In this thrilling episode of DailyDrivenExotics, the team finally embarks on a project two years in the making - widebodying a 2011 Mercedes SLS with a GT3 kit. Originally eyeing a Bentley GT3 kit, fate intervenes as they secure a real GT3 race car kit from the Philippines. The team dives headfirst into dismantling the car, turning their long-held dream into a jaw-dropping reality. Amidst concerns about cutting into the unique aluminum design of the SLS, they press on with unwavering determination.

As the project unfolds, discussions arise about the potential addition of twin turbos to the build, injecting a dose of adrenaline into an already exhilarating endeavor. Contemplating the SLS's transformation into a cop car lookalike, the team explores the car's aluminum construction and the weight reduction achieved through strategic panel removal. A surprising revelation shakes the crew as they uncover plastic components in the vehicle, shedding light on the intricate design elements of the iconic SLS.

The episode culminates in a reflection on the SLS's not only being a thrilling car but also a savvy investment. With its market value soaring well above its original MSRP, the SLS proves to be a gem in the used car market, showcasing its timeless appeal and enduring value. Through meticulous disassembly and insightful discoveries, DailyDrivenExotics takes viewers on a riveting journey of transformation, blending passion, craftsmanship, and a keen eye for detail in a project that promises to leave a lasting mark on the automotive world.
