Carlsson Mercedes-Benz GL-Class

Published by on Jul 29th, 2009, 2 Comments

Carlsson has come up with an engine trim for both the petrol and the diesel GL-Cass models couple with an RS-Kit and Suspension Lowering options. The Mercedes-Benz GL isn’t a very satisfactory model and an engine upgrade can do it a world of good. The trim brings an RS kit that is capable of giving an aerodynamic flow to the GL-Class. There is a new radiator grille and bonnet attachments alongwith electro-polished stainless steel grill inserts on the front lip and front and side skirts which make the car pretty distinguishable. The suspension can be lowered using the Carlsson engineered C-Tronic SUSPENSION which brings down the car 30mm with continuous ride adjustments by interpreting road conditions.

The engine is boosted using a sport air filter and electronic changes. As a consequence the top-line GL500 goes from 388hp to 435hp while raising the torque from 530 to 600Nm. The aerodynamic kit costs 8,499 euros, the suspension is available for available for 1,099 euros and the engine upgrade bears a tagging of 4,189 euros. The diesel upgrade comes cheaper at 1,299 euros as the GL 420CDi can now hit 354hp and the 320CDi can produce 269hp-this one though is costlier at 1,499 Euros.

This Merc is really different…looks mean and powerful. I’m sure a few mods and this car will be all set for the best.
