(from Kicherer Press Release) One thing is for sure, a Mercedes CL is one of the most comfortable and largest coupés on the market. And those who will choose the CL 600 with V12 biturbo will even be able to take pleasure in something like sports car characteristics despite the giant’s opulent weight.
And should you care to
provide the Super Benz’s sheer luxury with an extra dose of dynamic
vitality, Kicherer has in stock what you are looking for.
The specialists from
Lake Constance have redefined the CL with several new components –
and baptised it CL 60.
Among other things, this reinterpretation includes a storming increase in performance from 517 hp to 570 hp and an improved torque resulting in 900 Nm.
Moreover, the vehicle has been provided with a high-performance rear axle equipped with a differential lock and a modified transmission control module assuring that the excessive powers will always be transformed into performance – whatever the situation.
The contact to the
tarmac is established by the handcrafted multipart 20“ Kicherer RS-1
wheels.
Accordingly, the chassis has been lowered electronically by 25
millimetres and comes up with
a slightly racier characteristic now – which, however, will still
offer the spoiled owner a sufficient
amount of remaining comfort.
The exterior has been blessed with several modifications as well. Here, altered side skirts, a front and a rear apron meet a handful of high-end carbon components by Kicherer. At the front, the latter consist of special deflectors for the bumper and a modified front grill. At the side, they consist of mirror shells made of that precious material mentioned before, and, at the rear, we find an impressive diffuser framed by a four-pass sports exhaust system.
The interior will
delight the owner with sporty luxuries as well, since here he will
find an opulent
combination of finest leather and racy carbon intarsia.
For all these reasons
and more, the Kicherer CL 60 is, without any doubt, the most
consistent
realisation of a dynamic luxury coupé in our time. Appearance and
performance have come together in perfect harmony.
