(from Carlsson Press
Release) Mercedes Benz SLK by Carlsson: Increased Exclusivity
and Dynamics for the Roadster
•
Comprehensive exterior and interior range
• Light-weight 19” metallic rims
• Power increase for all engine variants
At the 82nd
International Auto-Salon exhibition in Geneva, automobile
manufacturer Carlsson will present countless innovations and the
finest automobiles, based on the Mercedes Benz series and the
Mercedes Benz AMG models (Hall 5, Booth 5130). One of the Carlsson
exhibits is a tuned Mercedes Benz SLK, which ticks all the boxes
with its extensive range of accessories.
It becomes immediately
obvious to onlookers why Mercedes Benz customers worldwide have
their vehicles modified by the Carlsson master upholsterers. With
the Carlsson SIGNATURE LINE leather finish in Carlsson NAPPA
EXCLUSIVE leather, Carlsson have once again proven their ability.
The upholsterers at Gut Wiesenhof implement the most diverse color
and material combination for the SL, all stitched by hand. In so
doing, only exquisite materials such as Carlsson NAPPA, Carlsson
NAPPA EXCLUSIVE or Carlsson NAPPA EXCLUSIVE HEAVY WEIGHT are used.
The barrel-dyed leather variants of the Carlsson SIGNATURE LINE
offer the soft touch of a fine leather glove and, thanks to the
costly tanning process, the hides’ natural breathability is
retained, meaning the known issue of heat accumulation is prevented.
Whether warm or cold, this natural material adjusts immediately to
your individual body temperature. The high-quality interior finish
of the Carlsson Mercedes Benz SLK is rounded off with Carlsson pedal
overlays, Carlsson footrests, Carlsson door locking pins made from
brushed aluminum, door sill panels and the glass wind deflector with
the laser-printed Carlsson logo.
Sporty aerodynamics and more for
the SLK
Based on the Mercedes
Benz SLK with the AMG sports package, Carlsson has developed an
aerodynamic package, which, already fitted with the Carlsson front
spoiler and the RS front spoiler lip made from carbon, emphasizes
the sporty feel of the roadster. Carlsson grille inserts made from
electro-polished stainless steel replace the plastic honeycomb
grille found in the front skirt of the series model. At the rear,
Carlsson provides skirt inserts, a diffuser and a spoiler for
increased downthrust. The Carlsson aerodynamic package is
accentuated by lowering the suspension by up to 30 millimeters, thus
improving the driving dynamics of the roadster. The wheel arches
decorate the beautifully designed Carlsson light metal alloy rims in
the 1/10 TE design. Single-part wheels are installed with 8.5 x 19
inch rims at the front axle and 9.5 x 19 inch rims to the rear.
In the exhibited SLK, the Mercedes Benz specialist has installed the
CB25 S performance kit. Alongside the integrated of the C-Tronic
additional control unit from the successful Carlsson “Plug-and-Drive
Series”, this also entails the replacement of the standard
intercooler for a larger one. The additional control unit, which can
be connected in just a few simple steps, has been perfectly
optimized for the Mercedes Benz drive train. Combined with the
Carlsson CB25 S power increase to 176 kW (239 BHP), the
flow-optimized, stainless steel rear muffler, with its four oval
tailpipes, lends the roadster a gritty, sporty sound.
