Mercedes-Benz tuning specialist Carlsson will be revealing its latest program to suit the current B-Class at next month’s Frankfurt Motor Show.
For the body Carlsson offers an aero package comprising of a front spoiler, fender gills, sculpted side skirts, a larger roof spoiler and rear bumper apron with integrated diffuser and twin apertures to accommodate new quadruple tailpipes. A sport spring set lowers the B-class by 35 mm, while wheel and tyre packages, using alloys ranging from 18 to 20-inch diameter, include Carlsson’s 1/10 items pictured here.
Inside, Carlsson can supply anything from aluminum door pins and pedal covers or floor mats to a completely bespoke interior using such materials as leather, wood and carbon fibre.
The company also offers performance upgrades to suit all four-cylinder petrol-engined cars with its C-Tronic CB Plug & Drive module. Once plugged into the car’s ECU output from the B 250 jumps from 157 kW (211 hp) to 189 kW (253 hp), while the B 200 goes from 116 kW (156 hp) to 139 kW (187 hp), and the entry-level B 180 achieves 109 kW (146 hp), up from 91 kW (122 hp).
