In typical Brabus tradition, the power of the V8 5.5-liter bi-turbo engine has been increased to 620 HP (456 kW), up from the standard 544 HP (400 kW). In addition, the torque figure is also up by 40 Nm (29 lb-ft) to 800 Nm (590 lb-ft). Aside from the healthy power boost, Brabus installed a new set of huge 23-inch, twin-spoke alloy wheels and painted the brake calipers in yellow.

GAD CLS 63 AMG V8 Bi-Turbo

German tuner GAD has released an upgrade program for the Mercedes-Benz CLS 63 AMG. The most powerful CLS 63 AMG is the one fitted with the optional AMG Performance Package that lifts output to 558 HP (410 kW) and 799 Nm (590 lb-ft) of torque. If this isn’t enough, GAD can increase the engine output to an impressive 803 HP (590 kW) and 1149 Nm (847 lb-ft). To provide the additional horsepower they had to enlarge the turbochargers by 30 percent, install a new custom exhaust manifold with downpipe and sport catalyst. In addition, an optimized intercooler and updated fuel and ignition systems are also part of the package. GAD also mentions a higher top speed without mentioning a figure, but at least we know that it’s more than the 186 mph (299 km/h) achieved by the AMG Performance Package-fitted model.

Kicherer Supersport GT

Kicherer has unveiled their new Supercharged GT. Based on the Mercedes SLS AMG, the model has a supercharged 6.3-liter V8 engine that develops approximately 700 bhp (522 kW) and 840 Nm (619 lb-ft) of torque.

Press release:

Inconspicuously conspicuous!
The world of beautiful and rich people is as fascinating as the popular documentary soap "Die Geissens" - a reality show aired on television every week. Wherever money rules, it is not unusual to pick cars from
the shelf since cars in this case are the perfect status symbol. Bentley Continental, Rolls-Royce Phantom, Maserati Grand Turismo or even Mercedes-Benz CLS63 AMG, you name it: only absolute High-End- Products of the automobile value-creation chain are permitted a space in the domestic garage.
Stealth version à la German Special Customs!
Finishing specialists of the German Special Customs offer a completely newly developed aerodynamic assembly kit with the designation "Stealth" for the current CLS63 AMG generation. Without any impact on the sportive and elegant bodywork lines of the AMG version, they nestled all additional accessories into the outer casing like a second skin. The front looks clearly broader and much more aggressive thanks to a new bumper with an integrated LED daytime running light. The black radiator grill was fitted with the exclusive coat of arms of the German Special Customs as its emblem. A new engine hood with broad shaft ensures appropriate discharge of hot air from the housing of the 5.5 liter V8 Biturbo. The optical broadness is additionally accentuated by a set of new mud guards and new side skirts with shaft.
Like the front side, the rear also looks more aggressive than in the serially produced version because the designers of German Special Customs built a completely new bumper with integrated carbon fiber
diffuser and air outlets on the sides. A four-pipe sportive exhaust system made of high-grade steel with angular end-pipes was integrated in the diffuser.
A clear message: 750 HP & 1.150 Nm!
In addition to the perfectly showcased new aerodynamic components, the GSC CLS63 AMG was also given a special performance package. In the aftermath of laborious efforts, technicians were thus able to
create a remarkable 750 Horse Power (proven on test platform) and a maximum torque of 1,150 Nm from the 5.5 liter engine displacement of the V8 Biturbo. In contrast to the serially produced version of the CLS63 AMG, this makes up after all, an additional performance power of 225 HP!!! To achieve this immense power boost, the technicians gave the V8 Biturbo an additional water cooler for the charge air intercooler in addition to a set of bigger turbo-chargers as well as an exhaust system, which runs backwards from the chargers. The GSC CLS63 AMG is able to achieve the classical sprint from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.7 seconds thanks to this brute power and attains a maximum speed of almost 350 km/h. To convert the power into propulsion without any major loss of traction, another set of elegant 20-inch rims was provided in addition to a KW coilover with adjustable suspensions on the front axle. The GSC
rims on the front axle thus rotate in 8.5x20 inches with a 255/30R20 Continental tire and on the rear, in 10x20 inches with 295/25R20.
Conclusion: This cannot be said to be a stealth technology. Any stealth conversion of this CLS63 AMG will be anything else but unnoticed. The CLS couldn't be more potently designed! You might get the impression it could be a fictitious Black Series version. The brute power of 750 HP or the perfectly adapted aerodynamic components, you name it: the GSC CLS63 AMG is simply a masterstroke in every aspect!

Mansory Mercedes-Benz CLS 63 AMG

Overshadowed by two high profile debuts, the MP4-12C and Aventador, from the house of Mansory, the Mercedes-Benz CLS63 AMG was somewhat neglected by the world's media. Better late than never, we have the full details and photos for you.

The carbon-fiber obsessed firm from Brand, Germany starts with a wide body kit which expands the front and rear wings by 50mm and 80 mm respectively and also includes new side sill and cladding. With the newly designed hood in place, the appearance of carbon fiber covers almost all surfaces when viewing the vehicle from the front. At the rear, a new rear bumper fascia is defined by a dramatic diffuser that Mansory says increases the vehicle's downforce in cooperation with the rear spoiler. The wide body CLS's look is finished off with 20-inch ultralight forged wheels with 265/30ZR20 tires at the front and 305/25ZR20 tires at the rear.

Under the hood with its 5.5-liter twin-turbo V8 which produces in standard form 557 PS (410 kW / 550 hp) and 799 Nm (590 lb-ft) of torque, Mansory managed to squeeze out a total of 640 PS (471 kW / 631 bhp) and 900 Nm (664 lb-ft) of torque at 2,000 to 4,500 rpm. This increase in power is the result of a newly programmed control unit as well as a sports air filter.

No Mansory tuned vehicle is complete without a customized interior. Aluminum pedals and footrests supplement the elaborately designed full-leather upholstery, along with deluxe entry sills and floor mats with custom embroidery. Carbon fiber trim pieces are found on the dashboard and center console while the sports steering wheel features newly designed ergonomics.
