Art Tuning X64 package for the Mercedes-Benz GL-Class SUV

The latest Mercedes-Benz GL-Class family of full-size SUVs is so good as it is that most tuners' attempts to make it even better look really futile, not to say stupid. Nevertheless, serious tuning companies keep presenting their own packages for the highly successful SUV. Now, Art Tuning joins the fray with its X64 program.



On the outside, the package gives the Mercedes-Benz GL a new spoiler with additional air-intakes and a new rear apron with integral air diffuser and four huge chrome-plated exhaust tips. The vehicle has also got a new set of xenon headlamps, LED running lamps and foglamps. As usual, the Merc' running boards feature tuner's logo in brushed stainless steel.



Inside, there is a fortune of expensive leather and Alcantara, a leather-clad steering wheel with wooden or carbon fiber parts and a luxurious multimedia entertainment system with an impressive LCD monitor installed on the ceiling.



The Art Tuning X64 package, Inside Line is reporting, includes "optimization" of the GL's original turbodiesel engine (similar packages for both the V6 and V8 petrol engines are also in the works) and an inevitable reprogramming of the Airmatic adjustable air suspension, decreasing the GL's ground clearance by about 7 cm.
