09/27/2006, 8:44 PM

By admin

Another tuner has got its hands on the new Mercedes CL-Class. This time, Germany’s Carlsson has unveiled what it calls the CK60. Based on the CL 600, the car’s V12 develops 600 horsepower at 5800 rpm and 1024 Nm of torque at 3500 rpm. Zero to 62 mph is said to take just 4.4 seconds. Carlsson also offers a selection of custom wheels, as well as a unique body kit. Lastly, the tuner offers an adjustable suspension system it calls C-Tronic. The technology allows the car’s ride height to be adjusted by 30mm (over an inch). Gallery after the jump…

Looks like cheap add on spoiler pieces that don’t integrate well with the bumper. Makes a very expensive car looks like a Civic.

what disturbs me most about this car is how fat it initially looked to me in comparison to the old cl. the same thing happened with cadillac’s new escalade. the old one look kind of lean, angular, and even aggressive. whereas the new cadillac escalade looked really fat. i guess they’re both menacing in their own way, but now i see mercedes following this same fatter is better mentality.

i guess if the old cl-class was boba fett, then this new one is jabba the hutt. i don’t know if i’ll ever really love the way it looks, but i might have to respect it.

1024 Nm == 756 lb-ft

That’s slighlty more torque than the 65 AMG engine in the S65, SL65, and the soon to come CL65. They have 1000 Nm, which equals 738 lb-ft, and that’s how you can remember the conversion factor.

P.S. Forgot to say, Barabus’ SV12 S/SL/E/CL/CLS produce 730 hp, and 812 lb-ft of torgue.

Wide body looks great. The wheel/tire fitment is absolutely perfect! I have found a new desktop background….
