DUB Magazine Feature : Mercedes-Benz CL-Class
By Wippz on May 2, 2008 in Mercedes Benz

If you’ve ever seen a Mercedes-Benz CL-Class, you may already know why this sexy beast is one of the best selling luxury coupes in the world today. With its aggressive exterior styling, lush interior amenities and the latest in Mercedes-Benz technology, the CL-Class offers the complete package of looks, comfort and loads of power—such as the CL 65 AMG, which comes equipped with a 6.0-liter AMG V12 Biturbo engine that produces 612 horsepower and hits 0-60 mph in 4.4 seconds. Unfortunately top speed is “limited” at 155 mph, a restriction that aftermarket tuners are undoubtedly already working on removing. Taking the CL-Class to a higher level, the following companies produce lyric-inspiring, drool-inducing machines of supreme illness. (Source: DUBDaily)
BRABUS
Brabus revels in dressing up and tuning Mercedes-Benz vehicles, and they’ve earned every cent of their paychecks with their work on the CL. Brabus offers a full aero kit (complete with integrated entrance lights on the side skirts, sport suspension, new performance wheels and tires, and new stainless steel quad sports exhaust system) and will customize the interior to the buyer’s taste, including exclusive Brabus leather interiors crafted from soft yet durable Brabus Mastik leather and Alcantara. The CL 600 gets the Brabus 6.3L V12 S Biturbo replacement engine, which generates 730 horsepower, rushing from 0-60 mph in just 4 seconds and reaching an incredible 211 mph, making it one of the fastest luxury coupes in the world!
FABULOUS
This subtle body kit enhances the CL’s smooth and elegant lines and curves. It includes a front bumper, driving lamps, side skirts, rear bumper, rear spoiler and “FABULOUS” badging, making it undeniably clear that the CL is dressed to the nines. In addition, the buyer also gets to choose from among eight wheel packages to go with the kits, which only serve to augment the CL’s already classy appearance.
CARLSSON AIGNER CK65 “EAU ROUGE”
The Carlsson Aigner CK65 Eau Rouge is the product of a joint-effort between the German tuning house and Etienne Aigner, a high-end supplier and designer of leather goods. The V12 Biturbo gets a boost from new intercoolers and heavy ECU tuning, producing more than 700 horsepower, blasting 0-60 in 4 seconds and reaching 195 mph. Ultra-light, 21-inch aluminum wheels are wrapped in Dunlop SP Sport Maxx ZR tires. The CK65, which features a two-tone paintjob similar to the Bugatti Veyron, is fully-equipped with Carlsson aerodynamic carbon fiber parts, C-Tronic suspension, and luxurious interior layered with luscious red leather, Alcantara and wood lining—even the steering wheel! A Carlsson sports exhaust system, with four tailpipes, offers a sonorous tone.
WALD SPORTLINE KIT
The WALD Sportline Kit for the CL-Class takes cues from WALD’s aggressive body styling of the late ’90s. The WALD aero kit (manufactured with fiberglass reinforced plastic) includes a front half bumper encasing dual halo fog lamps; side skirts and front fenders featuring shark-like gills; distinctive rear bumper with a brake lamp similar to those seen in 24 Hours of Le Mans races; dual-tip (4.5 inches per tip) sport exhaust, providing a deep resonating tone; and rear trunk and roof spoilers.
AUTO COUTURE
Subtle, yet clean, Auto Couture’s full body kit includes a front bumper, fog lamps (with optional fog covers), side skirts that hug the sides of the CL, rear bumper (in addition to a factory Euro aluminum bumper), set of two fenders, exhaust package (with a distinct, dual-stacked option), rear trunk and roof spoilers, and badging. Auto Couture also offers an ECU upgrade that raises horsepower to 625, allowing the CL to reach up to 200 mph!
FAB DESIGN WIDE BODY
Fab Design offers one of the more aggressive full body kits for the CL-Class, with a side front bumper and front fenders, and dynamic side skirts and rear fenders. Four integrated, slightly horizontally-placed exhaust tips give the CL a unique look, while Fab Design Type 6 Evoline aluminum wheels and Dunlop SP Sport Maxx ZR tires provide an edge of ferocity. The interior features light beige Fab Design leather and Alcantara with imitation crocodile inserts. To top it all off, the V12 Biturbo has been tuned to provide 641 horsepower and 826 lb.-ft. of torque.
