Akrapovič unveils Concept Titanium Evolution for Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG

The Akrapovič Concept Titanium Evolution exhaust system for the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG, shown for the first time in public at SEMA 2011, acts as a preview of the upcoming high performance exhaust system for the legendary Gullwing. Its massive 6.3-liter V8 engine breathes through an Akrapovič exhaust system with pronounced sound.

We are told the engineers at Akrapovič did a great job keeping the unwanted drone effect out of this very light exhaust system that is another piece of Akrapovič art. You can expect a gain of 12 HP and 19 Nm/14 lbs-ft of torque achieved with the Concept Evolution system’s link pipes with resonators and a rear muffler.

According to Akrapovič , the Concept exhaust system saves an amazing 20 kilograms/44 pounds. When available, the serial version of the Concept Evolution exhaust system for the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG will also include a Wireless Kit for exhaust valve control. With its valves closed the V8 sounds a bit louder than in its stock configuration. The real difference comes from open valves, where this powerful machine roars like a typical V8 muscle car.

The one thing we quickly realized upon looking closely at the jewelry-like Akrapovič systems on display was you'll want to purchase two, one for you car and one for you living room, it's that beautiful.

the wheels look amazing... i think the fitment and the color are throwing me off but the wheels themselves are pretty damn cool.

They looked simply outrageous in person as did the rest of the pieces added from Renntech including the cabron lip and rear diffuser.

Thanks for the wheel kudos. The wheels are our new RENNtech 2-piece forged magnesium wheels made exclusively for the SLS.

The wheels are a 20x9.5 on the front and a 21 x 11.0 rear. More info to follow as we are going to release more info on these extremely light weight wheels this week.

As was also mentioned, this SLS also featured our full carbon fiber front splitter and rear diffuser. The car truly looked amazing and Akrapovic did an incredible job of showcasing their latest exhaust at SEMA.
