German tuner Lorinser has released details about their plans for the Geneva Auto Show, where they will introduce the Nardo3 and the C-Class T-Model.

The C-Class T-Model is based off of Mercedes’ C320 T CDI and comes with a special Lorinser diesel module, tuned to deliver 192 kW/261hp instead of the 164 kW/224hp delivered by the standard model. It also features an aerodynamic styling package and 19-inch wheels.

Using the Mercedes SL as a platform, the Nardo3 pushes the biturbo V12 to create 485 kW/660hp and 1013 Nm of torque. Top speed is limited to 325hm/h to prevent damage to the transmission. Exterior differences include a new rear bumper with integrated exhaust, unique wheels, extended side skirts, modified side vents, and a new front end. Production will be limited to 50 copies.

A SL Mercedes, does not need a body kit.This body kit, looks ugly, tacky, and ehtnic,and I feel that it cheapens the overall car, even though, these kits are any thing but cheap.Ugly ,Ugly , Ugly etc.

T0 nickop: thankyou for agreeing with my thoughts, but one question, It may be a generational thing but what does "look raw" mean?

Well, especially this body-kit is, I think, absolutely adoreable! Lorinser really makes the best body-modifications for Mercedes-Benz vehicles!

To create Oreo chocolate chip ice cream, they add chocolate chips and crushed Oreo cookies to vanilla ice cream. What they've done here was make a quintuple chocolate fudge ice cream and served it between slabs of beef. The amount of chocolate is absurd, and the packaging is ridiculous. This metaphor falls apart when I try to include the stupidity of limiting the top speed on account of component limits. (These products should find a means of circumnavigating such limits.)

This Lorinser kit and engine upgrade is pretty unimpressive considering Brabus has already wrung 738hp and 1000lb/ft of torque from the MB 6.0L V12. And Brabus body kits and wheels actually accentuate the lines of a Mercedes-Benz. The Lorinser body kit looks cheap and cheesy.

I think it would be very interesting to hear if Lorinser checks this site for comments. this body kit and mods are overkill and Ugly.I bet the cost of the body kit installed is over 10K and thats to much to pay for cheep, cheeesy,screams I have no taste ethnicity, just ugly. I promise my last words on this subject.
