We proudly present our interpretation of the new C-Class saloon. In addition to aerodynamic components, suspension upgrades, and a range of alloy wheels, numerous interior refinement options are on offer, and a comprehensive tuning programme for all engine variants is in the works.
Distinctively contoured headlamps and large air intakes give the new C-Class a strong and distinctive face. The Carlsson aerodynamic styling kit picks up on the salient features of this fresh design, creating a more sporting look without disrupting the serene lines of the vehicle.
The two air intakes flanking the larger central one in the new front bumper are framed by borders painted in the same contrasting colour as the Carlsson RS front spoiler lip. The RS spoiler lip is optionally available in carbon-fibre.
The new face of the C-Class is set off with the more sporting Carlsson grille, which features a single chrome horizontal bar and matching Carlsson logo in place of the standard two bars and three-pointed star. The Carlsson front grille and the lower intakes can also be ordered with an electro-polished stainless steel mesh background.
More imitation air intakes applied to the side sill panels visually link the Carlsson modifications for the front and rear bumpers. The latter features a two-piece RS rear apron with diffuser insert that can be painted two-tone on request.
A highlight of the revised rear end is the stylised chrome tailpipe surrounds integrated into the rear valance that pick up the design theme started by the front bumper intake frames. The Carlsson bootlid spoiler is unusual in that while its main body lies flush with the bootlid, the edges cantilever over the rear light assemblies.
All aerodynamic components are manufactured from PU-RIM to OE standards of quality and fit. The front bumper uses the original attachment points, and the rear wing is suitable for use with all the factory and Carlsson styling packages. The sill panels and rear apron components are not suitable for cars equipped with the AMG-Line aero package, but Carlsson has compatible parts under development.
The uprated suspension options start with the classic solution of 30mm lower uprated sport springs calibrated to work with the standard dampers. Apart from giving the car a more purposeful stance, this basic set-up improves the cars cornering agility.
More hard-core drivers, especially those who might do trackdays, will appreciate the ride height, bounce and rebound adjustability offered by the more sophisticated coil-over suspension kit currently under development.
Carlsson’s motto is "The best in a different way!" And true to this way of thinking the alloy wheels for new C-Class stand out for their elegant and sporting design and finish.
The Carlsson 1/10 wheel is available in both Brilliant and Titanium Editions in 18, 19 and 20-inch diameter, while the 1/10 Graphite Edition can be ordered in 19 and 20 inch sizes. The alternative 1/16 RS design comes in Diamond and Titanium Editions, with 18, 19 and 20-inch sizes.
The bespoke element of the Carlsson C-Class tuning programme is most strongly manifest with the interior trim options. Here, as with haute couture tailoring, individuality is the watchword, with the only limit being the client’s imagination.
Our in-house saddler specialises in exclusive interiors individually created by traditional craftsmen steeped in years of experience. The Carlsson Signature Line offers a plethora of leather types and colours, and you can even have your family crest or personal logo engraved or printed in the leather or in the bespoke wood or carbon-fibre trim inserts.
Door entry sill scuff plates featuring an illuminated Carlsson logo, aluminium door-lock pins, and alloy pedal set are normal finishing touches on every Carlsson car.
So is the four-piece floor mat set made from high-quality velour, with the Carlsson logo embroidered on the front pair. More exclusive is a special set of mats with an illuminated white Carlsson logo.
