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.

Just by adding the "Krompressor" badge by itself you get 2 HP! :p

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!

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

What if I add just an intercooler?
