If you’re looking for the ultimate bad-boy ride, Lorinser may have your number with the Nardo3 SL, a pumped-up version of the Mercedes-Benz SL 2- seater.


Named after the famed high-speed Italian oval, the Nardo3 is simply a beast. The German tuner has worked its magic on the twin-turbo 6.0-liter V-12, boosting output to an amazing 660 bhp and promising a top speed of 220 mph. Even more awe inspiring is the 747 lb.-ft. of torque.


The Lorinser Nardo3 has been fitted with all sorts of aerodynamic devices that not only keep the car firmly planted to pavement when traveling triple digit speeds, but also adds to the outlaw aura. The front and rear fascias have been modified with extra inlets to improve airflow to the engine and brakes. There’s also a new scoop ahead of the rear wheels and a corresponding exhaust outlet behind the rear wheels that also aids in brake cooling.


All this muscle does not come at the expense of comfort. All the cockpit amenities that you’ve come to expect from this Mercedes-Benz flagship have been left intact. Not only is the car fast, it is exclusive. Only 50 copies will be produced by the German tuner.
