With the new C Class,
Mercedes Benz continues the successful story of this compact
executive car. Nevertheless, Carlsson has already devoted
considerable attention to the saloon resulting in a new automotive
dimension in both visual and dynamic terms. The company achieved
these goals through a variety of measures including elegant
aerodynamic parts, a performance kit, new wheels and improved
interior appointments. The result is a vehicle that meets the
highest expectations of driving pleasure and active safety - not a
dazzler but a car with race-track engineering that meets the promise
of looks and paper form.
Race-proven CK35 performance kit
Carlsson has been a
successful competitor in the VLN Long Distance Trophy at the
Nürburgring for many years. At the world's most demanding race-track
for both driver and technology, Carlsson tests parts that are later
to be found in its range of parts and accessories. The company
currently uses the CK35 performance kit based on the 3.5 litre V6
for long-distance racing in an SLK. In other words, every Carlsson
CK 35 customer participates in Carlsson's racing success. "The
concept of taking developments 'from the race track to the highway'
applies to the CK35 more than any other engine", says CEO Rolf
Hartge proudly explaining how this piece of high-tech engineering
has been breathed on to ensure durability and great efficiency.
Developed in motor
racing for absolute reliability and superior performance, the CK35
kits give customers the assurance that they, too, could win races
with this engine. The Carlsson unit produces 217 kW / 295 bhp and
presses maximum torque of 385 Nm onto the crankshaft.
Also part of the CK35
kit, the stainless-steel sports rear silencer with four oval
tailpipes hints clearly but not too loudly at the increased engine
output. Carlsson also modifies and significantly improves the
engine's electronic control system while a sports air filter ensures
that the V6 has no trouble in taking a deep breath.
The increased output
coupled with effortless power delivery result not only in a better
paper form but also significantly improved flexibility and,
therefore, greater driving pleasure. The top speed of the CK35 is
270 km/h. The sprint from 0 to 100 km/h takes just six seconds, four
tenths faster than the standard car. At the same time, the sound
emitted from the four tail pipes is certain to set the pulse of
every racing enthusiast.
Carlsson aerodynamic kit: the
dynamic and striking alternative
Without making the car
look flashy, Carlsson fits an aerodynamic kit that not only reduces
lift at the same time as making the car more elegant and powerful
looking but also lends an individual touch and, of course, the
sporting flair so typical of Carlsson. The aerodynamic kit consists
of a front apron, a diffuser-look apron at the rear, side mouldings
and a rear spoiler that stabilises the car at higher speeds. In this
connection, too, Carlsson underscores its close association with
motor racing. All parts are made of high-grade PUR and, in addition
to fitting exactly, distinguished by top surface quality. The kit
also includes an electro-polished grille insert and double-headlight
units with fog and driving lights for improved light output and,
therefore, greater safety. These parts are also available separately
for fitment in combination with the standard bumper.
Suspension components for optimum
road-holding and a more dynamic look
In common with all
suspension components, the sports springs used to lower the car also
are derived from motor racing. Their racing equivalents have been
well proven in thousands of kilometres around the Nürburgring race
track. For Carlsson customers, they not only offer significantly
improved handling but also give the car a more dynamic look.
B for Brilliant Edition -
exclusive wheels from Carlsson
Wheels are the easiest
and most expressive way of giving a car a personal touch. If they
should also combine high technological qualities with sporting
elegance, then Carlsson 1/11 Brilliant Edition wheels are the
obvious choice. The front wheels measure 8.5x19" and are fitted with
225/35 ZR19 Dunlop SP Sport Maxx tyres while the rear wheels come in
the dimension 10x19" and 255/30 tyres. These single-piece, 11-spoke
wheels are characterised by an exclusive surface finish unparalleled
in the Mercedes Benz tuning sector. The polished brilliant silver
rim base and the painted brilliant silver centre, which makes the
wheel virtually unmatched in visual terms, form an interesting
contrast.
Unadulterated luxury inside
For the interior of the
CK35, Carlsson uses on the very best materials that turn the C Class
into a small S Class. The very attractive yet restrained components,
which can be combined in accordance with customer wishes, make
sitting in the car a great pleasure. With the ergonomically designed
Carlsson sports steering wheel in leather / Alcantara or leather /
wood, the driver always has a firm and extremely pleasant grip on
the car.
