Not much of a revelation in terms of tuning, but Lorinser has issued a slight twist on the Mercedes ML-320 CDI package. Branded as the ML Black & White, Lorinser has taken a white ML and slapped on some matte black 22-inch wheels, painted the exhaust tips and grille matte black and tinted the windows. Paint guns aside, the 320 V6 CDI engine gets bumped up from 165 kW/224 hp and 510 Nm to 192 kW/261 hp and 580 Nm via Lorinser's Diesel ModulePress release:
At chess black and white are the antagonists. But not only there the extreme colour contrast between bright and dark brings excitement and thrill into play, as the Sportservice Lorinser ML Black & White based on the Mercedes-Benz ML 320 CDI demonstrates.
Especially the RS9 light alloy wheels painted in matt black magically attract the attention not only through their merely size of 22 inch: Their outstanding design feature is the five-pointed wheel centre with the double slotted spokes. Also the matt black painted grille insert and the darkly tinted back window panes contribute to the grave and aggressive aura of the vehicle.
The forceful aerodynamic body parts such as the Lorinser front bumper with hinted body protection, the side-skirts and the rear bumper with the striking exhaust end tips project lots of self-confidence to the observer. Despite these dominant features the ML Black & White appears distinctly light-footed by means of the white vehicle painting. The impression does not befool, eventually the Lorinser suspension provides sporty drivability and slight cornering roll. The work of the engineers of the Mercedes tuner can also be felt when stepping the gas pedal: by means of the Lorinser Diesel module the performance of the six cylinder 320 CDI was increased from 165 kW/224 hp and 510 Nm to proud 192 kW/261 hp and 580 Nm. And finally comes the best: The ML Black & White is not only a show vehicle, instead it can be bought regularly from Sportservice Lorinser!
The Lorinser ML Black & White: a statement in black and white.
