THE NEW MERCEDES-BENZ SLK BY CARLSSON
Posted 15th June, 2011 in Mercedes-Benz | Leave a comment
Renowned Mercedes-Benz tuning house, Carlsson has wasted no time in creating a range of upgrades for the new SLK-Class. Externally there’s an aero kit based around a front and rear apron – with a diffuser, and an ‘RS’ front lip which is available in carbon fibre. To say that the polished stainless steel front grille kit is unsubtle, would be an understatement.
The car’s looks are further transformed when fitted with a -30 mm suspension kit and replacement wheels; packages between 18 and 20-inch are available, which we quite like. Inside, there’s an embossed aluminium gear selector and pedals, and inlay kits in wood or carbon, while Carlsson’s upholstery shop promises to finish the interior in any colour and material of your choice – at a cost. However, the ‘basic’ package involves the retrimming of the car’s seats and door panels in Nappa for 3900 Euros.
The company’s C-Tronic engine tuning kit caters for various models, from the SLK 200 CGI (from 184 hp up to 211 hp or 224 hp) to the SLK 250 CGI (from 204 hp up to 239 hp).
