The FAB DESIGN 2007 Mercedes S-Class

Posted by www.eMercedesBenz.com on April 7, 2006 at 10:50 AM CST

Mercedes sales figures, job cuts, the James Cook... blah, blah, blah.

As you're scanning the current crop of stories, I already know what  
you're thinking - financials are great, but I need to customize my  
ride, dammit.  I can't have Reggie Bush out rollin' in his CLS Shark  
II, while I'm sittin' in my stock Benz.  Help me eMercedesBenz, help me.

If I'm speaking to you - if you're ready to outshine Reggie and any  
other professional athletes, today is your day.  Why?  Because I am  
officially proclaiming that today is FAB DESIGN day.  The next three  
stories... nothing but tuning goodness, courtesy of FAB DESIGN.

I'm going to kick things off with my personal favorite, the FAB  
DESIGN kit for the always illustrious 2007 Mercedes S550.

As is the case with most tuners, FAB began the transformation by  
adding a front spoiler, side skirts and a new rear bumper, offering  
customers a simple yet sporty enhancement to vehicle's already  
elegant curves.

To further enhance the S's exterior appearance, 20" three-piece  
forged wheels and stainless steel quad exhausts add an additional  
spark to further set you apart from your non-tuner brethren.

And finally, to make sure you can escape the crowds that are sure to  
gather to get a glimpse of your freshly-tuned luxury sedan, a 540  
horsepower FAB DESIGN supercharged V8 is offered, capable of  
accelerating from 0-60 in 4.9 seconds and reaching a top speed of 184  
mph.  Not too shabby.
