Filed under: Aftermarket , Tuners , Sedans/Saloons , Mercedes-Benz Click above for a high resolution image We usually try and reserve judgment when it comes to aftermarket styling packages. After all, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and different people prefer different styles. In this case, however, we have to take exception with this body kit from Wald. First the name - Black Bison Edition? We can understand the metaphor of a prancing horse or a raging bull, but this one just doesn't make sense. And the actual body kit? The massive rear wing on a Mercedes-Benz screams boy racer, and the excessive vents don't go very well with subtle German styling. The only redemption are the semi-attractive two-tone wheels. We'll have to pass on this one... Gallery: Wald C-Class Black Bison Edition [Source: eMercedesBenz.com ] Read | Permalink | Email this | Comments

Filed under: Aftermarket , Tuners , Sedans/Saloons , Mercedes Benz Click above for high-res gallery of the Väth V63RS There's no shortage of Mercedes-Benz tuners, and we're used to having news tips in our email box regarding BRABUS, Kleemann, Lorinser, Carlsson, etc. That's why we were curious when we received a tip about a company taht we'd never heard of called Väth. The German aftermarket company has products for the entire Mercedes-Benz lineup, the latest of which is the V63RS Clubsport based on the C63 AMG that you see here. Väth essentially leaves the exterior untouched and focuses on the performance including an upgrade of the V8 to 585 bhp and 509 lb-ft torque that will power the car to a top speed of 202 mph. Other upgrades available include a sport suspension, high performance brakes, 19-inch wheels, and sport seats. Complete cars are available at a hefty 125,000 Euros, although components can be purchased individually, as well. Just like the BRABUS...

Filed under: Aftermarket , Tuners , SUVs , Euro , Mercedes Benz click image to enlarge Carlsson has applied its tuning magic to the new M-Class with a host of power, visual, and interior upgrades. Starting with the engine, Carlsson's performance kit for the 320 CDI engine boosts horsepower to 269 and torque to 452 lb-ft, and a new exhaust system with quad tailpipes is also available. The suspension can be upgraded with Carlsson's C-Tronic system that lowers the vehicle 40mm, and 22" 11-spoke wheels help fill the wheel wells even more. A subtle front spoiler and a diffuser-look rear skirt are the only exterior modifications. Interior appointments include alcantara and leather seats, a sport steering wheel, aluminum pedals, and illuminated door exit lights. Once again, Carlsson proves that sometimes it doesn't take much to make a better Benz.

Filed under: Aftermarket , Tuners , Wagons/Estates , Mercedes Benz Carlsson, Meister tuners of Mercedes-Benz, have announced their tuning program for the new C-Class Estate. Their C-Tronic performance kit adds some punch to the available diesel diesel motors -- 34 horsepower for the 220 CDI engine, and a total of 42 horsepower for the 320 CDI engine. These upgrades also improve fuel economy and reduce emissions by ten-percent. For the 3.5-liter V6, Carlsson has its CK35 Performance Kit which increases horsepower to 295 and torque to 284 lb-ft. Body modifications are handsome and tasteful, and include a front and rear fascia, side skirts, and a subtle rear spoiler. If that seems a little boring, owners can always go with the polished grille, sport springs, and 11-spoke 19-inch wheels. Get Carlsson's official report from their press release after the jump.

Filed under: Aftermarket , Tuners , Supercars , Mercedes Benz , Misc. Auto Shows Click the image above for a gallery of high-res pics. Of all the products in Mercedes' stable that could benefit from a thorough tweaking, the McLaren SLR isn't one of them. But Brabus has built its name on taking things to the illogical extreme, and its modification of the new SLR Roadster is no different. Equipped with a new set of cams, exhaust and a system to cool the fuel, the blown V8 now produces an additional 23 HP that's sent through the stock transmission and down to a clutch-type LSD. 0-to-60 times drop down to 3.6 seconds and the top speed has been increased to 209 mph. A new carbon fiber front spoiler and rear diffuser, tuned by Brabus in the wind tunnel, reduces lift at speed, while the factory rolling stock has been ditched in favor of 9.5x20-inch wheels in front and 11.5x20-inch hoops in the rear. Inside, the Teutonic tuners offer well-to-do buyers nearly unlimited upholstery designs...
