Mercedes-Benz has moved on with a new V-Class, but the tuning industry is still interested in their previous generation van series with the star on its hood.

Germany’s KTW Tuning has released a new package of goods for the Viano 3.0-liter CDI BlueEfficiency model from 2010 an onwards and which, fortunately, can be had without all those promotional decals on the display car.

KTW starts with a €1,990 Brabus tune for the 3.0-liter turbo diesel lifting output from 224PS (221hp) and 440Nm to 265PS (261hp) and 500Nm respectively, that allows the van to run to 100km/h from standstill in 8.7 seconds and top out at 208km/h (129mph).

The tuner follows up with a set of 22-inch alloy wheels shod in 255/30R22 tires (€3,516) and a new B14 coilover suspension from Bilstein (€1,866).

Completing the upgrades are a new infotainment system (€1,700), door sills, and a trim wrap for the interior.

Keep in mind that, all prices mentioned do not include local German tax (VAT).
