Kompressor?
 
pls what does this "Kompressor" i see behind CLKs mean ?

Hi!

It means that the car has a compressor, a kind of supercharger that adds hp and torque. Basically, it means that a 320CLK with "Kompressor" is a much more powefull car than a 320CLK without it.

Well a Kompressor IS a supercharger, that's the German word for it. And 320s are not available with a Kompressor. The only Kompressor CLKs available are euro-only models.

The 320 does come with a supercharger if you buy the C32 or the SLK32. They are intercooled and supercharged.

IF you own non-supercharged version, you can purchase a Kleemann kit to add one!

Very true, but I was referring to the CLK. ;)

You can add the word 'Kompressor' once you buy an aftermarket supercharger from Kleemann, HPS or Spirit, etc.

I hear...
 
Just by adding the "Krompressor" badge by itself you get 2 HP!:D ;) :p :) :eek:

The car will actually be slower from 0-60. The extra weight of the 'kompressor' badge will slow the car down a bit. The slalom time is reduced significantly. He-He!:D :D :D

Not only the weight that will play a vital role in speed .. Even the drag coefficient will be reduce dramtically....:D :D :D

What if I add just an intercooler?
