(from Carlsson
Press Release) Super-GT Carlsson C25 as a Limited Edition for
China
• 7 vehicles in an
exclusive custom production
• 180 kilograms of weight savings as compared to basic model
• Carbon fiber body with a lowered center of gravity
• Carlsson V8 with 450 HP
• Special Edition sold out
The Carlsson C25
developed and specially handcrafted by Carlsson will be produced as
a seven vehicle Limited Edition for the Chinese market. All Limited
Edition vehicles with serial numbers 1-3 and 5-8 have already been
sold to end customers and will be manufactured individually
according to the owners’ wishes.
The Carlsson C25 Super GT philosophy remains unchanged: maximum
driving performance with optimal everyday practicality combined with
outstanding design and utmost exclusivity will make the Carlsson C25
LE a coveted toy for the discerning automotive enthusiast in China
as well.
The Carlsson C25 LE also meets the highest safety standards since
the crash structure corresponds to the basic model and offers
maximum occupant protection. In addition, the Carlsson Super GT is
particularly easy to maintain because it can be maintained all over
the world - including in China - through the existing Mercedes Benz
or Carlsson service network.
The body has been newly developed and manufactured entirely out of
carbon fiber. The total weight was reduced by 180 kilograms as
compared to the basic model. In addition to new front and rear
lights, the C25’s rear side windows and rear window were redesigned
and manufactured. Further technical highlights include the composite
braking system, available on request, the C-Tronic® Suspension
chassis with iPhone control, the 450 hp performance of the Carlsson
V8, and two massive, all-aluminum tailpipes of the Carlsson exhaust
system in a sophisticated design.
With the C25 Limited Edition, the automobile manufacturer Carlsson
guarantees the highest individuality for the Chinese market. Thus,
each car is unique. Combinations of colors and coatings are
individually made to order, as are the materials used and the entire
interior design. None of the seven vehicles are alike. "We wanted to
develop a vehicle that is highly exclusive on the one hand, and on
the other hand can be also be used for the daily commute to the
office. A Super GT which impresses with its driving comfort in urban
traffic as much as its capability to go from zero to 100. This
concept is especially suited to the Chinese market and we are
delighted with the very high level of interest," said Carlsson CEO
and engineer Markus Schuster.
In the tradition of the great chassis builders, Carlsson has reached
a milestone in the history of the company with their first
self-developed car. The Carlsson C25 design borrows from legendary
car forms of the 70s and 80s and newly interprets the use of a Super
GT. The C25 Limited Edition showcases the wide range of automobile
manufacturer Carlsson’s experience, passion and ingenuity in the
creation of impressive cars.
The Carlsson C25 Limited Edition No. 1 will be transferred by air to
Shanghai. The other vehicles will be hand-manufactured over the next
twelve months at Gut Wiesenhof in Merzig and then delivered to the
customers. The Carlsson C25 Limited Edition is available starting at
a price of 4,000,000 RMB.
