Mercedes-Benz CL Black Edition V2 by Prior Design

Back in February this year German tuner Prior Design released an aftermarket program for the Mercedes-Benz CL (W216FL) and now they are back with the second version. All of the parts are manufactured from Dura-Flex FRP (fiber reinforced plastic) and include a front lip spoiler, front fascia, rear bumper, side skirts. We notice that there’s new hood, mesh grilles, diffuser, bigger rear wheel arches, along with a boot lid spoiler.

According to Prior Design, the aforementioned Dura-Flex FRP is characterized by an excellent surface finish that allows easy and inexpensive painting, while at the same time providing enough flexibility. The entire widebody kit for the CL will set you back 12,900 Euros (approximately $16,400). The German tuner has also prepared a wide variety of alloy wheels for this model, including the ones seen in these attached photos which look excellent.

Brabus 800 Coupe based on Mercedes-Benz CL 600

German tuner Brabus has introduced the Brabus 800 Coupe, based on the Mercedes-Benz CL 600, at the 2011 Dubai International Motor Show.

The tuner turns the 12-cylinder 5.5 liter unit into one displacing 6.3 liters for a total output of 800 PS (588 kW / 788 hp) and 1,420 Nm (1,047 lb-ft) of torque.

The engine work consists of a new crankshaft with a longer stroke, a larger cylinder bore and larger forged pistons. Brabus also replaces the twin-turbo system with its own for those serious power figures. Transmission is a five-speed automatic.

Top speed has to be electronically-limited to 350 km/h (217-mph) and torque on the car is also electronically governed to 1,100 Nm (811 lb-ft). The 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) sprint takes just 3.9 seconds and the car reaches 200 km/h (124 mph) in 10.3 seconds.

Brabus adds an aero kit, 21-inch wheels and a lowering module that brings the car 25 mm closer to the ground in order to keep things stable. To reign it all in is Brabus's high-performance brake system.

For the inside is a finish in white leather and black Alcantara with contrasting diamond stitching. Carbon fiber trims, matte surfaces in checkered flag design, aluminum pedals and a sport steering round out the package.

Press release:

World Debut at the 2011 DUBAI INTERNATIONAL MOTOR SHOW
The World's Fastest and Most Powerful Luxury Coupe
BRABUS 800 Coupe with 800 hp, 1,420 Nm and 350-km/h Top Speed
800 hp (788 bhp) / 588 kW, 1,420 Nm (1,047 ft-lb) and a 350-km/h (217-mph) top speed: in the new BRABUS 800 Coupe based on the latest Mercedes CL 600 BRABUS (Brabus-Allee, D-46240 Bottrop, phone + 49 / (0) 2041 / 777-0, fax + 49 / (0) 2041 / 777 111, Internet www.brabus.com) celebrates the world debut of the world's fastest and most powerful luxury coupe at the 2011 DUBAI INTERNATIONAL MOTOR SHOW. In addition to its unique performance the two-door car's most impressive features are its exclusive sporty-elegant design and its high-class interior.
The 12-cylinder engine of the CL 600 is reengineered thoroughly in the BRABUS engine-building shop that is equipped with state-of-the-art machine tools. Displacement is increased from 5.5 to 6.3 liters (336 to 384 cu. in.) with the help of a special BRABUS crankshaft with longer stroke, larger cylinder bore and correspondingly larger forged pistons. Further performance-enhancing modifications to the engine itself are the fine-machining of the two cylinder heads for optimized mixture flow and the installation of four special camshafts.
The engine peripherals are modified extensively as well: the standard twin-turbo system is replaced with a high-end turbocharging system designed by the BRABUS engine specialists. The new system features two custom exhaust manifolds with integrated turbine housings and high-performance turbochargers as well as four water-to-air intercoolers. The combustion air is supplied by a carbon-fiber ram-air intake integrated into the hood. In addition there is a stainless-steel high-performance exhaust system with free-flow metal catalysts.
Precision-programmed mapping for injection and ignition coordinate the optimal interaction of the high-performance components in order to achieve not only maximum power yield but also to meet strict current EURO V emission limits. The high-tech lubricants for the entire powertrain are supplied by technology partner ARAL.
As a result of the extensive modifications the BRABUS 800 V12 Biturbo engine delivers unparalleled performance figures: the engine produces its maximum rated power output of 800 hp (788 bhp) / 588 kW at a low 5,500 rpm. Even more colossal is the peak torque of 1,420 Nm (1,047 ft-lb) available from 2,100 rpm. In the car peak torque is limited electronically to 1,100 Nm (811 ft-lb).
Power is transferred to the rear wheels via a five-speed automatic transmission that has been reinforced to handle the enormous power, and the BRABUS high-performance limited-slip differential with a locking rate of 40 percent. Naturally the BRABUS 800 Coupe retains all modern vehicle stability systems that can be deactivated at the push of a button.
This engine under the hood makes the BRABUS 800 Coupe the world's most powerful and fastest four-seat luxury coupe. From rest the exclusive two-door car sprints to 100 km/h (62 mph) in just 3.9 seconds and reaches 200 km/h (124 mph) after a mere 10.3 seconds. Top speed is electronically limited to 350 km/h (217 mph).
These extremely fast speeds place especially high demands on the aerodynamic-enhancement components that were developed in the wind tunnel. The sophisticated shape of the BRABUS front spoiler that attaches to the production fascia reduces lift on the front axle for further improved directional stability at high speed.
To achieve a precise aerodynamic balance BRABUS equips the CL with an understated rear spoiler on the trunk lid and a rear fascia insert. The insert replaces its production counterpart in the bumper and features a central reflector as well as one custom-tailored cutout on either side to provide the perfect backdrop for the four tailpipes of the BRABUS sport exhaust system.
Exciting design, top-notch quality and further improved driving dynamics are the outstanding characteristics of the BRABUS Monoblock wheels, which are available for the Mercedes CL-Class with diameters ranging from 18 to 22 inches. To make safe use of the car's impressive performance requires BRABUS Monoblock 21-inch wheels, available as Monoblock VI, E or F designs. BRABUS technology partners Continental, Pirelli and YOKOHAMA supply tried and tested high-performance tires in size 265/30 ZR 21 in front and size 295/25 ZR 21 on the rear axle.
The BRABUS ride-height lowering module for the standard ABC suspension is specifically calibrated to these ultra-low-profile tires, and lowers the body of the two-door car by some 25 millimeters (1 inch).
To keep the stunning performance safely in check at all times the BRABUS 800 Coupe comes equipped with version IV of the BRABUS high-performance brake system. The front axle is fitted with six-piston aluminum fixed calipers and vented and cross-drilled discs measuring 405 x 34 millimeters (16 x 1.3 in.). Together with discs measuring 380 x 34 millimeters (15.0 x 1.34 in.) and 4-piston fixed aluminum calipers on the rear axle the system delivers outstanding stopping power and endurance.
The interior received a high-class upgrade to match the car's diamond-white metallic paint finish. The BRABUS upholsterers masterfully crafted an interior from a combination of white leather and black Alcantara, each with contrasting seams and diamond-pattern topstitching. Carbon-fiber elements in the cockpit add a markedly sporty touch. Their matte surfaces in "checkered flag" design make them textbook eye-catchers.
An ergonomically shaped sport steering wheel is also part of the extraordinary BRABUS interior refinement as are scuff plates with backlit BRABUS logo, and aluminum pedals, foot rest and shifter.
The BRABUS 800 Coupe is available as a complete vehicle or can be built based on any current Mercedes CL 600 model.
