Out Of Control!
From Kleemann Newsletter:
The car is powered by the well known 5.0 litre V8 Kompressor engine which in full KLEEMANN trim puts out 595 Hp @ 5800 rpm and 770Nm of torque @ 2000 rpm.
The power upgrade, consisting of the KLEEMANN Kompressor, a reprogrammed ECU, tubular exhaust headers and Super Sport camshafts, is also available for the V6 powered cars thus a KLEEMANN CC can be based on an E240T of E320T as well as the E500.
So my question is if that 5.0 with all the Kleemann trimings puts out 595Hp how much HP would a 5.5 (with all the kleemann trimings as well) liter put out?

OT: Kleeman SUV alternative
KLEEMANN E50KCC
Active leisure time with 595 Horsepower and four wheel drive
The KLEEMANN E50KCC is the perfect car for people wanting something other than a regular SUV but who still appreciate 4-wheel drive and extended ground clearance in some situations. In addition, the KLEEMANN E50KCC offers performance at a level only very few SUVs are able to match. Top speed is limited to 250 km/h and the car accelerates from 0 -100 km/h in less than five seconds.
The KLEEMANN E50KCC is based on the Mercedes-Benz E500T 4-Matic but the conversion can be carried out on any E-Class T-model.
Ride height is increased by 50 mm without compromising driving dynamics
To increase ride height of the car, KLEEMANN engineers have developed special modifications that offset the whole chassis 30 mm up from the suspension and drivetrain.
In other words, this technical solution allows the engine and gearbox to stay where originally placed while the AirMatic suspension continues to work as on the standard car.
Together with a new wheel package, the offsetting of the chassis results in a ride height increase of a total of 50 mm while the center of gravity is kept nearly as low as on the standard car.
Ground clearance alone is increased by 20 mm.
The wheels and tires have been selected to ensure that comfortable and quick everyday driving is maintained while also making the car capable of light off road driving or driving in snowy and slippery conditions.
255/45-ZR 18 TOYO Proxes tires are fitted on 18 inch alloy wheels large enough to make provisions for the KLEEMANN KB4 High Performance Brake system.
The Exterior redefined
To match the performance and image of the E50KCC, KLEEMANN has redesigned the exterior of the elegant estate significantly.
The exterior modifications are more than enhancement parts fitted to the body; they are a complete redesign of the whole lower part of the car including the wheel arches, giving the car a muscular look and strong road presence.
The front and rear skirt, with built-in undercarriage protection in stainless steel, are connected by a bold side skirt and wide wheel arch flares. All together it gives the E50KCC a stern yet sporty look emphasized by polished aluminium roof rails.
As always the rear skirt makes provisions for the trapezoid KLEEMANN exhaust pipes.
The Power Package
The car is powered by the well known 5.0 litre V8 Kompressor engine which in full KLEEMANN trim puts out 595 Hp @ 5800 rpm and 770Nm of torque @ 2000 rpm.
The power upgrade, consisting of the KLEEMANN Kompressor, a reprogrammed ECU, tubular exhaust headers and Super Sport camshafts, is also available for the V6 powered cars thus a KLEEMANN CC can be based on an E240T of E320T as well as the E500.

Don't GAG Yet !!
Lets be a little creative here! With the Motor mods in place, just don't raise the ride height - instead lower it, use different wheels & tires, and do not use the Kleeman body parts - instead use an E55 front bumper. Now you have basically a 4-wheel drive after market E55 Wagon, lots of traction and lots of acceleration with good handling. Sounds great to me.

- Bob on the other hand, that atrocity pictured in this thread looks about as bad as anything i've seen: cross a 70s/80s jeep eagle with a volvo xc70 (the black-plastic-flared raised ug-wagon), add a hyper-tuned engine (so what, if the car's that ugly) and you've got what's in the picture. blecch!
don't forget, one of the nicer parts of the e55 is the interior. especially from the standpoint of the driver. thus, even trimmed out like y'all are talking about, the tastey seating would be missing from the equation (although the black wood and metal-look instrument panel can be had as part of an appearance pkg, i think)...

4 wheels
Give me that drivetrain in a E55 Wagon and you have a buyer. I want the looks of the E55 wagon and this drivetrain for the love of god. I know Kleemann can do it, why they wont, I have no clue?

The front lower bumper fascia looks like ugly fat lips! 
Sorry, but I'll pass this one even if it had 888HP!
