German tuner Brabus has put together a kit for the 2007 Mercedes CL-Class coupe. Displacement of the CL 600′s 5.5-liter V12 is increased to 6.3 liters thanks to a reworked engine block. The powerplant is fitted with a special crankshaft with longer stroke, and with larger, forged pistons. Output is increased to 730 horsepower at 5,100 rpm, and torque peaks to 811 pound-feet at 2,100 rpm (de-tuned from the maximum potential 974 pound-feet). All this means the car accelerates to 62 mph in just 4.0 seconds, and 124 mph in 11.9 seconds. Engine upgrades are also available for the CL 500, boosting output to 462 horsepower (6,200 rpm) and 454 pound-feet of torque (3,100 rpm). Both cars are fitted with 12-piston brakes, aerodynamics enhancements, new front and rear fascias, and custom wheels. Gallery after the jump…
