Kicherer Modifies Mercedes SL Into K60 Evo Black

Kicherer, the Mercedes tuning specialist, has an updated edition of its SL conversion, the K60 Evo Black.

The K60 package starts with a twin-turbo 5.5-liter V12 upgraded to 605 horsepower. Kicherer claims 0-60-mph acceleration is trimmed to less than 4.3 seconds; the K60 can rocket to 125 mph in just over 14 seconds. Top speed is electronically governed to 186 mph.

Under-the-skin modifications include tweaks to the body control and suspension settings, and a ride height that has been lowered by 1 inch, as well as high-performance brakes with drilled discs and a sport exhaust system.

The 20-inch Kicherer RS-1 alloy wheels are shod with Z-rated Continentals: 255/30 in front and 305/25 in the rear.

An aero body kit consists of a front apron with a large central air intake and a new rear diffuser and deck lid. Carbon trim pieces are available to dress up the cabin.
