FAB DESIGN, a Swiss-based custom design company, took a stab at fine-tuning an SLR McLaren and it is nothing short of jaw-dropping.
The model, which they’re billeting as ‘Desire’ veers away from the standard design elements of the original SLR McLaren to make it stand out in its own right. Both the front and the rear apron of the car have been drastically altered, making it stealthier than the original. Likewise, the people at FABS also widened the body panels, and added new side skirts, To top it off, they also built a rear spoiler to complete the makeover.
We’re telling you, if Batman needed another Batmobile, he should seriously consider giving these guys a call.
FAB didn’t just end their customizing ways with the exterior, either. They also took time to give ‘Desire’ a spike in performance, increasing the car’s power output to 740 hp with a maximum torque of 1080Nm, giving the car enough bite to jump out of the line to 60mph speeds in just a shade over 3.5 seconds.
FAB DESIGN sure knows how to make something out of an already impressive supercar. The company, however, only made 15 models – all of which have already been bought – so if you were planning to get yourself a ‘Desire’ of your own, well, you’re out of luck.
What you can do is stare at these photos for as long as you like.
At least you won’t have to spend a dime to do that.
