Just in time for summer, automobile manufacturer / Mercedes tuner Carlsson has released a new tuning program for the Mercedes-Benz E-Class Cabriolet. With 20 per cent more power, the new aerodynamic package and an enhanced interior, Carlsson has taken the E-Class Cabrio’s sportiness to a new level.
The core piece of the sporty conversion is the additional ECU C-Tronic® DIESEL POWER. This plug-and-play solution enhances the performance of the V6-Diesel engine by more than 20 percent, from 231 hp (170 kW) to 280 hp (206 kW). The optimised engine management also has an effect on the maximum torque. Instead of 540 Newton metres, the driver now has 648 Newton metres at his disposal. The ECU CD35 REVO for the Mercedes 350 CDI engines is delivered by Carlsson as a completely retrofittable solution inclusive of all materials for connections and montage, at a total price of just 1,784 Euros inclusive of VAT. Complimenting the new power, the right exhaust notes are ensured by the sport end mufflers with the two double-walled stainless steel end tubes, available for a total of 2,319 Euros.
Increasing the Mercedes E-Class Cabriolet’s visual appeal, Carlsson has added a new aerodynamic package. Highlights include a new front spoiler for 594 Euro and a front spoiler lip RS for 629 Euro, which can also be obtained in carbon. Also present is a new rear spoiler (475 Euro) which not only rounds up the heightened dynamic appearance, but also ensures optimised airflow together with the entire aerodynamic package, thereby ensuring better contact with the road. Further improving handling, sports suspension springs (355 Euros) have been added, that both lower the Mercedes-Cabriolet 30 millimetres while giving rise to a significantly more dynamic response while negotiating curves. Completing the outward styling, Carlsson-light alloy wheelsin a variety of designs are available. Options include the classic sixteen spoke wheel 1/16 in 18 inches through the trendy double coloured design 1/5 REVO to the high end cast wheels 1/10 Ultra Light in 20 inches, which combine low weight with the highest load bearing capacity. Available as a complete wheel set with top brand tires, the packages start from 2,712 Euros.
And lastly, Carlsson completes their work on the E-Class Cabriolet with a sportily elegant finish in the car interiors. Changes include an automatic gear shift lever in leather and Alcantara (213 Euros), aluminium door pins (58 Euro), soft velvet doormats with the Carlsson logo (set available for 154 Euros), and aluminium pedals together with footrests (282 Euros).
