<p>It seems like Carlsson&#8217;s main goal in life is to specialize every single Mercedes-Benz model ever made. The Merzig-based tuner has announced a new RS-design kit for the S-Class sedan in carbon fiber and polyurethane. Carlsson&#8217;s main goal? To give the Mercedes-Benz S-Class an even &#8220;more sportive and unforgettable appearance.&#8221; Think of it as the RS package that is offered with the <a href="http://www.egmcartech.com/2008/06/16/buzz-garage-2010-chevrolet-camaro/">Chevrolet Camaro</a>.</p>
<p>The RS-design kit gives the S-Class a new front apron, front lip spoiler, grille inserts, new side skirts with stainless steel grille inserts, a new rear-spoiler and a four-pipe end muffler that produces a racing sound.</p>
<p>The kit for the S-Class is topped off with 21-inch light alloy wheels. The kit is available for the whole S-Class Series.</p>

<p>Carlsson, known for its Mercedes-Benz modifications, is now offering a tuning package for the new Smart ForTwo which will be made available in the U.S. through GGI European tuning. Carlsson offers minor performance modifications (no horsepower increases) and a styling package that gives the Smart ForTwo some sleek styling.</p>
<p>Carlsson starts with new sport springs that lower the Smart ForTwo by 25mm providing a wider track result for crisper steering response, reduced roll and enhanced cornering ability. Carlsson is also offering a stainless-steel rear silencer with four polished pipes for the 84-hp turbocharged version and as an end-pipe only system for the 61-hp and 71-hp versions.</p>
<p><span id="more-28161"></span></p>
<p>Appearance wise Carlsson added a new polyurethane front spoiler, electro-polished stainless-steel grille insert, fog-lights with chrome surroundings and a polyurethane diffuser at the rear. Inside, it gets a set of aluminum pedals and a handbrake grip. The Carlsson Smart ForTwo rides on 1/11 Evo BE wheels that are available in 16 or 17-inches.</p>

<p><strong>Press Release</strong>:</p>
<p><strong>Even racier &#8211; even better: CARLSSON CK63 S (Basis C 63 AMG)</strong></p>
<p>- Performance kit with up to 565 PS / 415 kW<br />
- powerful-dynamic Carlsson-Aerodynamics<br />
- Sport rear muffler, coil-over kit and limited slip differential<br />
- Carlsson High Tech forged wheels 1/16 UL in 19 inches</p>
<p>Merzig, Germany – With the C-Class top-of-the line model C 63 AMG, Mercedes-Benz has given an impressive statement in the medium class. Where else can you get an enormous larger than 6 litre V8 engine in a relatively small car? But as the power output is comparably low, the high-tech manufacturer Carlsson activates the hidden potential. With up to 565 hp, the Carlsson CK63 leaves its competitors behind its (stainless steel) end pipes. And equipped with new wheels and even more sporty aerodynamics, the top-of-the line C-Class model refined by Carlsson also shows clear features of a top athlete.</p>
<p>Carlsson CK63 – that stands for performance and full torque. The performance kit for the motor type M156 increases the serial performance of the 6.3 litre V8 from 457 hp (336 kW) at 6,800 r.p.m up to 565 hp/415 kW. The torque significantly increases from 600 to 685 Nm and therefore the car only needs 3.8 seconds to accelerate from 0-100 km/h instead of the serial 4.5 seconds. Once more, the Carlsson engineers are able to prove their expertise gained in motor sports.</p>
<p>All kits include a special motor electronics adaption, a maximum speed increase up to 300 km/h (electronically limited), a sport air filter and a noble three-part Carlsson motor cover made of real carbon as well as the obligatory Carlsson nameplate in chrome. Carlsson gently limits the never-ending thrust at 300 km/h for all models with an electronic device. The Carlsson sport rear muffler from the 565 hp strong CK63 S-Kit not only renders an enormous sound but also 15 extra hp (11 kW).</p>
<p><strong>Coil-over kit and limited slip differential</strong></p>
<p>The perfectly set-up Carlsson RS coil-over kit which has been co-developed by Ellen Lohr offers a step-less height adjustment and renders a driving dynamics which has never been experienced before. With the individually adjustable damping characteristics, the driver can regulate the setup according to his preference. With this new technical development by Carlsson, the driver does not have to make any compromise. He can enjoy the comfort of the roadworthy suspension system or race for top speeds on a racetrack. To ensure that the extra performance which has been imbued to the C-Class by Carlsson does not go up in smoke on the asphalt, Carlsson recommends fitting its torque-sensitive multi-plate limited slip differential with mechanically variable lock-up (produced with lock-up values according to customer requirements). This increases the traction and driving stability, especially when accelerating in bends.</p>
<p><strong>Powerful-dynamic Carlsson aerodynamics</strong></p>
<p>The elaborate premium Carlsson aerodynamics consists of a front spoiler, the front spoiler lip RS and a Carlsson rear spoiler (with an imprinted Carlsson logo) which renders stability at higher speeds. All accessories are made of high-quality PUR or optionally real carbon. The styling kit does not only stand out for its perfect finishing, but also for its unique design. It emphasizes the Carlsson designers´ claim to always develop something a bit nobler than its competitors.</p>
<p><strong>High Tech forged wheels 1/16 Ultra Light</strong></p>
<p>When developing the Carlsson light alloy wheels 1/16 UL, the engineers and designers most of all focused on a perfect weight optimization. All force effects on the wheel are led into the wheel spider by the regular distribution of spokes. This avoids an over-dimensioned wall thickness and leads to a low wheel weight. The latest forging technology leads to a weight reduction of 38% compared to ordinary wheels with a similar wheel load and dimension! Thanks to the metal compression, the induced forces are forwarded in a far more homogenous way than with a cast wheel. Therefore, the unsprung masses are held as low as possible at the wheel suspensions and that leads to a noticeable driving comfort improvement by the Carlsson forged wheels compared to customary light alloy wheels. The forged Carlsson wheel 1/16 Ultra Light is available in the sizes 8,5&#215;19“ (FA+RA) and 10&#215;19“ (only RA) for the Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG.</p>
<p><strong>Finest craftsmanship dominates the interior</strong></p>
<p>According to the customer requirements, Carlsson compiles various components to an individual comfort-mix, from a sport steering wheel to leather interiors or multi-media accessories. In the noble manufactory, also the Carlsson CK63 S is once again significantly individualized. This is how unique specimen are created with the best materials according to customers wishes.</p>
