LUMMA Design CLR 550 R at Essen

LUMMA's presence at the Essen Motor Show will be seriously felt this year as it presents beast after beast. This one is the CLR 550 R which is based on the 4.8-litre V8 Porsche Cayenne GTS. The standard SUV belts out 405hp (302kW) with either a Tiptronic transmission as an option or standard 6-speed manual. A bit of reprogramming has been done on the car's ECU for more power retrieval.

The CLR 550 R is lowered by some 40mm which makes its 315/25-23 Michelins look more dramatic than they already are. The car has LUMMA's gas pedal power module system which improves pedal response for more oomph.

The GTS interior is already sporty off the factory floor, but LUMMA thought it best to improve on the goodness by installing a multimedia sound and entertainment system. Adding to the interior environment are carbon fiber and leather/ alcantara inserts. Aluminium sporting foot pedals add to CLR 550 R's exclusivity.
