VÄTH Turns up the Wick on the Mercedes-Benz CL500 Coupe

The Mercedes-Benz CL500 [C216] coupe is the latest car to drop into the hands of German tuning firm VÄTH. The company starts by squeezing more power out of the 5.5-liter V8 engine through the use of sport camshafts, custom stainless steel sport catalysts and air filters. Output is lifted from 388HP to 460HP and 600Nm, while VÄTH also removes the speed limiter allowing the modified CL500 to reach a top speed of 290km/h or 180mph. Read more »

Mercedes-Benz CL-Class AMG Converted into a Convertible!

Is there any type of model that the folks from California-based NCE won't whack the roof off? The answer to that question is probably no. If it's got four wheels and a fixed roof, the California-based company won't have any problem transforming it into a convertible. After the Dodge Challenger, Toyota Prius, Cadillac CTS, NCE has now chopped the roof off a Mercedes-Benz CL-Class AMG coupe. No word if it's the $150k CL63 AMG or the $200k+ CL65 AMG, but either way, the owner of the car must have a lot of 'ping-pongs' (and way too much play money) to dare such a conversion.
