Stockach-based tuning specialist Kicherer has released details of its Yachting program for the mighty Mercedes-Benz CLS 63 AMG.

Already developing a healthy 415 kW (557 hp) and 800 Nm of torque from its 5.5-litre bi-turbo V8, Kicherer tweaks the ECU software to produce 466 kW (625 hp) and 860 Nm and raises the V-Max to 300 km/h (186 mph). The power converter removes the delay that can be experienced in fly-by-wire accelerators, while the limited slip differential provides increased traction.

Other upgrades include a Brembo brake upgrade kit along with stainless steel braided hoses, Kicherer’s own three-piece RS-1 forged wheels in 20 and 21-inch diameters and an electronic lowering module.

Visually, this four-door coupé wears a Star Graphite body film, while interior changes include reupholstered seats with contrasting piping, an Alcantara-trimmed steering wheel and carbon inlays.
