(from Kicherer Press
Release) The prevailing notion that sports cars are just a
pleasure for two was now contradicted by Kicherer. The renowned
Mercedes embellishing specialists from Stockach have enriched the
CLK 63 AMG, which is actually a two-seater, with a sporty back seat.
When you take the north
loop in less than 8 minutes with this bolide, all those seats will
defnitely provide more fun – and adrenaline – than any
rollercoaster.
And what is more, those
additional seats guarantee a Black Edition with a significantly
improved road capability.
But, Kicherer will even
delight design and sports enthusiasts.
The radiator grill,
already quite impressive on the standard version, is replaced by an
even sportier variant made of carbon and featuring carbon fibre
struts.
The beautiful forged
three-part wheel, Kicherer RS-1, also fulfls a double function as it
is a visual and – thanks to weight reduction – also a sportive gain.
The chassis – specially
developed for Kicherer by DTM specialist H&R – also improves the
racer’s cornering dynamics by several degrees. Since the
Kicherer engineers have taken care of the engine, too, they have
further underlined their reinterpretation by carbon mirror shells.
With its 540 hp, the Kicherer CLK racer gained about 33 hp. Even the
torque has been improved by another 20 Nm.
Thus equipped, the
Kicherer CLK only needs 4.1 seconds from 0 to 100 km/h and runs
faster than 300 km/h – thanks to a derestricted V/max.
In order to delight any
fellow passenger’s vision, Kicherer has equipped the car with
additional carbon intarsia.
These do not only
include – as is usually the case – parts of the centre console and
of the door linings, but also ultra-light front seat buckets made of
genuine carbon.
Therefore, even at a red
light, the “normal” Black Edition becomes a Kicherer Racer.
