Very special, only 1 in the entire world: Trasos SL-RS

Here in Holland, there is a truly unique car, the Trasos SL-RS based on the SL55 AMG. With a SLR nose, engine upgrade to 640hp, 6 exhausts, Lambo Style Doors (which looks awesome), Carlsson rims and a special interior.

Here is a bunch of pictures of it. Hate it, or love it.

Interior's OK, but it looks like an overgrown SLK.

The color around the windshield suppose to be the original stock factory upholstery color. I think.

i realize that it is very subjective, but ...

the exhaust and lambo doors scream "poser".

the interior is the wrong color on a black car.

whoever made the car look like that should have bought a lambo to begin with as the bull is closer to the owner's (or builder's) mentality.

Exclamation Tiny update: Video; Trasos SL-RS vs. moped

Video in Holland (sort of dragrace)

---- Trasos SL-RS (5.4 V8 Supercharged, 640bhp) ---- vs. ---- Piaggio Zip SP (2Fast4Race 80cc 1 cylinder, 35+bhp (with NOS) ----

Let's see who's win... You'll be suprised! (I guess)

What are your comments...

Not a fan of the SLR look nose on anything but the SLR. The tri dual exhaust look is a bit TOO much (even for me)! The interior looks unfinished with the A pillar and front headliner still stock...

PS I'm not feeling the coffee color interior against the black exterior...maybe white would work better. Still would not be my first choice.

Anyone have seen the video? What do you think about it? Does give the Merc not full throttle or does it? I don't know, because a 55 AMG always sounds awsome, even when you don't put the pedal to the metal.

I think it should stay one of a kind..the last thing we need are more copies of this "unique" monstrosity roaming around ...j/k serriously though...the wheels are great, the hood is ok, the interior is ok but I like dark interiors, the exhaust is a bit too much...

There is a UK company called KHAN Developments that fit the SLR nose
to SL55's.

A little over board for me, but if the person like it that all that matters.

The car looks really cheezy...

I think the most amusing thing about it is that the dude renamed the car... can I rename my car after doing my mods? Cool now I am driving a TMC CL-RS, it is a one off model...it is based on a CL65....

have anyone seen my moped vs. SL-RS movie? How could it be that a 35bhp moped smoked a 640bhp Merc?

I agree! The nose does not flow well with the rest of the front end and the tri dual exhaust is over kill. The coffee color interior does not blend well with the black exterior but perhaps it would work better with a lighter exterior.
