FAB Design's Opposite Day has a Positive Effect on the McLaren MP4-12C

For the second time this year, FAB Design has surprised us in a positive way with one of its tunes. After the livable Mercedes-Benz E-Class Convertible, the notorious maker of one of the most hideous Escalade transformations ever, presented its take on the McLaren MP4-12C today at the 2012 Geneva Auto Salon. And it's not bad at all.

The Swiss design house adds some more flair to the British supercar through a new wide-body aero package that includes redesigned bumpers and fenders, a spoiler under the windshield, side skirts, profile air intakes, plus a carbon fiber lip spoiler and rear wing.

FAB Design Cloaks the Mercedes-Benz E-Class Convertible in a Wide Body Kit

Over the years, we've seen some pretty crude creations from Swiss tuning house FAB Design including an atrocious-looking Cadillac Escalade for a North African client.

But once in a while, FAB Design comes up with a tune that we could live with such as its new offering for the latest Mercedes-Benz E-Class Convertible series.

FAB Design's Cadillac Escalade Proves Money Can't Buy Taste

Swiss-based tuning firm Fab Design will no doubt raise a few eyebrows with its most recent work on the Cadillac Escalade. Roland Rysanek, the owner of the aftermarket company, which specializes on Mercedes-Benz models, found himself in front of a dilemma when asked by a North African client to modify the heavyweight American SUV.

Rysanek eventually accepted the job, as the eccentric owner was a loyal client with plenty of Fab Design Mercedes models parked in his garage. Anything for a devoted customer, right? Well, this particular client wanted the car to look like no other Escalade and to have an interior lined with genuine snake leather and crocodile-imitating leather – lots of it.

FAB Design Shows Off 611HP Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG 'Gullwing'

Swiss tuning firm FAB Design has just pulled back the sheets on its powered-up Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG proposal. Though the company has yet to publish all the details, we do know that the tuner found a way to extract 40 more ponies from 'Gullwing' door supercar's V8 engine pushing total output to 611-horsepower. The extra oomph allows the SLS AMG to do the 0-to-100km/h (62mph) sprint in 3.7 seconds instead of the stock model's time of 3.8 seconds.

FAB Design's Desire: A not so Desirable Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren

Why would someone want to turn a future collectible supercar like the Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren into a Fast & Furious style "rice-racer" and on top of that, spend a fortune during the process, is something we cannot answer. What we can tell you is that FAB Design's proposal is called Desire -?????- and aside from the crab-like fascia and the numerous aerodynamic doodads that include an extra larger rear wing, the SLR McLaren has also received extensive modifications under the hood.

The result is an output of 750HP and 1,080Nm of torque instead of the standard SLR V8s 626 HP and 780 Nm respectively, for a zero to 100km/h (62mph) sprint time of 3.6 seconds and a top speed of 310km/h or 196mph.

FAB Design' package for the SLR McLaren also includes an improved suspension system and 20-inch alloy wheels wrapped in 265/30 ZR 20 (front) and 325/25 ZR 20 (rear) Michelin performance tires.
