We find it a bit ironic that a car this hideous came from a company called Fab Design. It's hard to imagine that a car as pretty as the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG (http://autoblog.com/model/sls+amg) could be turned into something so offensive. We're fine with the matte blue paint finish, but the added aero treatment, massive rear air vents below the taillamps and blue-trimmed wheels are all sorts of awful.
And then there's the interior (http://www.autoblog.com/photos/fab-design-sls-amg-geneva-2011/#3929222).
This kaleidoscope of ugly uses a mixture of white and blue on nearly every touchable surface, including the leather seats. We don't doubt that it's as comfortable as ever, but this is eye-stabbingly bad.
Don't believe us? See the Fab Design SLS AMG for yourself in the high-res image gallery below.
