To be clear we are not talking about the drug called “lsd” but truly about a company called “LSD” that gave the Mercedes-Benz CL-class a set of wing doors. The in Germany based tuner installed the wing doors on the original door mouting points and are tested for safety with side-crash test and have the German TUV parts certificate. The LSD wing doors open outwards by a 30° angle and then swing upwards, without any great exertion. Strange, but not bad at all!

Tuning mostly comes together with a new car or a facelift on a yet existing one. With Brabus being the first to create a package on the brand new Mercedes-Benz SL, competitor Lorinser decided to put their hands on the facelifted CLS-class. The Germans based themselves on the CLS 500 and gave it an additional 72 bhp bringing it to a total of 460 bhp together with 585 Nm of torque. Topspeed is said to be 188 mph (300 kmh). They called it the CLS L 55 RS and such a long name informs you have something special to handle!

Mercedes is a popular car to take into a tuning shop, but that is a little bit different for the S-class. Probably because this car is a bit too ‘business-minded’ to modify with the coolest stuff. Tuningcompany ART denies this and has created a rather beautiful package for the S-class with a bronze and sandstone color combination. Under the hood you get a 5.4 liter engine producing now 403 bhp together with 530 Nm of torque. They managed to raise the power by electronics tuning and a sports air filter. The sport exhaust system with sport rear silencer accentuated by 4 chromed and polished tail pipes measuring 80 mm in diameter each!

The frontbumper, which was totally refreshed by Mercedes themselves, has been changed again. Together with that the guys at Brabus doubled the foglights and installed a row of the very popular LED-lights.
