Kicherer has releases their new Impact program for new Mercedes-Benz ML Class Type 166.

The ‘Impact’ aero kit consists of a new front fascia with larger intakes and LED daytime running lights, wheel arch extensions, side skirts and a rear bumper apron with integrated diffuser and apertures for the twin-double trapezoidal tailpipes. The factory wheels have made way for Kicherer’s own RS2 items in a 22-inch diameter, while the ride height drops by around 25 mm thanks to the fitment of an electronic lowering module.

On the inside, the Germans offer the choice between Nappa leather, Alcantara and carbon fiber.

The release of the body kit is planned for the summer of 2012.

BRAWNY AND ATHLETICALLY ELEGANT!

The KICHERER "IMPACT" that is modeled on the basis of the new Mercedes Benz ML series is a real high-performance luxury SUV!
