Lorinser S70 6.0 V12 Bi-Turbo


Possibly one of the most powerful S-Class vehicles on the planet, Lorinser has released new details about their S70 6.0 V12 Bi-Turbo. Based on the Mercedes S600, the model is equipped with an aerodynamic body kit that includes new bumpers, revised side skirts and ventilated fenders. There's also a roof-mounted spoiler, a rear diffuser and 20-inch alloy wheels with Yokohama Advan Sport tires.
Interior changes are limited, but include custom upholstered Nappa leather and wood in piano black lacquer in addition to Lorinser crests found on the head rests, seats, steering wheel and the revised instrument cluster.
Power comes from a 6.0-liter V12 (M275) engine that has been equipped with new camshafts, larger turbochargers, a revised ECU and a sports exhaust system. Thanks to these modifications, the engine produces 805 PS (592 kW / 794 hp) and 1270 Nm (936 lb-ft) of torque. It enables the car to hit an electronically-limited top speed of 300 km/h (186 mph) or 330 km/h (205 mph) upon request.




Mercedes S-Class tuned by Carlsson

Carlsson has introduced a new tuning package for the Mercedes S-Class (W221).

On the design front, the car is outfitted with a new front bumper, aerodynamic side skirts, a revised rear apron and a trunk-mounted spoiler. There's also a suspension lowering module (which reduces the ride height by up 30mm) and 20-inch alloy wheels with high-performance Dunlop tires.

Under the hood, the twin-turbo 5.5-liter V12 is equipped with a revised ECU, a high-flow air filter and a stainless steel sport exhaust system. Thanks to these tweaks, the engine produces 600 PS (441 kW / 591 hp) and an electronically-limited 1024 Nm (755 lb-ft) of torque. This enables the car to accelerate from 0-100 km/h in 4.3 seconds and hit a top speed of 320 km/h (199 mph).

New styling kit for Mercedes E- & S-Class by Brabus

Brabus has unveiled a new tuning program for the Mercedes E- and S-Class AMG.

On the design front, both models have a revised styling package with a front lip spoiler, a rear diffuser and a trunk-mounted spoiler. There's also a carbon fiber version which includes all the aforementioned components as well as a stainless-steel sport exhaust system with two different modes.

Other options include sport front fenders, a bespoke interior and various wheels in sizes up to 20 inches. Of course, customers can also order engine upgrades for the 5.5- and 6.3-liter V8.

Mercedes-Benz S-Class by Inden Design


German tuner Inden Design has a package that aims to bring the (W221) Mercedes-Benz S500 closer to an S65 AMG, at least in terms of looks.

The tuning package begins on the outside with a new front spoiler, side sills and a rear diffuser with integrated quad exhaust pipes. Daytime running lights are also added while taillights and side mirrors get their own touches too. The S500 gets coated in a charcoal-gray matte film for that unique flush look.

For the engine tuning, there's a power upgrade to 420 PS (309 kW / 414 bhp) up from the series' 388 PS (285 kW / 383 bhp) on the 5.5 liter V8. That comes in part due to the new stainless-steel exhaust system with AMG pipes.

Brakes are upgraded to those found on the S600 V12 BiTurbo with 6-piston calipers for the front wheels and 4-piston brake calipers to keep the rear axle in check.

Suspension lowering of 50 mm also takes place and helps highlight the new 20-inch wheels with 265/30-20 tires at the front and 275/30-20 tires for the rear rims.

For the cabin Inden Design has a two-tone leather and Alcantara finish for the headliner, door panels and all three pillars along with carbon inserts replacing the former wood trims. A new speedometer now reads up to 360 km/h.

Mercedes S 350 BlueTec by BRABUS


Mercedes-Benz tuner Brabus has announced the world's first performance tuned vehicle that meets the new EURO VI exhaust emission standard which goes into effect 2014.

Essentially a plug-and-play control unit, the BRABUS ECO PowerXtra D6S module achieves an increase in power output of 55 PS (54 bhp / 40.5 kW) to 313 PS (308 bhp / 230 kW) while peak torque goes from 620 Nm to 690 Nm (457 to 509 lb-ft) when installed in a Mercedes-Benz S 350 BlueTEC. That's a fair amount of extra power for a plug-and-play device while under cutting EURO VI limits by 30 percent.

The BRABUS ECO PowerXtra D6S kit comes with a unique feature allowing it to be turned on and off. Via the 7G-TRONIC PLUS automatic transmission the performance output remains unchanged at 258 PS (255 bhp / 190 kW) when the 'Eco' mode is engaged. However, when the 'Manual' or 'Sport' mode is selected maximum power output increases to 313 PS (308 bhp / 230 kW) at 3,600 rpm. In this configuration the tuned S 350 sprints from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in just 6.5 seconds, half a second faster than the production car. Top speed remains electronically limited to 250 km/h (155 mph).

Special versions of the BRABUS ECO PowerXtra D6S performance kit are also available for the S 350 BlueTEC 4Matic, all four body styles of the Mercedes E 350 CDI BlueEFFICIENCY model and for the new CLS 350 CDI BlueEFFICIENCY.
