Press Release

Sportservice Lorinser is one of the top addresses for the exclusive refinement of Mercedes automobiles. The company located in Waiblingen in Southern Germany once again confirms this with the new Mercedes E-Coupé (Model C207). An entire tuning program is available and renders the two-door car an even more dynamic and significantly more individual mark.

Sporty elegance is the hallmark of the Lorinser aerodynamics set: The stylishly adjusted components of the front bumper with the integrated LED daytime running lights and the new radiator grill form the front of the Lorinser E-Coupé into a dynamic center of attention. Moreover, the roof- and rear lip and the rear bumper add-on part in diffuser look harmonise congenially. The dynamic appearance is perfected by the new side skirts. The earthy and impressive sound stems from the Lorinser sports exhaust system. The stainless steel rear muffler with its edged dual tailpipes perfectly integrates into the newly designed rear section. But Lorinser does not only focus on a powerful sound. Optimised engine control units for performance increase are currently in preparation.

The light-alloy wheels program is impressive in terms of its dimension and selection. No matter if you are looking for something dynamic, luxurious or noble – Lorinser offers varying wheel designs and sizes. The latest development is the one-piece 20-inch light-alloy wheel RS9. The light-alloy wheels are especially emphasised by progressively winded suspension springs which lower the E-Class Coupés´ center of gravity by 30 millimetres at the front and rear axle. For models with serial Airmatic, Lorinser developed a set for manual lowering.

Following the style of the traditional brand Mercedes which puts large emphasis on comfort, elegance, but also sportiness in the interior, Sportservice Lorinser offers unobtrusive interior applications. Aluminium pedals and an instrument cluster with a scaling of up to 330 km/h accentuate the car in a dynamic way. Another elegant touch is rendered by the floor mat set with leather lining and embroidered Lorinser emblem as well as the illuminated door sills.

SACarFan - Carlsson CK50 Based Mercedes E550 Coupe

The German tuning house Carlsson has just revealed a new performance package for the very sporty 2010 Mercedes Benz E-Class Coupe at last weeks Frankfurt Motor Show. The new Carlsson CK50 is based on the two door E 550 and starts off with an increase in power that brings the 5,5-litre V8 power plant’s maximum output to 324 kW and 600 N.m of torque, up from the factory rated 284 kW.

The Carlsson CK50 features an RS style front lip spoiler made from lightweight carbon fibre that adds a sense of sport to the new midsize Mercedes coupe, as well as an oversized Carlsson emblem in the middle of the grill to let onlookers know this is no ordinary E-Class coupe. Out back the German tuners have added a stainless steel exhaust system complete with a pair of trapezoidal tips, to give the tuned 2010 E-Class coupe the sporty appearance it warrants, as well as an aggressive exhaust note to match.

The Carlsson CK50 rides on a set of Carlsson’s signature two tone 1/5 Revo wheels, measuring 20-inches in diameter with a set of sport tuned coil overs underneath that allow the owner to no only get the desired stance from their two door E Class, but also adjust it to optimise the sport coupe’s handling. The interior of the Carlsson CK50 is made up of a variety of high class suede and aluminum accents on the gear shifter and pedals. The German tuners have successfully added just the right amount of attitude and style to the new E coupe without taking away from the luxury car’s prominence.

Mercedes-Benz’s New Attention Assist System

Posted on 22 July 2009 by Scott Hayes

Research has revealed that drowsiness is one of the most frequent causes of highway accidents. So Mercedes-Benz engineers have developed the ‘Attention Assist’ system, which is now standard on several new models, including the E-Class Coupe.

A ‘coffee cup’ icon just below the gauges is evidence that your vehicle is enabled with system. If the system detects you’re becoming too drowsy to drive, the icon lights up and alarms go off.

How does it determine drowsiness? Monitors continuously evaluate 72 different parameters of your driving. It first determines a baseline algorithm that represents your own, unique driving style.

“Then it determines when you, as that very unique driver, are getting tired,” noted Chris Goczan, manager of product planning, Mercedes-Benz Canada. “If you drive wild to start with it will assume you’re a wild driver… It looks for deviations to a particular driving style.”

The ‘stop and go’ of city driving makes it impossible to develop a consistent base line for that kind of driving, so the system only operates at speeds over 80 km/h. But Mercedes-Benz contends that the system is more valuable at highways speeds, where drivers are more vulnerable to drowsiness.

Steering behavior has proven to be one especially good indicator of drowsiness. Several years of practical research by Mercedes-Benz has revealed that drowsy drivers tend to make tiny steering errors that they frequently correct very quickly and in a characteristic manner. A special steering wheel angle sensor recognizes this steering behavior.
