Mercedes-Benz ML 63 AMG by VATH
As it comes from the factory, the Mercedes Benz ML63 AMG is one of the most powerful SUVs on the market today. However if you appetite can’t be satiated by Mercedes in house tuners, then the aftermarket modification specialists at VATH might have something that is of great interest to you, an all new performance package that not only adds a few horsepower to the ML Class, but also balance out all aspects of the ML as well.
Not ones to worry about getting their hands dirty, VATH’s team of mechanics will pull the heads so that their machinists can open up the air passages with a port and polish before they recut the valve seats so that not only will they be able to flow more air but so that the new oversized intake and exhaust valves will be able to keep the power producing explosion inside the combustion chamber even better contained. With the addition of performance camshafts, the entire package will bump the hand built 6.2 Liter V8s output up to 585 HP, 75 HP over stock. The result of the enhancements is an SUV that can sprint from 0 to 60 MPH in only 4.5 seconds and reach a top speed of 186 MPH. On the outside, VATH’s adds a new rear spoiler to help keep the SUV stable at speed. The ML now rides on a set of three piece light weight alloy rims measuring 22 inches in diameter that house a high performance braking system and hide the upgraded suspension from gazing onlookers. The price for all this high performance hardware is €17,850; which is not bad considering the amount you already dropped on an AMG tuned SUV.

Mercedes SLS AMG by MEC Design
After Brabus, the next tuner of the day showing interest in the new SLS AMG is Mec Design (no, we did not forgot about Lorinser, but they only revealed a few sketches of their SLS). The SLS AMG designed by the German tuner seems more compacted and flattened compared to a standard model.
They opted to lower the ride and added oversized side skirts, air intakes curved side, a new front fascia graft, daytime running LEDs, a rear spoiler, a new exhaust system and 22″ Mextremell rims.
On the interior the tuner added carbon fiber inserts, a sport steering wheel and a mix of leather and Alcantara.
