World Premiere at the Geneva Motor Show: Small series Carlsson C25
-- Limited Super-GT of the small series manufacturer Carlsson -- Edition includes only 25 cars and therefore ensures maximum exclusiveness
-- Carlsson combines top performance wîth drivability
-- Carlsson develops entirely own design vocabulary
Carlsson who are approved as an automobile manufacturer by the Federal German Motor Transport Authority, for the first time presents an own developed automobile at this years Geneva Motor Show the Carlsson C25. The concept of this Super-GT is based on the vision of combining maximum driving performance wîth an entirely new design and high exclusiveness.
The result is a breathtaking and beautiful sports coup wîth 753 hp in a limited edition of only 25 cars world-wide. Thereby, each automobile will be as individual as its future owner. We exclusively make the cars to order and the delivery quantity for 2010 is already sold out, says CEO, Dipl. Ing. (FH) Markus Schuster.
With 753 hp and 1150 Newton metres in 3.7 seconds from 0 to 100 km/h
The performance data of the six litre V12 Bi-Turbo is impressive. The high-performance aggregate wîth a motor management optimisation patented by Carlsson renders 753 hp (554 kW) and allows fast acceleration as well as smooth travels at lower speeds. Also responsible for the perfect performance evolvement is the elaborately developed stainless steel exhaust system wîth ends in four edgy pipes at the back.The power catapults the C25 wîth a torque of 1320 Newton metres at 3750 r.p.m. which is electronically limited to 1,150 Newton metres from 0 to 100 km/h in only 3.7 seconds and achieves a maximum speed of 352 km/h.
Perfect combination between top performance and maximum driveability
When developing the Carlsson C25, the engineers from Gut Wiesenhof have achieved creating a Super-GT for smooth everyday use despite its very high performance. There are more than enough super sports car in this world which can only be safely driven on a race track, says Markus Schuster. Therefore, we deliberately wanted to develop a car which is highly exclusive on the one hand and can be used for the daily journey to office on the other hand. Therefore, a Super-GT which can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in only 3.7 seconds and still offers a very pleasant driving comfort. All security-relevant regulations such as pedestrian protection, crash behaviour, ESP, ABS, Airbag systems are identical to large series editions wîth most modern standards. ( posted on conceptcarz.com)This is also achieved by the intelligent lowering system C-Tronic SÚSPENSION which automatically recognises the road characteristics and driving manners and constantly adjusts the suspension setting accordingly. This does not only result in a pleasant journey on long routes, but also guarantees that the nodding and rolling motions of the C25 are reduced to a minimum while driving fast curves. Therefore, the car reaches the perfect road holding characteristics in every situation and renders the feeling of absolute controllability.
Different than other automobiles from small series, the Carlsson C25 has not been solely made for its use at the racetrack. Nevertheless, the C25 achieves top results in acceleration and handling. Compared to the racing machines wîth MOT approval, the Carlsson C25 offers its driver smooth journeys on Alpine passes and also on city roads or not perfectly even surfaces.
Maximum exclusiveness is ensured by only one automobile per country
In addition to the extensive refinement, the Carlsson C25 offers the advantage that every Mercedes-Benz dealer can maintain the car. As the automobile is based on the latest Mercedes-Benz technology, it is not necessary to drive to a garage, which is specialised in the Carlsson C25. This gives the Carlsson C25 additional suitability for everyday use. Moreover, Carlsson will only deliver one automobile per country and therefore ensures absolute exclusiveness for its customers.Carlsson creates a perfect symbiosis of design and function
The C25 emphasises this exquisite status wîth its self-reliant and unique design. The elongated vehicle front wîth the tapered lobe between the powerful shoulders craves ahead and the generously dimensioned air inlets in the typical Carlsson trapezoid form supply the engine wîth the necessary ventilation. The ultra-light and forged wheels 1/10 ÚL in the dimensions 9,5x20 and 12x20 inches have been especially designed for the C25 and are equipped wîth high performance tyres measuring 265/30 at the front and 325/25 at the rear live axle. One wheel just weighs 11.2 kilograms and therefore is 40 percent lighter than custom light alloy wheels.Ventilation ducts in front and behind the wheel houses provide the Carlsson brake system wîth 405 millimetres large slotted race brake discs at the front and 380 millimetre race brake discs at the rear axle wîth cool air. With this, Carlsson achieves the perfect symbiosis between design and function. The elongated flat rear screen and the restrained tearing edge on the boot lit as well as the generously dimensioned double diffuser render the required downthrust and therefore the C25 does not need any extensible spoilers. In order to emphasise the uniqueness of the C25, Carlsson has also developed a new rear- and front lights design.
