Passion. Experience. Diligence.

History has shaped Kleeman into who they are today

The accumulation of our origins, roots define us. Our humble start over 20 years ago, and our success over the years, has driven who we are, what we do now, and has validated the impressive technical skills of our team.

Brandon Grantham opened the doors to Kleemann USA back in 2001. To this day his dedication to the automobile industry, and his dedication to his craft, shows through on every project in the Kleemann repair bays.

Really, really big things sometimes come in small packages - Kleemann 55S8

When he first arrived at our offices on Hogback Road, Brandon Grantham told us, "We took the smallest car and squeezed in the biggest engine. We wanted the biggest giggle factor."

We can hear him chuckling all the way from Colorado.

Supercar Challenge. It’s a fantastic day with the least powerful car in the field has 442 horsepower.

The Mercedes SL55 AMG is a sophisticated and refined two-seater that develops a considerable 493 horsepower in stock form. However, there’s always more to be had when you apply traditional hot-rodding principles, and that’s what the people at Kleemann USA in Colorado Springs, Colorado, have done to turn this car into a Kleemann 55K3.

Kleemann C32K & CLK43K. Speaking German with a Scandinavian accent.

Better power through supercharging is Kleemann's MO, and the products that Kleemann USA of Colorado Springs is selling snuggle a twin-screw positive-displacement blower and intercooler into the 90-degree valley of any Mercedes V-6 or V-8. If the idea looks like a rip-off of a C32 AMG from Mercedes' in-house tuner, you should know that the Kleemann setup hit the streets first.
