MKB Pushes the Mercedes CL65 AMG to 750hp!


 Mercedes CL65 AMG

German tuner, MKB, is basing its new package on the twin-turbocharged CL65 AMG Coupe; however, most of the modifications can be applied to any model in the CL lineup including the base CL500/550. Called the MKB 65/12 BT, the new package adds several subtle styling mods as well as a range of engine, wheel and tire upgrades.

The most powerful engine package will push the 517hp (385kW) CL65 to a grin-inducing 750hp (560kW) with 922lb-ft (1,250Nm) of torque.

Other upgrades will include a high-performance rear axle equipped with a differential lock and a modified transmission control module.

Also, featured are handcrafted 20in MKB Alpha III wheels, wrapped with 255mm tires up front and 295mm tires in the rear. The car's suspension has also been lowered by 25mm and has been beefed up with stiffer springs and dampers. MKG has also added many exterior upgrades including a modified grill and integrated rear diffuser.

This beast boasts a 0-100km/h (62mph) time of 4.1 seconds and a top speed in excess of 350km/h (217mph). MKB has not released any info on prices or the availability of the packages, yet.
