Friday, Mercedes tuner day. After the two-tone S-class by ART we have now laid our after market hands on Lorinser's new CLS L 55 RS, based on the recently facelifted Mercedes CLS 500 four-door coupe offers 72 more horsepower. The L 55 RS can boast about 460 hp (338 kW) and 585 Nm of torque versus the stock 388 hp (285 kW) and 530 Nm, all this power gives the 4-door coupe a 300 km/h top speed.

Of course Lorinser doesn't just leave at a power boost, the German tuning house has also developed some new aerodynamic accessories like a new front spoiler, side skirts and rear boot spoiler. The Lorinser's profile is supported by 20 inch Lorinser RS 6 light weight alloy wheels. The interior comes equipped with carbon detailing for the arm rests and center console.

Lorinser produces some of the ugliest body kits I have ever see. What are they thinking?

If you ask me, I'd just have the standard CLS 500. Fast, comfy and damn good looking all at the same time.

Guess you have to see Lorinser cars in person, I was never a fan until I saw one in L.A., one of the most beautiful SL's ive ever seen... And this CLS looks sexy as well
