The new
Lorinser S06 tuning program for the new
Mercedes-Benz S-Class executive sedans offers serious upgrades for the vehicle's powerplants, including the huge 5.5-liter V12 engine that powers the top of the line S600 model.
There are, in fact, two programs: one for the 3.5-liter V6 and the other is for the model, equipped with a more powerful 5.5-liter V8 engine. The first one gets a boost 26 horsepower, enhancing its output from 272 to 298 hp. The V8 is pushed from 388 to 420 hp. The German company decided not to tinker with both engines' mechanics and limited the tuning only to their electronics and made some modifications to the exhaust manifold and catalytic converters.
Oh, and the turbocharged engine also gets its treatment, increasing its power from 306 to 416 hp and the torque from 339 to 406 lb-ft (460 to 550 Nm).
Maximum speed of sedans with normally aspirated engines is limited to 174 mph. The turbo model's speed is increased to 205 mph.
There are also some exterior modifications, but they are quite subtle and not really ground-breaking from the designer's point of view.
