Style and Power do Mix Pt. II

2012 Carlsson CLS

Brabus and Carlsson are always competing for the honor of best Mercedes tuner. Last time, I showed you Brabus' version of the all new CLS. Now, it's Carlsson's turn, and this is what they've cooked up. It looks rather stylish this car, with some luxurious amenities to go with it. The bodykit looks alright with a new front lip, sideskirts, and rear splitter. Carlsson didn't forget about power when dealing with this car. Back then, I announced the power packages for the diesel CLS. Now, Carlsson will be working with the most powerful of the class, the CLS63 AMG. The regular car has 550 horsepower out of a 5.5-liter Twin-Turbocharged V8. Carlsson is willing to take that up a notch allowing you to turn the boost up giving you 592 horsepower, about as much as the McLaren MP4-12C. This all sounds rather nice, but if you know Brabus, chances are that they'll do something much crazier than that. Anyway, look for this car along side its Brabus counterpart at Geneva tomorrow.
