Mercedes-Benz CLS 63 AMG by MKB

Posted 9th January, 2013 in Mercedes-Benz | Leave a comment

Winnenden-based Mercedes-Benz tuning specialist MKB has developed a program to boost the CLS 63 AMG.

Already churning out an impressive 415 kW (557 hp) and 800 Nm of torque from its 5.5-litre bi-turbo V8 in factory form, MKB remaps the ECU software, increases boost pressure and fits its own manifolds and exhaust system, which sees output jump to 515 kW (700 hp) and 1,000 Nm. On the road that translates to a 0-100 km/h time of 4.1 seconds – up from 4.4s – and an electronically limited top speed of 300 km/h (186 mph), although the company will increase that figure to 340 km/h (211 mph) – tyres permitting.

Those wheels are interesting…
