Some might call Lake Constance-based Kicherer�s obsession with making Mercedes-Benz products go faster an unhealthy one. Of course, those people clearly fail to appreciate the pleasure that 900Nm of torque at one�s command can bring. Kicherer�s latest is the CL 60 Coupe, based on the Mercedes CL600 luxury coupe.
The twin-turbo V12 CL600 sits pretty at the top of the Mercedes two-door lineup, and Kicherer�s wizards have left the basic package alone. Under the skin, however, things are a bit more exciting. The V12�s power has been boosted from 517 to 570, with a corresponding increase in torque to 900Nm. A modified transmission control module and locking rear differential ensure that the additional power gets to the road in a relatively dignified fashion, and the chassis has been lowered by 25mm. The CL 60 Coupe also features unique 20-inch Kicherer RS-1 wheels. A body kit and carbon trim set the CL 60 apart from stock CL600s nicely.
