KLEEMANN CLS 50K S8 featuring the new aerodynamic bodykit for the CLS model range
KLEEMANN Tuning has created a most desirable car in the form of the new Mercedes CLS 50K S8. This beautifully styled four-door has the aesthetics of a coupe and the practicality of a saloon and in full trim it is powered by a V8 Kompressor engine, which generates an output of 404 kW / 595 Hp and 770 Nm of torque.
The power of the V8 engine is mainly due to the efficiency of the KLEEMANN Kompressor system. In addition the ECU of the CLS engine is reprogrammed and application specific Super Sport camshafts are fitted. To further improve the engines gas flow the 5.0 litre V8 is mounted with tubular headers in stainless steel and a complete dual stainless steel exhaust system utilizing four steel racing catalysts. As the finishing touch to it all, the KLEEMANN Tuning CLS 50K S8 exhaust system comes with two Trapezoid-shaped rear mufflers.
The engine conversion gives the car great performance and the KLEEMANN Limited Slip Differential (LSD) secures maximum wheel traction. The acceleration from standstill to 100 km/h is 4,7 seconds and 200 km/h is reached after just 13,5 seconds. The maximum speed is electronically limited to 300 km/h.
To meet the big performance potential of the KLEEMANN CLS 50K S8, KLEEMANN Tuning has developed various upgrades in terms of wheels, suspension and brakes.
Driving dynamics are enhanced by a KLEEMANN Tuning developed electronic body lowering module (EBL) for the standard AIRMATIC DC suspension. The EBL lowers the ride height by up to 35 millimetres. In addition to adding a stunning look to the car the lowered ride height and the firmer suspension provided by the KLEEMANN Suspension Tuning Module improves cornering agility by reducing body roll.
For the CLS 350 with conventional springs and dampers KLEEMANN Tuning provides a Speed Sensitive sports suspension with lower springs and progressive dampers.
The safety aspect is handled by the KLEEMANN high performance brake system, which is designed for maximum deceleration and high fading resistance. Fitted with the largest KB-3 KLEEMANN High Performance brake system the KLEEMANN CLS features 396 x 36 mm vented and cross-drilled two-piece brake discs with six piston forged callipers in the front, and 342 x 28 mm vented and cross-drilled two-piece brake discs with four piston forged callipers in the rear. All KLEEMANN Tuning brake systems come with separate left and right discs.
The KLEEMANN CLS 50K S8 comes with a choice between the classic two-piece TM-5 and the three-piece forged TS-6 light alloy wheel, which can be fitted to the car in sizes ranging from 18- to 20-inches in diameter. The largest possible combination is the KLEEMANN TS6 alloy wheel in size 9.5JX20 for the front axle with 255/30 ZR 20 tires, and 11X20 with 305/25 ZR 20 tires on the rear.
