Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG prepared by McChip

The Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG has been revisited by the engineers from McChip who updated their “MC700” program.

The upgrade program developed by the German tuner includes a remapped ECU, a mechanically-driven compressor and a custom Capristo exhaust system.

Has 2012 been a successful year for Mercedes?

With a fervour that to a certain degree reflects the political machinations of the Obama-Romney presidential race, both BMW and Mercedes have been scrambling desperately to out do each other. At the end of 2012, both of these automotive behemoths held off from announcing their end of year results for 24 hours in a bid to gain… Continue Reading »
