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.

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.
BRABUS Mercedes GLK

Lorinser Mercedes SL500
Even though summer is over for most of us, we would all love to own a fast convertible car that could turn heads easily. Mercedes SL500 is one of those cars and the guys from Lorinser decided to create a facelift to make it even better. The Lorinser Mercedes SL500 has a new front bumper with three huge openings and new air intakes, new side skirts and a wide rear bumper. The large air intakes from the front bumper give this car an aggressive look and make it look a lot different than the stock version. The car has RS9 wheels that are equipped with wide tires and give more handling and new energy to this car.
Renntech SLR McLaren 722 PKG2
When Mercedes decided that it’s time to boost the engine power for this lovely SLR supercar they created the limited edition SLR722. A lot of people thought that 722 comes from the power developed by the 5.5L V8 engine of this car while others thought that there will be built only 722 cars like this one. But they were all wrong. In fact the car’s name comes from the Mille Miglia from 1955 where Stirling Moss and Denis Jenkinson won with a Mercedes-Benz 300SLR in front of race favorties like Ferrari and Porsche. The car had the racing number 722 which was the exact hour of race start 7:22 am.
Last year, the car tuning company Renntech ended this confusion and boosted this car’s power from the initial 650 HP to 722 HP. The PKG1 kit included new intercoolers and modified engine cooling unit that will add this slight boost of power.
Renntech Mercedes CLK63 AMG Black Series

Of course, it seems that nothing is extreme for the guys from Renntech and the car tuning company from Florida has added 43 HP to the car’s V8 engine by modifying it’s engine cooling system and installing a new high performance exhaust system. With this extra power this car will accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in less than 4 seconds and it will reach a top speed of over 300 km/h.
Brabus Mercedes GL Widestar

In the interior you will be amazed how luxurious this car can be. Everything is made from finest materials like dark and light leather, alcantara and spiced with aluminum and carbon fiber elements. Brabus is a tuning company that will also modify each car’s performances and this Mercedes GL has received a performance kit that boosts it’s diesel engine power with 33-34 HP.
