Same here... btw, I don't like the fact that they removed tre badge from the grille...
Otherwise it's a great car with a monstrous engine.

Brabus take Mercedes cars and then modify the engines hugely (and I mean huge performance) and modify the bodykit. I have said for many years that I would not buy a Merc, it would always be a Brabus or Kleeman. They sound just great as well :twisted:

Found some info on the latest Kleeman CL60, the version of the Mercedes CL600 that brabus have tuned above I think. Anyway, I prefer this one :twisted:

WOW possibly one of the most extreme Mercs i have come across!
I think Mercedes performance enhancement companies do something fresh with the cars, everytime i see them they are increased heavily in HP and torque but the 0-60 figure nearly always stays slightly above 4.
Considering cars such as impreza's and EVO's in top spec hit 60 in about the same, i know performance is not everything but the way it's going its getting predictable and monotonous, so any ideas?????

I don't really care TBH, the Mercs are 2-3 times heavier than the Impreza's and Evo's, so it is quite impressive times when you think of it like that. And although I would take the Kleeman over an Impreza, I would choose an Impreza over nearly all standard Merc's.
Also, there is a limit as to how quick you can get to 60mph, realistically an the quickest for a sensble road car is only really going to be 4 secs, with some 3.5's in there, not only is anything quicker F-ing quick, but very difficult to muster for a road car.
As for the WOW statement, I agree :D :D and I know what you mean about the "fresh", most of the car is re-fitted, the interior, the exterior and the running gear :P

yeah, i really like the interior and engine, they could have worked a bit more on the body kits and exterior... but i guess it would be a little too much pricy then :wink:
