Hofele-Design presents today a comprehensive tuning kit for the current-generation Mercedes M-Class, a kit called Starcruiser GT 550.

The German tuning firm decided to improve the exterior appearance through a new pair of side skirts, new front and rear bumpers, LED daytime running lights, a rear apron, 22-inch Reverso II alloy wheels and a quad-pipe stainless steel exhaust.

Inside we find high quality materials and new trim, leather upholstery on the door panels, steering wheel and seats but also new stitching.

If you want more power from the German SUV, Hofele-Design comes with an upgrade for the ML350 BlueTEC unit.

The stock engine found under the hood of the ML350 BlueTEC develops 255hp and 620Nm of torque but Hofele-Design managed to squeeze 308hp and 700Nm of torque from the diesel power plant.

There are no pricing details for the performance upgrade but we know that the styling tweaks cost €6,500 in Germany.
