Back to the Future: Lorinser Teases 2011 Mercedes-Benz CLS

No, Mercedes-Benz has yet to reveal the next-generation of its CLS sports sedan. The Germans may have [somewhat] previewed the new CLS through the Shooting BreakConcept, but the actual production model will most likely be unwrapped at this Fall's Paris Motor Show.

autoofcars2011.blogspottheless, Mercedes-Benz tuning specialists Lorinser has published a teaser drawing of the upcoming 2011 CLS all-dressed up in a sporty bodykit that includes a unique grille, hood scoops, modified bumper, chunky side skirts, fender vents and extended wheel arches that house 21-inch light-alloy wheels.

The company added that along with the styling kit seen on the teaser sketch, it is also preparing numerous performance upgrades for the new 2011 Mercedes-Benz CLS.

Lorinser Treats Mercedes-Benz E-Class Coupe with Acura-esque Beak

Take that you devilish Acura-grille haters; with or without knowing it, famous Mercedes-Benz tuner, Lorinser, has followed in the footsteps of Honda's luxury arm crafting a beak-like grille on the 2010 E-Class Coupe. The new radiator grille is part of Lorinser's most recent package for the two-door German model.

Acura beak aside, body changes include a redesigned front bumper with integrated LED daytime running lights, new side skirts, a trunk lid spoiler, a rear bumper with a diffuser and a four pipe exhaust system.

A roof-mounted spoiler and new alloy wheels available in various designs and sizes up to 20-inches plus a 30mm lowered suspension round off the exterior package.

For the interior, Lorinser's offerings include aluminum pedals, a revised instrument cluster with a scaling of up to 330 km/h, a special floor mat set with leather lining and embroidered Lorinser emblem as well as illuminated door sills.

The German tuner said that it is currently working on several performance packages with more details to be released at a later date.

Lorinser Presents Two Design Studies for Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Gullwing

It's only been a week since Mercedes-Benz showed the kinky SLS AMG to the public for the first time in Frankfurt, but the tuning industry is already working on the development of various cosmetic and performance packages for the gullwing-supercar. One of the first tuners to release details for its SLS AMG plans is Lorinser. The Mercedes-Benz specialist published teaser renderings of two different styling packages that the company is currently considering for production.

The first design study is more in line with Lorinser's usual offerings. The somewhat aggressive aero kit includes an unpainted carbon-fiber hood, a front-apron with a pair of lights on each side, a new grille with the firm's family crest replacing Merc's three-point star (yes, we could all live without that) and side skirts.

The retro-inspired wire-spoke alloy wheels that appear to look pretty cool and fender eyebrows that hark back to the original 300SL along with various other carbon-fiber tidbits complete the package.

The second proposal, which looks better in our books, takes a more subtle approach paying homage to the original Gullwing model with fender eyebrows, twin humps on the hood and double air-vents on the sides. There's also a new front apron and different side skirts as well as wire-spoke alloy wheels.

Lorinser said that it has yet to decide if it will go ahead and produce a small-batch of either of the two studies.

The external package consists of a retrimmed bumpers, side sills and a roof spoiler. Furthermore, there's a new rear apron that integrates a diffuser and larger quad exhaust tips.

The compact SUV's looks can be completed by a set of beefier wheels such the multispoke R8 alloys on the GLK shown in these photos. According to the German tuner, there are various alloy designs available for the GLK.

Lorinser's Stealthily Tuned 2010 Mercedes E-Class Sedan

Finally, a tuning proposal that our taste buds can relate to - the new Lorinser-prepped 2010 Mercedes-Benz E-Class sedan. The German tuning firm has taken well care of the new E-Class sedan's body and engine with a series of modifications that include the sharp looking bodykit that consists of new bumpers, side skirts, a new front grille, discreet boot lid and roof spoilers, dark headlamp covers and a pair of fender "gills". The cars looks are rounded off with a set of five-spoke alloy wheels.

For now, Lorinser has turned its focus on the E500 which gets a power kit that increases the 5.5-liter V8 engine's output from 388HP to 435HP while maximum torque has been raised from 530Nm to 570Nm. The Lorinser E500 also does away with the electronic speed limiter allowing the German premium sedan to reach a top speed of 280km/h or 174MPH.

Other mechanical upgrades include a new lowered sports suspension that promises to further improve the E500 sedan's handling.
