What do you do if you are a multi-millionaire and want to own a CLS, well you let a company tune it. That is exactly what DC Shoes Co-Founder, Ken Block did. He hired AI Design to make his CLS look even more amazing and the power had been increased to 575 HP with the Brabus K8 engine package. Handling has been dramatically enhanced thanks to a Brabus electronic suspension lowering module, combined with Michelin Pilot Sport 2 tyres wrapped around Radenergie R10 20-inch wheels.
The exterior appearance of Block's CLS 55 is a departure from tradition within any segment of the custom car scene - a matte black finish has been applied to all body panels, and in contrast, the chrome trim has been finished in a glossy piano black, giving the sleek saloon an almost menacing appearance. Tail and side marker lamps have all been tinted.
