LUMMA DECLARES MERC E500 UNFIT, TRAINS IT






LUMMA Design is one of the first tuners in the world to complete some work on the new Mercedes-Benz E-Class. Extensive upgrades were done on the W 212 to enhance both looks and performance.


Some of the kit fitted include new side skirts, a rear diffuser, an integrated rear spoiler, a sports fender with integrated vents, a sport exhaust system and optional LED lights. Wheels and tyres are 9x20" and 10.5x20 with sizes 245/30-20 and 285/25-20 Michelins for the front and rear respectively.


But what you ultimately want to know is how much thrust this thing kicks out right? The normal E500 makes a good enough 285kW from its 5.5-litre V8. LUMMA reckons it needed more and so they went and upped power to 316kW and 550Nm of torque.
