiber bumpers, a revised hood with vents, new side skirts and a big rear wing.

The rear diffuser now incorporates a quad-pipe exhaust system while big 22-inch multi-spoke alloy wheels with Vredestein ULTRAC SESSANTA wheels measuring 255/30/ZR22 (front) and 295/25/ZR22 (rear) tires complete the look.

Inside, customers will be greeted by a plethora of changes including aluminum pedals, leather upholstery, sprots seats made of carbon fiber, special floor mats and illuminated door sills. Pricing and availability details are currently not available. Until we get full details on the new Mercedes S63 AMG Coupe by Mansory, be sure to check the official images with the package.

Mercedes C63 S by Wimmer RST https://www.carztuning.com/2015/09/mercedes-c63-s-wimmer-rst/ https://www.carztuning.com/2015/09/mercedes-c63-s-wimmer-rst/#respond Tue, 29 Sep 2015 06:35:22 +0000 http://www.carztuning.com/?p=5302 Wimmer RST released details and photos on a new tuning kit based on the Mercedes C63 S. They’ve picked the estate model for this package and managed to make it a very powerful family car.

To begin with, the stock 4.0-liter V8 unit got a major bump of 130 horsepower. This means that the total output has been rised to 640 horses thanks to a revised ECU as well as a tweaked exhaust system.

Wimmer RST released no specific figures for the 0-100 km/h sprint time but we are sure that the additional power will improve the standard (and already impressive) 4,1 seconds time.

The top speed, which is normally capped at 250 km/h, should also see a noticeable improvement. If the changes under the hood are quite big, we can’t say the same thing about the styling improvements.

They are a lot more subtle and include new 19-inch BBS wheels as well as a nice, quad-pipe stainless steel sports exhaust system which stands out in the back of the car. Pricing and availability details were not released yet but there’s a comprehensive photo gallery to take a look at.
