Brabus W216 Cl

Got the BRABUS aerodynamic kit finished, and unfortunately BRABUS hasnt finished many tuning options for the W216 CL model. But until they release the headers, ecu, etc we're in a holding pattern, but at least the car will look good. I like the BRABUS kit over the other kits for the CL, but Id like to know what other people think. Take a look, and let me know. But if I had to use 1 word to describe this car, my word would be sexy, this car is just sexy. Joshua.

99597 looks best. Sexy is the right word.

This got to be a mega-buck vehicle. To be honest I would do the reverse first (add power) before the appearance kit. Now everyone wants to race and you only have a mere 604 horses to work with.

Have you look at Carlsson for extra power?

CL Power

I have looked at the Carlsson options and the BRABUS options. As far as I know, KLEEMANN hasnt come up with anything yet. BRABUS has a B8 Tuning package for the S550, and they are supposed to be able to use the same things on the CL model, but as of now there are no performance tuning modifications for the V8 model CL. I was at SEMA and went to the unveiling of the Carlsson CL CK60. The car is nice, I really like the exhuast, the tips are huge 110mm per pipe, times 4 pipes. Well anyways, the Carlsson exhaust is pretty sweet. I havent really looked into their tuing yet though. Thanks for the note.

I am jealous. The CL is too rich for me. When I have the money I shall buy a E-63.

Is your car a V-8? I thought the CL comes with a V-12 bi-turbo only.
