Mercedes SLS AMG Borrasca Roaster by INDEN Design

INDEN Design has introduced their new Mercedes SLS AMG Borrasca Roadster. Named after the Spanish word for storm, the supercar has been equipped with an aerodynamic body kit that includes a new front bumper, a carbon fiber front lip spoiler and revised side skirts. The model also has ventilated front fenders and a new rear bumper with an integrated carbon fiber diffuser. There's also lowing springs (which reduce the ride height by 15mm), a stainless steel sports exhaust system and 21-inch alloy wheels with Continental high-performance tires.

For added performance, the 6.3-liter V8 engine has been massaged to develop 635 HP (467 kW). Detailed performance specifications were not released but the SLS AMG GT Roadster - with 591 HP (435 kW) - accelerates from 0-60 mph in just 3.6 seconds.

Mercedes-Benz SL 65 AMG by Inden Design

German tuner Inden Design has a new kit for the Mercedes-Benz SL 65 AMG.

For the body, the tuner has a aerodynamic package that includes a new front apron with large air vents, new bonnet, widening front wings, side skirts and enlarged wheel wells. At the back a spoiler, new apron and diffuser are added.

For the engine tuning, Inden Design dials up power on the SL 65 AMG's 6.0 liter twin-turbo V12 engine to 680 PS (500 kW / 671 bhp) from the series' 612 PS (450 kW / 604 bhp). The V-max lock is also lifted.

The tuner also adds Black Sapphire exhaust pipes that deliver a new engine sound.

For the ride, the tuner offers Inden Champion rims in 11 x 20-inch or 13 x 20-inch dimensions with 265/30R20 and 325/25R20 tires, respectively. An electronic control module for the suspension lowers the ride height by 45 mm.

For the inside, Inden adds a Black Series steering wheel in Alcanatara.

The car will be on display at the Tuning World Bodensee in Friedrichshafen, Germany from May 5 to May 11.

Mercedes-Benz S-Class by Inden Design

German tuner Inden Design has a package that aims to bring the (W221) Mercedes-Benz S500 closer to an S65 AMG, at least in terms of looks.

The tuning package begins on the outside with a new front spoiler, side sills and a rear diffuser with integrated quad exhaust pipes. Daytime running lights are also added while taillights and side mirrors get their own touches too. The S500 gets coated in a charcoal-gray matte film for that unique flush look.

For the engine tuning, there's a power upgrade to 420 PS (309 kW / 414 bhp) up from the series' 388 PS (285 kW / 383 bhp) on the 5.5 liter V8. That comes in part due to the new stainless-steel exhaust system with AMG pipes.

Brakes are upgraded to those found on the S600 V12 BiTurbo with 6-piston calipers for the front wheels and 4-piston brake calipers to keep the rear axle in check.

Suspension lowering of 50 mm also takes place and helps highlight the new 20-inch wheels with 265/30-20 tires at the front and 275/30-20 tires for the rear rims.

For the cabin Inden Design has a two-tone leather and Alcantara finish for the headliner, door panels and all three pillars along with carbon inserts replacing the former wood trims. A new speedometer now reads up to 360 km/h.
