Lorinser C350.

Swabian tuner Lorinser {link} have subtly and suitably modified the Mercedes C350 improving performance and aesthetics with great attention to detail.

Lorinser's styling is muted yet still impressive with a new front spoiler, side skirts and rear bumper all adding to the appearance of the C class. The rear bumper allows the special Lorinser exhausts to exit with no issues regarding bodywork fouling. Complimenting the body styling as well as improving handling is a sports suspension kit that lowers the C class 10mm all round, when used in conjunction with Lorinser's 19" wheels the improvements to poise and appearance are marked.

As with most German tuners Lorinser are not purely about show, they endow their chosen cars with 'go' too! By altering the camshafts and engine management Lorinser are able to raise the power of the normally aspirated V6 from 272PS to a more impressive and equally usable 305PS. An increase in torque is also delivered by the tuning kit. Whilst power and torque figures rise fuel consumption should in fact reduce thanks to clever programming of the ECU.
