Why would someone want to turn a future collectible supercar like the Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren into a Fast & Furious style “rice-racer” and on top of that, spend a fortune during the process, is something we cannot answer.

What we can tell you is that FAB Design’s proposal is called Desire -?????- and aside from the crab-like fascia and the numerous aerodynamic doodads that include an extra larger rear wing, the SLR McLaren has also received extensive modifications under the hood.

The result is an output of 750HP and 1,080Nm of torque instead of the standard SLR V8s 626 HP and 780 Nm respectively, for a zero to 100km/h (62mph) sprint time of 3.6 seconds and a top speed of 310km/h or 196mph.

FAB Design’ package for the SLR McLaren also includes an improved suspension system and 20-inch alloy wheels wrapped in 265/30 ZR 20 (front) and 325/25 ZR 20 (rear) Michelin performance tires.
