Carlsson Previews CK50 E 500 E-classe Coupe

German tuner Carlsson has released details previewing its tuning package for the Mercedes E 500 E-Class Coupe (C 207).

The CK50, as Carlsson has branded it, comes with an increase in power over the production model, with output dialed up to 435 hp and 600 Nm of torque. 11 of those extra horses come courtesy of the stainless steel sport exhaust silencer, with dual oval pipes, that also provides for a more robust sound.

To help handle those extra 47 horses (from the standard model's 388hp) is a coilover suspension with damping and height adjusting that can lower the car up to 30mm. Carlsson also offers its 1/5 REVO 20-inch light alloy wheels which come in a dual-tone finish.

The aerodynamic kit is rather spare, featuring only a front and rear spoiler. An optional RS front lip is also available.

For the interior Carlsson adds a few touches to mark its presence. These include gearshift and steering wheel covers offered in a leather/ultra-suede combo, aluminum covers for the pedals and illuminated floor mats with the Carlsson badge.
