Mercedes-Benz E-Class Coupe tuned by Kicherer

The tuned car is based on the Mercedes-Benz E500 Coupe, and Kicherer has given the car a revised ECU module and a sports exhaust system. This allows the 5.5-litre V8 to produce 424bhp and 550Nm of torque, an increase of 41bhp and 20Nm from the standard car.

Kicherer has not revealed any performance figures, but the E50, as Kicherer calls it, can hit a top speed in excess of 250km/h. 20-inch RS-1 wheels and a high performance brake system with six piston callipers and carbon composite discs aid the performance.

In terms of styling, Kicherer has kitted out the E50 with a carbon fibre 'Kicherer Performance Series' body kit, which includes a front lip spoiler, aggressive side skirts, a rear diffuser, and special mirror casings. A three-blade sports grille is also available as an option.
