A little while back we told you about our fondness for the German tuner Carlsson, and the upcoming debut of their new tuning package for the 2007 Mercedes S-Class.
At the time, they also released details of of a new tuning package for the recently-released Mercedes R-Class, but we didn't want to run the story until we had plenty of photos to show you.
The story slipped my mind, but I recently got my hands on some additional photos of the Carlsson R-Class, so without further ado, the details of the upcoming CM50 K.
To begin, Carlsson felt they needed to speed things up a bit, courtesy of a Carlsson supercharger developed in cooperation with the Ogura Clutch Co. The result is a power boost up to 430 bhp/316 kW, 650 Nm.
To enhance the look of the vehicle, Carlsson added 3/11 Ultra Light Wheels, available in up to 23". If these wheels aren't your cup of tea, Carlsson is also set to debut their new 1/11 Brilliant Edition wheel design at the Essen Motor Show, which feature a one-piece 11 spoke design and will be shown in 9.5x20".
To further separate the CM50 K from its standard R-Class brethren, Carlsson then added their trademark body styling, which features a new front and rear apron, as well as new side skirts. To top off the whole package, Carlsson gave the CM 50 K a more agressive stance by adding their C-Tronic suspension, which lowers the vehicle approximately 30mm.
You can check out photos of Carlsson's upcoming CM50 K R-Class below. I've also included photos of an R-Class taken at the SEMA show, which sports the Carlsson body kit and GFG wheels.
