Hamann's Highlighter Orange SLS Hawk

See it here: Hamann Hawk Caught Cruising the Streets

There aren't that many SLS roadsters in the world, so one decked out in a hyper aggressive body kit in orange paint is a real attention getter. Do you like it? Too flashy? Check it out through the link above and tell us what you think.

Stock still sounds better. I haven't heard an aftermarket SLS exhaust that doesn't lose some of the deep throaty-ness and bass of the stock system.

I am with Carac on this, all the after market exhaust I have heard take away the menacing deep growl of this car. They fabricated a perfect sound for this car right from the factory. IMO you are spending money for nothing.

The Hamman bodykit is very nice and probably the best for SLS AMG. The red one is stunning

The orange one is so gay It ruined the look of the nice bodykit and it should get a color change

mmh, let me tell you - it's the same car and same color ...
HAMANN had one red SLS roadster at the luxury car show in Monaco

This one: www.hamann-motorsport.com/en/tuning-ranges/mercedes/amg-sls-c197/hawk-roadster/gallery/

I think the camera let the car look orange on the videoclip ^^

Best regards, Daniel

The rims are different in the videos but you may be correct. Look at the brake lights on the orange looking SLS, the brake lights look orange too.

HAMANN put their "Edition Race" on the left side and
"Unique Forged" on the right side of the SLS roadster ...

It's a good idea to show both rims on one car ...

Indeed they did, you can see both sides as he rounds the turn @ 1:00.
