One of the few new tuning proposals was Carlsson’s Mercedes-Benz E-Class. The German tuning boutique’s treatment for the all-new 2010 Mercedes E-Class sedan includes special interior fittings, under-the-hood upgrades and a new lowering C-Tronic suspension system.
Carlsson offers performance enhancements for three E-Class models starting from the E250 CDI BlueEFFICIENCY diesel that gains an extra 40 horsepower for a total output of 244HP. The E 350CDI BlueEFFICIENCY diesel gets a 46 horsepower boost for a total of 277HP while the E500′s 5.5-liter V8 gasoline engine receives a CM50K compressor kit along with a new sport exhaust system, high-performance catalysts and stainless steel mufflers for an extra 55 horsepower that result in a total of 443HP.
To improve handling, Carlsson has developed the C-Tronic suspension system that not only allows the driver to lower the sedan’s ride height by up to 43 millimeters (1.7-inches), but also automatically adjusts the ride height based on the road conditions.
For the interior there’s an array of options ranging from aluminum pedals and new floor mats with an integrated Carlsson logo to a tailor-made gearshift and door lock bolts made of aluminum.
