Are you open for more performance? :D

Here's Carlsson CM55 K on the basis of the Cabrio CLK 55 AMG.

Mercedes-Benz Tuner Carlsson from the Southwest German town of Merzig presents on the IAA 2003 in Frankfurt an exclusive range for the Cabrio CLK 55 AMG as a premiere. The heart of this complete spectrum of high-grade optical and technical parts is the supercharged CM55 K engine, which makes 480 bhp available to the driver of this thoroughbred cabriolet.

In combination with the C-Tronic supplementary control unit, the supercharged CM55 K engine increases the output of the CLK 55 to a mighty 480 bhp and a maximum torque of 650 Nm at
2800 – 4000 rpm. Top speed is limited for safety reasons to
270 km/h. Acceleration from a standing start to 100 km/h takes just 4.9 seconds.

Underscoring the exclusive and sporting look of the Carlsson CM55 K on the basis of the CLK 55 is an aerodynamic package consisting of a front skirt highly polished stainless steel grille and a rear skirt.

A muscular and distinctive sound is generated by the stainless-steel Carlsson sports exhaust system with four metal catalysts and oval tailpipes with the Carlsson emblem in chrome. Also available is a stainless-steel rear sports silencer with oval twin or quadruple tailpipes.

For the wheels, Carlsson decided on a set of the company's exclusive 1/16 wheels Brilliant Edition. The front wheels of the CLK Cabrio are fitted with tyres of dimensions 8.5 x 19“ 235/35. The rear tyres have the dimensions 10 x 19“ 265/30.
