The German tuning company Carlsson has released a new package for the Mercedes-Benz SLK. Performance mods start off with a new C-Tronic kit to deliver more boost to the new CGI engines found in the SLK. The 200 CGI Mercedes SLK power was increased to 224 PS, while the SLK 250 CGI received 239 PS. A suspension kit was installed to lower the Benz up to 30 mm along with the new 18 to 20-inch wheels.

Rolf Schlepp, chief designer for the Carlsson tuning company, accentuates the coupe styling of the Mercedes CLS with a new aerodynamic package. The kit includes stainless-steel grille inserts, rear apron boasting an integrated diffuser, front spoiler, and RS front spoiler lip, the last available optionally in carbon fiber. Power boosting kits are available from Carlsson for many different CLS engines; one boosts the CLS 63 AMG twin-turbo V8 from the standard 557 PS to as much as 600 PS. The CLS 350 CDI’s power rating is boosted by as much as 20 percent by the Carlsson C-Tronic control unit, bringing it up to 780 Nm and 320 PS, an increase of 130 Nm and 55 PS over the standard model. The sprint time of the Mercedes CLS has been improved from the standard by a full 0.3 seconds, resulting in zero to one hundred kilometers an hour in only 5.9 seconds.
Carlsson Mercedes SL 65 AMG C25 Royale
The guys at Carlsson brought their A-game to the Geneva Motor Show with a new version of the C25 called the Royale, based on the Mercedes SL 65 AMG. The tuning firm announced a limited run of 25 units, and the highly modified coupe already has six orders placed. These will be delivered sometime in 2011, while future orders for the C25 Royale take six months to complete and ship out. When comparing the factory Mercedes SL 65 AMG, the Royale weighs 180 kilograms lighter, and this was accomplished with the extensive use of carbon fiber, found on the hood and new roof. Other lightweight components are the full ceramic brake system, which are half the weight of the stock Mercedes SL65 AMG parts. However, the styling and weight reduction aren’t the only parts that Carlsson focused on, the performance under the hood is just as impressive as the exterior.
Carlsson Mercedes E-Class Cabrio
The German car tuning company Carlsson recently released their newest upgrade package for the Mercedes E-Class Cabrio ranging from sleek new exterior add-ons to performance and more.

To achieve top of the line status, the most costly wheels in the package go for 2,712 Euros with the general package at a reasonable 1,698 Euros. The interior is like a world of its own. Wrapped in the most styling Alcantara upholstery and clean cut leather, this interior is something to remember.

Carlsson C25
The German tuning firm Carlsson announced earlier this month of their latest sports car project dubbed the C25. This came prior to the Geneva Motor Show, where we all got to see the Carlsson C25 masterpiece. From the front view of the car, you can describe it as dynamic and aggressive, with trapezoid shapes for the large air inlets. Typical Carlsson styling if you ask me, but if you look at it from the side, it confirms the fact that we are looking at classic GT-proportions, with a front centered engine. The rear view is just as impressive, and even holds a highly visible aerodynamic functionality.
Carlsson Mercedes-Benz GL-Class
German car tuning company Carlsson has modified the Mercedes-Benz GL-Class with several performance and styling upgrades.

The wheels come wrapped in 295/35 R22 high performance tires from Dunlop and are priced all together at 4,189 euros. To make the wheels fit with the styling improvements, Carlsson hooked up the Mercedes-Benz GL-Class with a suspension tuning kit called C-Tronic Suspension. The suspension package allows the car to be lowered 30 mm while adjusting itself with the riding conditions, and is priced at 1,099 euros.
Carlsson Mercedes SL CK63 RS
Carlsson is the german tuning company specialized in modifying Mercedes Benz models. They wanted to improve the Mercedes SL CK63 RS and with more performance, a complete aerodynamics kit, fine leather in the car’s interior and an exclusive varnish their final result is a masterpiece.

The maximum torque also rises from 630 Nm at 5,200 rpm to 705 Nm at 5,100 rpm. After this power refinement the car could accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just 4.1 seconds and it’s half a second faster than the AMG model.
