Carlsson, the automobile manufacturer specialized in Mercedes-Benz models re-defines open air pleasure with the SL CK 63 RS. Compared to the SL 63 AMG, power has been increased from 525 (386 kW) to 600 hp (441 hp).

In addition to more power Carlsson has worked out a new aerodynamics kit and has upgraded the interior with the finest leather.

With the Carlsson refinement, the sprint from 0-100 km/h (0-62 mph) takes 4.1 seconds and is therefore half a second faster than the AMG-model. The acceleration is electronically limited at respectable 325 km/h instead of 250 km/h. Better road holding is guaranteed by the electronic lowering kit C-Tronic® SUSPENSION by Carlsson combined with the ABC-sports running gear by AMG. This enables to lower the roadster up to 30 millimeters. The high-performance brake system Carlsson Carbon Composite takes over the negative acceleration.

What makes the SL CK63 RS really stand out is the varnish called “Stealth Titanium Graphite” and gull-wing RS doors. “Matt black was not enough for us” says Stafan Muller, responsible for Marketing at Carlsson. “We wanted a black varnish with such an extensive matt degree as it has never been seen before”. This intention was more than successful with the CK63 RS. Normally matt varnishes reach a degree of 20 to 25 gloss units, but the particular colour which has been especially developed for Carlsson, only has five gloss units. “And the colour shade still remains brilliant and is neither blurred nor milky” ensures Sascha Pfeffer, application technology manager at Standox.

Carlsson CK 63 RS prices start at 272,500 euros (357,847 USD).
