MKB Mercedes 65/12 BT
The Mercedes CL65 AMG with its 603 horses is no wallflower. Yet where others see plenty of mean machine for the money, German tuner MKB sees an opportunity to create one of the fastest Benzes ever made. Thanks to bigger turbochargers with higher boost levels, bigger intercoolers, custom camshafts, a re-jiggered ECU, new air filters, delimiters and gearbox re-enforcements, the MKB version adds up to a bi-turbo V12 beast kicking out 751 hp at 5100 rpm and 1250 Nm of torque at 1900-4200 rpm. When the dust settles that means 0 -100 km/h in 4.1 seconds, with a top speed of over 350 km/h.
Whereas some tuners prefer to leave the engine alone and instead re-style a car, MKB is content to do the opposite; the 65/12 BT is virtually indistinguishable from the stock model – until you step on the gas, that is. The sharp-eyed observer might notice that the suspension has been lowered and new Pirelli 255/35 R 20 and 295/30 R 20 tires have also been fitted over black-out 20 inch MKB Alpha III alloy rims, but they’ll have to look pretty damn fast. The mods total out at around €50,000, with the lions share going to the performance package, Hell, cheap at twice the price for that kind of power.
