Merzig-based tuning specialist, Carlsson, is offering an S-Class program exclusively for the Chinese market. Based on the S 600 model, the CS 60 Royale offers cosmetic and power upgrades.
Thanks to a reworked ECU and sports exhaust, the twin-turbocharged V12 jumps from 517 hp (380 kW) to 600 hp (441kW), allowing it to hit 100 km/h in just 4.3 seconds and a limited top speed of 320 km/h (198 mph). Torque was limited to just 1024 Nm…
Externally, the RS aero kit consists of a front lip, side skirts, boot lid spoiler, front and rear aprons, and new oval tailpipe trims. The car’s face receives polished stainless steel grille inserts and additional light units which feature high beam and fog lamps, as well as vertically mounted LED daytime running lights. The company’s 1/10 Brilliant Edition alloy wheels are 20-inch diameter.
However you choose to have your interior trimmed, Carlsson will add its logo to the seat’s head rests, a set of blue illuminated sill plates, and a plaque on the centre console, complete with its own unique number, and the signature of Mark Schuster, Carlsson’s president.
Opening last month, Shanghai-based Carlsson China, became the country’s first official importer, with this and the CGL45 being its initial models on offer.
