Carlsson 2011 Mercedes CLS

AS the first tuner to come up with an upgrade package for the new generation Mercedes CLS, Carlsson has done a very good job and prepared a fabulous kit.

The body kit they have in mind is discrete yet effective and include RS front spoiler lip, power domes for the bonnet and the mudguard inserts, plus stainless steel grille inserts, side mouldings with built-in air inlets, rear apron with built-in diffuser and boot spoiler.

The interior is enhanced as well, with Alcantara sports steering wheel, pedals and foot rest made of brushed aluminium, velours foot mats.

The tuner also offers power packages for the CLS 350 CDI and CGI. The petrol engine gets 333 hp (245 kW) and maximum torque from 370 to 410 Newton metres, while the diesel benefits from 320 hp and 780 Nm.

Carlsson has a wide range of lightweight rims for this car from the 1/10 series, available in three colours and in a combination of five simple and five double spokes, and in 19 or 20-inch size.
