KW Tuning is now offering height-adjustable spring kits for Mercedes-Benz CLS 63 AMG Coupe and Shooting Brake. Unlike the normal lowering kits, the ride height can be adjusted to suit the driver’s needs. Of course, the spring kits are TUV certified.
The front axle can be lowered up to 40 mm and the rear axle by 35 mm. The new suspension can be installed quickly and easily. In every workshop or tire dealer, the technicians can replace the standard springs with KW springs.
“While regular lowering springs only allow a fixed lowering of 30, 40 or 50 millimeters, the KW coilover springs can be lowered individually”, said KW Product Manager Johannes Wacker.
“The driver has the option to drive his car with any level of lowering he likes within the adjustment range. Plus, when changing wheels and tyres, he has the option to adjust the ride height to suit the new setup. With conventional springs this would not be possible.”, he added.
The coilover springs can be individually adjusted between 20 and 40 mm at the front axle. The level of lowering at the rear axle is between 15 and 35 mm.
The height-adjustable KW springs a with German TÜV certificate are also available for the Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG 4MATIC.

To further optimize directional stability well into the regions beyond 300 km/h (187 mph), the BRABUS designers went into the wind tunnel to develop a front spoiler for both body styles of the CLS 63 AMG. The aerodynamic-enhancement component attaches to the underside of the front fascia and reduces lift on the front axle.
All components are manufactured from especially light yet high-strength genuine carbon fibers for a full-blooded racing look, and are available with a matt or high-gloss surface finish.
The exclusive BRABUS appearance for the new CLS 63 AMG is also in part courtesy of the BRABUS Monoblock wheels with diameters of 19” and 20”. The latest innovation in the BRABUS wheel family is the BRABUS Monoblock R “Platinum Edition” forged wheel that combines lightweight construction and maximum strength.
The largest tires supplied by BRABUS technology partners Continental, Pirelli and YOKOHAMA for the 20” alloys come in size 255/30 ZR 20 for the 9J x 20” wheels on the front axle and in size 295/25 ZR 20 for the 10.5J x 20” wheels in the rear.

The lineup for the CLS 63 AMG ranges from attractive accessories to custom-tailored interiors crafted from especially soft, breathable and yet highly durable BRABUS Mastik leather and Alcantara.
Scuff plates with backlit BRABUS logo, a speedometer with 400-km/h dial (250 mph) and rear-seat tables attached to the backs of the front seats add custom highlights as do the markedly sporty aluminum components such as pedal pads, door lock pins and shift paddles for the steering wheel.
Also available for the top-of-the-line CLS model is a custom-tailored BRABUS multimedia concept – including optional Apple iPad integration.
German based tuning company – GAD has released some pictures and information about their latest project based on Mercedes-Benz CLS 63 AMG.
The CLS 63 AMG is powered by a 5.5 liter direct-injected V8 with 518HP (381 kW) and 700Nm (516 lb-ft). It is connected to a 7-speed MCT (multi-clutch technology) sport gearbox. If fitted with the AMG Performance Package, the performance is improved to 550HP (405 kW) and 800Nm (590 lb-ft).
Obviously this is not enough, that’s why GAD boosted the mighty Bi-turbo V8 to whopping 803HP (590 kW) and 1149Nm (847 lb-ft) of torque.
The results are thanks to a pair of new bigger turbochargers, a new custom exhaust manifold with downpipe and sport catalyst, bigger intercoolers, updated fuel and ignition systems and finally attentive settings.
Kicherer has announced their latest project – Mercedes CLS 63 AMG Yachting Edition. The super luxurious Mercedes has not only unique design, but it is also extremely fast. It comes with both styling and performance upgrades.
The exterior boasts a nice Star Graphite paint featuring carbon fiber accents – front splitter, rear diffuser and trunk lid spoiler.
The CLS 63 AMG Yachting Edition rolls a set of enormous 20” and 21” alloy wheels fitted with ultra-low profile run-of-flat tires.
The interior boasts a new premium leather upholstery, a sports Alcantara-wrapped steering wheel and cool contrast stiches.
The engine is the new well-known 5.5 liter twin-turbocharged V8 with 625HP (460 kW) and 860Nm (634 lb-ft). This is a boost of 100HP (74 kW) and 160Nm (118 lb-ft) over the factory power. 0-100 km/h in around 4 seconds and a top speed of 300 km/h (186 mph).
Other interesting upgrades, which Kicherer has installed are a suspension lowering module dropping the ride height for better stance and handling. A new high-performance brake system and a LSD (limited-slip differential) for maximum traction and fun.
This is more like it. It’s a Mercedes-Benz CLS63 AMG redone by SR Auto. Despite being the Canadian company’s initiative, this “Black Bison” is all Wald. It’s called the Project Maximus and incorporates a conversion kit and some wheels.
The Wald kit makes do with an aggressive front bumper with arched intake vents that have LED DRL integrated in them. The paint job on it is a two tone scheme for better contrast. The two front fenders also bare that tone scheme and so do the side skirts. Further back, there’s a Wald Black Bison trunk spoiler and a Wald Black Bison rear bumper that has specially made exhaust tips sticking out of it.
The cherry (or rather cherries) on top are the four 20-inch Wald Renovatio wheels that come finished in chrome and with silver coating on the windows of the spokes.
The Mercedes-Benz CLS63 AMG hides a 5.5-liter V8 engine that thrusts out 518 hp towards the back wheels. 700 Nm of torque have to be processed by the 7-speed automatic gearbox in such a way that the zero to sixty acceleration is done in no more than 4.4 seconds. With that kind of performance, those new features better be bolted properly or one might lose them on the highway.

