Kicherer K35 CS C-Class
Another tuner lays it’s hands on the new W204 Mercedes Benz C-Class - this time it’s Kicherer. The Kicherer K35 CS takes the C350 up 34 horses to 306 horsepower, while it’s oil burner tuned variant is the C320 CDI, which goes up to 270hp from 224hp.
On the exterior, there is the customary large wheels - RS-1 19 inch alloy wheels. Dampers are now height adjustable, stabilizer bars are thicker, and the rear gets a new diffuser from which quad shiny exhaust tailpipes protrude.
The interior gets alcantara leather, piano lacquer, a carbon fiber steering wheel, aluminum pedals, and stainless steel door sills.
Let’s do some comparison here between all the tuners that have tuned up the Mercedes Benz C350 recently. Only Brabus performed major mods on the engine, increasing it’s displacement up to 4.0 liters through the use of larger pistons.
Brabus C350: 332 horsepower (bored to 4.0 liters)
Carlsson C350: 295 horsepower
Kicherer C350: 305 horsepower

I like what they did with the rear end, though I’m not a fan of those style of rims.

good enough for me to dream of buying one.
and aahh…these tuned cars are available by whom? any importers? all i know, naza got brabus tuned cars on the sale garage.

Still love the Brabus version though… mad power + simpler grill.

too many tuners these days..

its better to tune those cars by ourselves, better satisfaction.

how to tune ourselves la? it might look better (maybe), but will it drive better? millions of dollars spent on aerodynamics modifications, can any of us, usual car buyers, do the same?
if by modifications you mean specifically aesthetics only, then yes. but as a whole package, these tuning companies rule

Yea, I’ll go with pre-tuned too, if possible. Nothing much better than something done by dedicated pros. I think the rear looks like a Citroen C5.

Hmm the backlights and bootlid look like the wider version of pre-facelift Honda City’s back. But definitely cooler.

Looks exhilirating from the rear.
Can’t say much about the front though. Looks pretty normal to me.
But hey, it’s a Merc. What more can we say.
