Black on black is the look that car tuning company Kicherer aimed for in their newest release, the Mercedes Benz SL 63 RS, however they didn’t stop there. Not only did they modify the exterior, but under the hood Kicherer tuned this Mercedes for extra horsepower. The stock 6.2-liter V8 engine produces 525 hp and 630 Nm of torque from the factory, and with some tuning they were able to increase its numbers to 560 hp and 670 Nm of torque. The exterior received a new aerodynamic kit made of carbon fiber. In the front a new spoiler was added, LED daytime running lights, and a new front grille.

Even though the new Mercedes E-Class isn’t available in any showroom yet, Germans from Kicherer already released the first styling package for the new E-Class from Mercedes. The new body kit has better aerodynamics and it consists of new front and rear aprons, new side skirts, rear spoiler and side mirrors casings, all made from carbon fiber. Kicherer equipped this car with 20″ light alloy wheels with spokes painted in black that’s perfectly mixed with chromed margins to get an interesting visual effect. The car also received a double exhaust system and a sport suspension and a new custom interior. The car tuning company installed a new sport steering wheel covered with fine leather and they covered this car’s interior with Nappa leather and added carbon fiber insertions to get that super car feeling.
Good news for Mercedes SUV owners: Kicherer released their latest upgrade program for the Mercedes GL Class. They named their project Mercedes GL42 Black line because it’s based on the GL 420 CDI and even though the car’s look wasn’t changed too much, under the hood this is a completely new car. This Mercedes hides a V8 engine under the bonner and after the guys from Kicherer upgraded the engine cooling unit this V8 delivers 360 HP and a maximum torque of 900 Nm. With this power improvement this GL has a top speed higher than 280 km/h. The car’s electronic suspension was adjusted to offer a sportier curve, more stability and improved handling.
Kicherer claims that their newest project is not the new Mercedes SL, it’s not the SL 63 AMG, it’s all Kicherer. The Kicherer Mercedes SL Evo II has many custom made parts and even thought it’s based on the old Mercedes SL R230 it looks different. They made a carbon fiber rear wing and front skirt hand made and equipped the car with lightweight cast wheels and other goodies that will please any customer. The tuning package also includes new side air intakes which will cool this car’s engine easier, a lot of carbon fiber elements to improve the aerodynamics and a rear diffuser which will lessen air resistance. The SL Evo II is equipped with Kicherer Downforce System which is an electronically controlled flap that optimizes down force on the rear axle to improve stability, handling and performance.
With 612 HP and a torque of 1000 Nm under the hood, Mercedes CL65 AMG is one of the most powerful street cars at the moment. Even though this car is really fast there are still tuners that try to modify it and Kicherer is one of them. For the car’s exterior, the german tuner made a front grille, an extension for the front bumper, new side mirrors and a new rear diffuser, all made from carbon fiber. The aggressive look of this german coupe also comes from those 20″ rims, the new exhaust with 4 pipes and the car’s suspension which brings it lower with 25mm. In the car’s interior the passagers will enjoy the fine nappa leather, alcantara and many carbon fiber insertions. [click to continue…]
