Hidden behind the name
“Borasca” is the Spanish designation for storm and thunderstorm. And in
the case of this gorgeous interpretation of an open Mercedes-Benz SLS

completely new side skirts with rear air shaft. Even in the rear,
Joachim Inden has applied exclusive carbon fiber in the new rear apron

rear. INDEN Design has mounted Continental
