2012 Prior Design Mercedes-Benz CL C216 Black Edition V2
2012 Prior Design Mercedes-Benz CL C216 Black Edition V2 -
For its latest creation, Prior-Design drew on the lovely CL-coupe from
the Mercedes-Benz C216 series, a model which, as it rolls off the
production lines, is really already furnished with truly shapely and
classy form lines running through its bodywork.
Without impacting on the vehicle’s own lines, the designers at
Prior-Design developed the new ‘Black Edition V2′ components for the
exterior shell of the CL, components which give the vehicle a
significant widening. For the CL’s brutish front end, straining forwards
into the headwind, there is a completely new front bumper with large
air vents and a front lip spoiler, which is optionally available in a
particularly racy genuine carbon fibre design. Specially designed to
complement the Black Edition V2 front bumper are four cup-wings,
finished in DTM-Style (German Touring Car Masters). Also new is the
engine bonnet with two large outlet valves for the hot exhaust air
coming off the engine. Making the vehicle look really muscular are the
two broad-shoulder like front fenders with side air vents and integrated
racing grilles, which also have their counterparts on the drive axle,
where they appear as ample side widenings. A set of side skirts ensures
better air circulation from the front to rear axle. At the rear end of
the vehicle, almost everything is new: In addition to a completely new
rear bumper with side air vents, as well as an integrated rear diffuser
(optionally available in genuine carbon fibre), Prior-Design have
installed a massive boot lid spoiler, which is attached to the boot lid
itself. Framed in the diffuser is an exclusive stainless steel sports
exhaust system, which has been specially manufactured for Prior-Design
by NAP Autoteile, and which can be individually customised by customers
with a range of exhaust pipe end pieces.
Three-part PD RF wheels have been mounted in the widened
wheel-arches, up front in measurements of 10.5 x 20 inches ET0 and at
the back in massive measurements of 13 x 20 inches ET0. Onto these rims,
we’ve placed Continental tyres of dimensions 265/30R20 and 325/25R20.
Prior-Design has finished the interior of this racy luxury coupe with
exclusive PD Black Edition leathers in addition to carbon fibre
interior panels and skirting.
