Carlsson has finally released details regarding the amazing SL CK63 RS which first debuted at the Essen Motor Show.

The new tuner car is based on the Mercedes-Benz SL 63 AMG, with a reworked V8 engine to produce 600 bhp and 705 Nm of torque. The SL CK63 RS shoots to 62 mph in 4.1 seconds while the fore mentioned SL 63 AMG is a little slower at 4.5 seconds. The vehicle’s top speed has been increased to 325 km/h (202 mph).

Carlsson engineers also threw in several other performance minded changes including an electronic lowering C-Tronic suspension, a high-performance carbon composite braking system, and ultra light 20-inch wheels outfitted with high-performance Dunlop SP SportMaxx tires.

German pricing starts at a rather pricey €272,500 - but what can you expect from cars as exclusive as this.
