2012 Mercedes-Benz CLS by Carlsson

Carlsson is offering power boosting kits for the many engine variants of the CLS-Class. For example, the CLS 350 CDI achieves a power output that is 20 percent greater than the standard engine thanks to the Carlsson C-Tronic DIESEL POWER additional control unit. Instead of 265 hp (195kW), the self-igniting engine now manages 320 hp (235 kW), while maximum torque has increased from 650 to 780 Nm. This allows the CLS 350 CDI to go from 0 to 62 mph in 5.9 seconds, up from the standard 6.2 seconds.
Another highlight of the Carlsson CLS are the model’s light alloy wheels in 1/10 design, available up to 20 inches,  and the perfect compliment to the sporty and stylish contours of the new aerodynamics package. For the exhaust, Carlsson offers double-over tailpipes and stainless-steel rear silencer with the option of stainless-steel tailpipes.

Helping lower the CLS’s stance, Carlsson’s C-Tronic Suspension kit that is adaptable to standard airmatic suspensions offers the ability to lower ride height up to 30mm.
As always, Carlsson is the using finest materials available on the interior such as leather, exclusive alcantara, carbon, best root wood, and several other exclusive nature materials. The seats and the doors panels have been covered in Carlsson Nappa with contrasting Carlsson stitching. This leather is exclusively produced for Carlsson as barrel pigmented aniline leather which is available in all conceivable colour variations.

2011 Mercedes-Benz SL-Class

2011 Mercedes-Benz SL-Class
The 2011 Mercedes-Benz SL is on the warning track: with a new roadster on the way and an SLS AMG gullwing already in the lineup, there's little changed to the two-seat roadster for the new model year.

Bless the built-in corporate stability control for that, because the SL is a stupendous piece, its enviable ride quality topped with huge dollops of torque and cloaked in a body that's going to look great five or fifty years down the road, as almost all Mercedes convertibles do.

While it isn't as chic as some exotics, the SL acquits itself extremely well in performance. The SL550 bridges the gap from Jaguar XK territory into Ferrari California range; the SL63 AMG is the pinnacle of the SL's ability, faster than an Aston Martin Vantage and not far off the mark set by the Porsche 911. (A Nissan GT-R will trounce it, but to be fair, it'll backhand some sport bikes, too.)

Like only a few other cars with a similar mission, the Benz SL has a very roomy cabin. But like almost all super sportscars and roadsters, the carry-on space gets beaten by a single overhead bin on a Canadair jet.

Feel free to spend up to $200,000 on an SL65 AMG; our favorite is the relative bargain SL63 AMG, for its time-warping acceleration and its multi-contour seats and an amazingly tractable ride. No matter which you choose, there's always AIRSCARF, which deserves some kind of Nobel of its own. Anything that keeps the top down longer, and more frequently, is an inspiration all its own.

The new revised C63 AMG (and C63 AMG wagon) features most notably a new aggressive grill, LED fog lights and reworked headlights. Underneath the refreshed styling lies the joy of the newest model, a 6.2-liter naturally aspirated V8 engine with 451 horsepower and 443 pound-feet of torque. Power will be directed to the rear wheels through a seven-speed ‘SpeedShift’ MCT transmission good for propelling the small form-factor Benz from 0 to 60mph in 4.6 seconds all while getting an average of 19.6 miles to the gallon.

There is the front spoiler lip, three-part boot lid lip and rear diffuser with integrated 4-pipe Quadro exhaust system which is part of the upgrade or additional to the AMG kit that the tuning firm has incorporated on the car. The quadro exhaust system is available for all engines powering the coupe and convertible models. There is the option available for Piecha on request to modify the standard, 2-pipe exhaust as well.

The 2012 C-Class model from Mercedes has made its official appearance recently and that too after having gone through a face lift. The car is all set to make its presence felt in the US car scene sometime next summer. The face lift includes LED lights and new creases to name a few. This would ensure the car design conforms with the Benz family of cars while the interior gets a redesigning too.
Some of the controls also have been given a metallic trim and there is a new gauge cluster and steering wheel that has been added to the interior modifications. There would be the Sport and the Luxury trim model of the car. A list of options would be available for the buyers to select from at the time of purchase. The C250 Sport and C300 4MATIC Sport models have brushed aluminum trim, while the C350 Sport gets Black Ash, and any of the Luxury models receive Burl Walnut wood.
The power trains of the car are what make the car hit the news headlines. There is a 15 percent improvement in fuel efficiency as per Mercedes themselves. The same has been achieved by installing a direct injection and a newer, greener 7-speed automatic gearbox. This option is however available on select models only.
