Tuner Carlsson has announced a limited edition version of the Mercedes CL 65 AMG with an engine uprated to over 700bhp and an interior designed in league with luxury leather brand Aigner.
Just 10 versions of the Carlsson Aigner CK65 RS ‘Eau Rouge’ Dark will be built, costing between £267,000 and £320,000 depending on engine spec. Two optional upgrades to the 612bhp twin turbo V12 are offered, making 705bhp and 756bhp respectively – mainly down to electronic remapping, but also thanks to reworked inlet and exhaust systems. The beefier version is claimed to do 0-62mph in 3.8 secs, and is electronically limited to 208mph.
The model is available exclusively with the two-tone black and grey paintjob pictured, and a body kit that includes carbon spoilers and rear diffuser. The cars also get ‘intelligent suspension’ that automatically adjusts ride height to road surface conditions.
Inside, the seats and all visible plastic surfaces have been re-trimmed in Aigner products. Suitably ensconced in their leathery cockpits, the 10 lucky owners will be able to ponder Carlsson’s claim that this new edition is “the most exciting means of travelling at the moment”.
