Lorinser just showed off their take on the 2008 Mercedes-Benz Estate (that’s pretentious for, station wagon). The car rolls on the signature Lorinser wheels, but they also sculpted the body a bit more with a full body aero kit consisting of front and rear aprons, side skirts with five gill-like air inlets, a honeycomb sport grill, wide fenders with large air inlets on the side. Unfortunately, they didn’t really do much to increase the power.

An upgrade is available for the C 200 Kompressor model that boosts the vehicle’s performance from 184 hp to 218 hp and torque from 250 Nm to 295 Nm. This added power is achieved by installing a modified engine control unit along with altered belt pulleys, drive belts and a different air filter. The C 350 with its V6 unit features modified camshafts increasing performance from 272 hp to 305 hp, while the torque jumps from 350 Nm to 380 Nm.

The diesel powered C 200 CDI’s output can be upgraded from 136 hp to 156 hp, which translates into a torque boost from 270 Nm to 360 Nm while the C 220 CDI’s standard performance is enhanced from 170 hp to 191 hp and 480 Nm of torque (standard: 400 Nm). The top of this line of upgraded Diesel vehicles is the C 320 CDI, which features a standard performance of 224 hp and a maximum torque of 510 Nm. Lorinser’s engineers managed to draw out 261 hp and 580 Nm from the V6 diesel unit.
