Extreme tuning: Mercedes Benz S-Class

Maybe this is a little bit too much for this Mercedes…Yes, for the folks who don’t know the car you see in the photo is actually a Mercedes S-Class but the vehicle received some extreme tuning from its Japanese driver. The body kit features huge fenders, big alloy wheels, a strange rear spoiler and maybe the most unusual thing about the car are the enormous exhaust pipes.

ART Tuning unveild two-tone Mercedes S-Class

For all the Mercedes-Benz fans: here’s something you can be proud of! ART unveiled a new tuning kit for the curent S-Class also known as the flagship of the German manufacturer. Although the tuning company modifies also the power plants of the vehicles, this time the Mercedes S-Class received most of the attention on the exterior. As you can see the model features two-tone paint scheme together with new front spoiler, unique front grill and four integrated foglamps as well as two double exhaust pipes and an integrated air diffusor in the rear spoiler.

At the interior, ART Tuning keeped the Alcantara leather but also added a second colour in conformity with the exterior colours. The tuner also added custom-build curtains, aluminium door sills an not at last, the badged velour carpets.

The engine of the car features now a new supercharger kit developed specially for this new model. Unfortunately for the fans, the car’s engine doesn’t develop 580hp like the old model 221 AVANTGARDE but the manufacturer assured us that the power available on the vehicle is more than enough. Last thing that was added to the car was the adustable suspension kit together with the 21” rims in the ART style.
