Kicherer Tunes the 2010 Mercedes-Benz E-Class Coupe

11 March 2010 | CDanielson

For those of you questioning how you can squeeze a bit of extra performance out of the 2010 E-Class Coupe, Kicherer’s unveiled a model they’re calling the E 50 Coupe aimed at doing exactly that. The model features both a software update and sport exhaust system, with the end result being an increase of 42 PS and 20 Nm’s of torque (this on top of the standard E-Class Coupe’s 388 PS and 530 Nm torque).

Outside, a new front lip and grille, side skirts, a rear diffuser and modified mirror housings are present, all of which are constructed from top-quality carbon fiber. Topping it all off, Kicherer RS-1 20 inch wheels mated to a high performance braking system, both of which help ensure optimum handling and stopping ability.

Kicherer E 50 Coupé Performance: Elegant Dynamism

The new ex-works 500 E-class coupé is in itself not underpowered. With 388 PS and 530 Nm torque it‘s the currently most powerful produc- tion model coupé that the company can offer its customers.

However, those who like it a touch more dyna- mic can find what they want with the traditional refiner Kicherer in Stockach. Engineers, techni- cians and designers have taken on the E-Class derivative and accentuated it in all things sporty, technically and optically.

By means of an software update and a sports ex- haust system the performance of the V8 was in- creased by 42 PS and 20 Newtonmetres. So taht the 430 horsepower can freely run the V/max block was raised from 250 km/h to xxx km/h. In addition after the alteration the speedometer can reach speeds of up to 330 km/h.

In order to give the aerodynamics the final po- lish with regards to performance and looks a "Kicherer Performance Series Package“ was em- ployed. This set comprises a front lip, side skirts, a rear diffusor and special mirror casings. All com- ponents are made of top quality and ultra-light carbon. The same can also be said of the optio- nally available three-bladed sports grill.

At the rear both eye and ear can delight in eve- ry sense in a lovely exhaust system. On the one hand it is convincing with ist modern, almost rectangular tail pipe design and on the other hand it produces an exciting but not obtrusive sound.

The elegant side view of the coupé is perfected by the sportily filigree Kicherer RS-1 20 inch wheels, behind which you get hints of the bra- king power of the 6 and 6 piston high perfor- mance brake system. With its composite discs and modified flexible steel tubes this ensures a suitable negative acceleration.

The noble interior with its interior elements and entry strips in epoxy resin laqueur complements the outer appearance of the Kicherer E50 Cou- pé. Thus Kicherer has been able to create an al- most perfect balance between dynamism and elegance.
