The Japanese specialists at Abflug decided to release a tuning kit for the Mercedes SL, the previous generation to be more precise.

We don’t know why Abflug picked the previous SL rather than the current one but we do know that the improvements brought by the tuner are quite nice.

The German model sits on new 20-inch alloy wheels fitted with 255/30 R20 (front) and 305/25 R20 (rear) Falken tires. Last but not least, Abflug says that the SL R240 Platinum gets an improved chassis along with a retuned suspension.
