Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Cormeum

Mansory added to their Geneva Auto Salon lineup by displaying their Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG tuning kit that they call the 'Cormeum'. The name was picked personally by Kourosh Mansory, inspirations coming from the Vincero Veyron. The car is limited to only 15 examples, while light-weight materials help save 90kg.

LED lights where added to the exterior package, while the new front skirt supplies the enlarged cooler that propels the air out of the new bonnet. Side skirts make the two-seater look even lower and longer, while Cormeum extends by 66 millimetres at the front axle and 84 millimetres at the rear axle. The rear apron has been exchanged and a race diffuser renders additional downforce. A rear spoiler with carbon flaps was also added.

Forged wheels measure 9×20 inches with 265/30er tyres at the front and 11×21 inches with 295/25er tyres at the rear axle. The tyres are provided by Michelin. Due to new springs and dampers, the Cormeum’ s center of gravity is 20mm lower than the basic model.

For performance, the car got a power increase to 660hp and a maximum torque of 4,850 rpm. Mansory is working an another package with a tune up to 800hp.

For interior styling, the Cormeum features a newly designed centre console, developed sports steering wheel, aluminium pedals and many more real carbon applications.
