Old Skool Tuning: 1983 Mercedes-Benz 560SE with 386HP by Inden Design

Always had a thing for the Mercedes-Benz W126 (1979-1991) with its simple, uncluttered and yet amazingly elegant and timeless styling - a feat never again repeated by the luxury sedan's S Class successors, anyone disagree? This particular example you see pictured above, is a 1983 model modified by Germany's Inden Design in 1991. Being the company's first ever Mercedes product, Inden Design thought that it would be a cool idea to photograph the car and share with us a piece of its history.

The completely blacked out 1983 W126 was upgraded with the 1986 facelift model's bumpers and side covers and the US-spec model's headlamps and tail lights while there's also a sport exhaust system with dual pipes. The lowered suspension and the widened fenders that house 18-inch alloy wheels shod in 255/35 R18 tyres up front and (overly) massive 315/30 R18 tyres at the back, offer the W126 an even more aggressive stance.

The W126's interior, which is completely covered in black Nappa leather, boasts a set of König sport seats up front and special wood trim.

The classic Merc is powered by a 6.0-liter V8 engine from the 560SE producing over 368 horsepower while stopping power comes courtesy of an upgraded 6-piston sports brake system with 352 x 32mm discs from AP Racing.

Ferrari F430 Spider Tuned up by Inden Design

Moving on to its next project, German tuner Inden Design has presented a new sports package for the Ferrari F430 Spider. Performance-wise, changes are limited to a new stainless steel-made sport exhaust system and a reworked ECU that up the output of the 4.3-liter V8 engine to 525 HP, a 35 horsepower increase over the factory figure. The kit also includes a sport spring set that bring the F430 Spider a few millimeters closer to the ground as well as new 20-inch alloy wheels wrapped in 325/25 R20 high-performance tires.

In typical Inden Design fashion, the tuner dresses up the F430 Spider with a new bodykit that comprises of a new front spoiler, side-flaps and a carbon-fiber rear diffuser.

For the interior, the German tuning firm offers various upgrades including special leather trims for the dashboard, the center console, the door panels and the steering wheel covers.

Facelift your 2005 Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG into a 2009 MY

If you happen to own a pre-facelift Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG but at the same time you're more fond of the redesigned version that was introduced at last year's Geneva Motor Show, then you have two options; either go buy the '09 model or give Inden-Design a call as the German tuner has developed a new package that will transform your pre-2008 SL 65 AMG into a 2009 model.

Using original AMG parts, Inden-Design replaces the pre-2008 SL 65 AMG's bonnet, front and rear bumper, grille, headlamps, side skirts, exterior mirrors and exhaust pipes to attain the MY09 look. These changes are complemented by a set of new 19-inch alloys shod in high-performance tires (255/30-19 up front and 305/25-19 at the rear).

Interior changes are limited to the new four-spoke steering wheel dressed in alcantara derived from the SL 65 AMG's evil-twin, the Black Series model.

Furthermore, Inden-Design offers a performance kit that includes a re-engineered turbocharger, a new intercooler, modified ECU and an extra gear oil cooler that helps the bi-turbocharged V12 engine produce an additional 68-horspower for a total output of 680HP.
