ALL AUTOCARS

Carlsson has released new body styling and tuning package based on the C63 AMG and name it as CK63S. Some modifications however, were made to ensure the two cars were quite different in looks and performance.

Performance wise, the 6.2-litre AMG V8 able to squeez out 565hp (416kW) and 685Nm of torque from it. The stock vehicle makes use of "only" 457hp (336kW) and 600Nm. Now the car able to accelerate from 0 - 100km/h in 3.8 seconds and the speedometer runs out of breath at a limited 300km/h (186mph).

The aerodynamic kit placed on the exterior is listed as: front and rear spoiler and spoiler lip, oval stainless steel tailpipes, a sports rear silencer and lightweight wheels. Occupants experience the ultra-suede material on the doors and on the sides of the seats. The driver meanwhile gets to play with aluminium pedals and a sports steering wheel covered in either leather or ultra-suede.

The CK63S was intended as a car of two personalities; a family cruiser that can take up to five adults or a sharp handling tool for track days. Ex-racing driver Ellen Lohr who also works as a Carlsson brand ambassador was involved in developing the latter character so Carlsson was pretty confident it would deliver the goods.
