MODERN CLASSIC RALLY & COMPETITION PREPARATION
All Mercedes-Benz models possess untapped potential in the realms of competitive rallying, hill-climbs and even track based sports… You might just not know it yet. If you’re considering modifying and improving your modern classic Mercedes-Benz for competition purposes, look no further than the perfect petrolhead partner: SLSHOP.
WHAT ARE MY OPTIONS?
SLSHOP’s SportLine department has spent years fine tuning improvements to a range of Mercedes models from the 1990s and 2000s. These improvements are vast, with options including manual gearbox conversions, reprogrammed ECUs, upgraded turbos, bigger brakes, suspension enhancement and more.
This is just a snapshot of the Mechanical improvements our team make.
On the inside, we have devised bespoke rool cages and added race seats with rally timers and sophisticated lighting systems for nighttime competitive environments.
OUR APPROACH
We work with you to understand the competitions you’re likely to be engaged in, fine tuning improvements according to your needs. This is a tailored approach focused in making your vehicle competitive, reliable and enjoyable.
SLSHOP EXISTS FOR THE DRIVERS
We have petrol running through our veins. We regularly race and modify different models to compete as a brand. Our own race cars have competed at Goodwood and all of the UK’s most well known race tracks. We know how a rally car should sit and perform, how a race car should launch and stop, we know how they should sound. Afterall, this is what we do. We build individual competition cars for people who share our petrolhead DNA.
