VATH V58 Rocket Compressor

Understatement cannot be qualified as one of the advantageous features of VÄTH V58. This is considered to be the same as with SLK AMG R171. Not only the outside appearance of VÄTH V58 cannot be ignored, but also the SLK performance cannot be recognized under the motor hood. A high-performance 565 hp and 770 Nm engine is running in the motor compartment. The increase in performance and thus engine upgrading is achieved by cylinder capacity improvement by 5.8 liters combined with a compressor.

These upgrades include sports pistons, sports distribution shafts, exhaust manifolds, catalysts of high-grade steel, sports exhaust silencers, polished cylinder heads, a sports air filter and a long-stroke crankshaft. Together with fine adjustment of electronics, this is enough to launch the cabriolet with a speed of 310 km/h. The cost of such performance improvement amounts to 30,785 Euro including installation works and technical inspection fees.

Optionally, the VÄTH tuning company supplies a locking differential for 5,224 Euro and its home-produced and patented fuel cooler for 2,070 Euro.

19-incher wheels guarantee an impressive appearance with mirror polished rim wells of high-grade steel. They are available off-the-shelf in silver, black or the car colour at your choice. High durability tyres with the front size of 235/35 and 275/30 at the back axle ensure excellent contact with the road.
Custom-made threaded sports chassis (3,677 Euro including installation works and wheel alignment) draws the car nearer to the road surface – from 20 to 65 mm (user adjustable).

To improve stoppage characteristics, VÄTH provides high-performance brake system (6,009 Euro including installation works and technical inspection fees). Six-piston saddles with 378-millimeter brake disks are provided at the front.

What is more, VÄTH has made SLK more streamlined thanks to carbon components. The aerodynamic package includes carbon front spoiler lips (1,404 Euro), varnished in black here, and a rear diffuser (1,952 Euro) with visible carbon Finns and prolongation of the underside.

Interior package (2,975 Euro) consists of climate control system, ashtray protective coating, gear shift gate, gear knob, light-reflecting door coatings and left/right seat position control coverings.
To be in harmony with the car’s interior climate, VÄTH offers sports steering wheel, if desired, with leather, carbon or fine wood trimming for 1,416 Euro.

Those white plastic spacers on the rear diffuser look as if they will fall apart in 5 minutes. Other than that looks nicer than the Brabus from the other week

Yeah + they are asking to be pulled off/nicked arent they!

The car begs the question as to who would buy & spend that much on it as the SLKs replacement is due within a year!?!
 
They should have made the rear diffuser a fully carbon or carbon-wrapped item with moulded fins rather than bolt-on.

This car isn't about the looks though, you could replicate the looks for under £1k so presumably the remaining 29k goes on mechanical stuff :)
 
I really like that. Remove the carbon attachments and its awesome.
 
Why oh why do they do away with the star on the front ?

Looks pony from the front , but the rear 3/4 shot looks ace.

Stick the star back on in place of the halfords mesh and it would look ace from the front too .
 
don't like the tacky little after market switch just under the handbrake, just below and between the 2 control pods

Most likely TM & Copyright reasons for advertising etc. as they arent an onboard tuner like Brabus The actual car will have them fitted no doubt...!

Appears to be a panel gap under the right hand headlight compared to the left :D

Also available in Maplins for around £1.09 :)
