Lorinser CL @ SEMA...

Did anyone see the new Lorinser CL that was on display at the SEMA show 2 weeks ago? It was truly one of the most beautiful cars I've ever seen! I'll post pics later today!

Lorinser

My local MB dealer here had some Lorinser vehciles on display a few months back. I really don't know if I'm a fan of their body kits however. All the slits and slots not to mention that roof wing looks a bit tacky to me.

The performance side of their modifications are impressive indeed however.

OMG

What did someone do to that poor CL ? They should be hung !!!! I guess to each their own taste..


I'd be interested to hear what others think though... I think they went a bit over the top for my style. I could probably live with the body kit minus the ultra ugly grill, roof wing, wheels, and front quarter panel vents. The vents do looks sort of trick, but they are a 'bit' much.

I agree the grill is not for me, but I do like the front fenders (a la new SL) and that rear bumper and exhaust looks wicked.

S63 AMG Coupe 2020
Angry CL LORINSER

Far too much modifications in my opinion. The CL coupe is not really a sport car as such, but more a comfortable Coupe with nice balanced setup. The way it looks if too flashy !

Once more just my feeling !:o

I think the fenders are the nicest part.

The rims are pretty nice too.

Sorry to disagree, but that thing is atrocious. I would never do anything to the styling of the CL. That's almost sacrilege.

That's what I thought too, I was starting to feel like something was wrong with my taste... Most everyone else thinks it is the best looking thing on the market. I thought it was ugly as hell....

I guess different likes and styles is what keeps this world alive... Just glad I'm not the only one out there that doesn't like that kit.

I think that car is horrible too! The CL is such an elegant design and they have ruined it - no balance or proportion. It reminds me of a 70's Japanese car.

Possibly do the wheels, the rest is just a shame.