The automobile manufacturer Carlsson uses the stylish shapes of the new generation of Mercedes-Benz CLS models (type C 218) to underline the vehicle’s elegance and sportiness. At the top of the line is the Carlsson CK63 RS based on the Mercedes-Benz CLS 63 AMG with Performance Package which will have its world premiere at the Frankfurt Motor Show 2011.
Carlsson incorporates coupé-style contours and lends the vehicle’s exterior a touch of sophistication with the comprehensive aerodynamic package. The new front spoiler and the front spoiler lip RS made of carbon fibre ensure an athletic look for the luxurious saloon, a look which is underscored further by the black painted stainless steel grille inserts.
The discreet spoiler on the trunk lid and the rear skirt insert with its rear diffuser RS made of carbon fibre ensure extra downforce and more stable road holding even at high speeds. The performance figures are also impressive: Optimized by Carlsson, the engine of the CLS 63 AMG with Performance Package under the long bonnet now produces 649 hp (477 kW) and 900 Nm of torque, compared to the original 557 hp (410 kW) and 800 Nm. This allows the Carlsson CK63 RS to reduce the time for the sprint from 0 to 100 kph from 4,3 to 4,1 seconds.
Carlsson CK63 RS
Finally, the Carlsson stainless steel sport exhaust system with 4 oval end pipes gives the CK63 RS a distinctive sound. Also for smaller diesel and gasoline engines, Carlsson offers technically sophisticated performance kits with the general Carlsson 3 year guarantee. The performance kit CK50 for the CLS 500 for instance raises the output of the engine from 408 hp (300 kW) and 600 Nm of torque to 475 hp (349 kW) and 687 Nm.
The vehicle’s light alloy wheels 1/10 which are available in up to 20 inch also emphasise the sporty yet stylish contours of the new aerodynamics package. By combining five single and five double spokes, the automobile manufacturer from Merzig in Germany is setting a design trend. Thanks to an elaborate manufacturing process, the forged wheel 1/10 Ultra Light generates a weight advantage of 40 percent compared to the original wheels. This allows Carlsson to attain more strength and a distinctly improved rolling quality at the same time. The 1/10 design is also available as casted wheels in three different colour variants: Brilliant Edition, Graphite Edition and Titanium Edition.
The Carlsson suspension with two sport springs lowers the CLS by 30mm at the front axle and thus allows an even more agile drivability. Carlsson’s patented C-Tronic® SUSPENSION is responsible for delivering excellent road holding for vehicles with the standard AIRMATIC suspension. This intelligent suspension lowering system drops the vehicle by up to 30 millimetres and continuously monitors the situation of the road. Depending on the road conditions, the controlling device adapts the residual spring travel every 150 milliseconds, thus ensuring optimum comfort and excellent driving dynamics with an appealing look. The C-Tronic® SUSPENSION switches to serial conditions when the speed drops under 20 kph as the original suspension adjustment will already lower the vehicle.
The vehicle’s refinement reaches its peak in the interior. The automobile manufacturer cultivates traditional craftsmanship by using finest materials such as leather, exclusive Alcantara, carbon fibre, best root wood and several other exclusive natural materials. The selections of the materials and the excellent workmanship attest the uncompromising quality requirements of Carlsson’s own upholstery. The CK63 RS experienced a Carlsson interior refinement at the top of the line. The seats and door panels as well as the rear seat bench have been covered in Mokka brown Carlsson NAPPA EXCLUSIVE leather. Thanks to its thickness of 1 to 1,4 millimetres, this pigmented leather is particularly resistant while still providing the feel of a soft leather glove. The extensive tanning process guarantees that the leather skins’ pores remain intact and thus prevent heat accumulation. In the winter, too, this particular natural material immediately adapts to the individual body temperature.
The same high quality and attention to detail is reflected by the carbon inlays in dark brown/matte which can be found among others in the dashboard, the door panels and the centre console. Other high quality parts like the illuminated door sill panels, soft velour floor mats featuring the Carlsson logo and door pins made of brushed aluminium further contribute to the stylish appearance of the CLS’ interior.
The number of variants is unlimited: The saddlery’s applications range from different forms and kinds of perforation over individual colours of desired leather skins to the combination of various materials like leather and Alcantara with corresponding stitching and piping.
Exclusively Central European raw materials of German production are used for all Carlsson NAPPA products. Carlsson also assumes responsibility in matters of environmental protection: the water used during the manufacturing process leaves the German tannery in drinking water quality.
With its comprehensive finishing package for the CLS model, Carlsson has once more proven its refined sense of taste when it comes to Mercedes design. Thanks to its efforts, the already stylish standard CLS63 AMG has turned into a unique individualist.
The new CLS 63 AMG was officially unveiled at the Los Angeles Auto Show.
The car is slightly modified compared to the ordinary CLS and features a new hood, modified bumpers, a revised grille, and unique front fenders. It also has an aggressive rear diffuser, a four-tailpipe exhaust system, LED daytime running lights and 19″ five-spoke alloy wheels.
The interior boasts burl walnut trim, but there is an option for piano black and carbon fiber trim, AMG sports seats, and a three-spoke steering wheel with aluminum shift paddles for the gearbox. (more…)
