 Carlsson New E-Class Tuning Program In Detail
Carlsson 2010 E-Class sedan W212 tuning program

Tuning package includes 20-inch wheels, aerodynamic kit and increases in power

German tuner Carlsson has some ideas for the new Mercedes E-Class it would like to share with the world. You know, just a few redecorating touches here and there and maybe a little extra hot sauce for under the hood.

Carlsson will this week be showing off its tuning package for the E-Class and it all starts with a aerodynamic kit made of PUR-RIM (polyurethane), a lightweight material. The kit includes new front and rear aprons, integrated rear diffuser framing four stainless steel exhaust pipes, side rails and a spoiler at the back. Carlsson's redesign also includes vertically adjusting xenon-lights, LED daytime running lights, a stainless steel grid beneath the new radiator grill all providing a new face for the E-Class.

There's also the C-Tronic suspension system, which can lower the car up to 43 mm and continuously adjusts the tension to accommodate the road and provide the best combination of ride comfort and sportiness.

On the menu too are the new 20-inch rims in a 5-double-spoke design in matte black.

On the inside are studded aluminum pedal layers and foot rests for better floor grip. Available as an option is a gearshift knob dressed in suede-leather as well as aluminum door lock bolts. Carlsson labeled floor mats are also included.

For under the hood the docs at Carlsson are prescribing 40 extra horses on the E 250 CDI BlueEFFICIENCY and 46 for the E 350 CDI BlueEFFICIENCY. For the heftier E 500, there's the CM50K full exhaust kit which includes racing headers, high-performance catalysts and stainless steel mufflers providing a 55 hp increase in power output.

The E-Class by Carlsson will be on display at the Tuning World Bodensee in Friedrichshafen which takes place between April 30th and May 3rd.

World premiere: Carlsson presents the new E-class on the Tuning World Bodensee

  • Perfect symbiosis between sportiness and elegance
  • Entire aerodynamics kit by head designer Rolf Schepp
  • Intelligent lowering adjusts to the road
  • Revolutionary wheel 1/5 REVO in 20 inches 
  • Three years Carlsson warranty

The new E-class by Carlsson celebrates its world premiere at the Tuning World Bodensee in Friedrichshafen from April 30th until May 3rd 2009. With the new E-class, the automobile manufacturer has combined sportiness and elegance to a harmonic symbiosis.

In former times, thorough-blood race-horses where bred at Gut Wiesenhof in Merzig/Saarland - today it is the Carlsson headquarter and production location for the new sportive Carlsson E-class. Carlsson transfers this history-laden origin to the new model of the upper medium-class.

The new aerodynamics kit which has been elaborately developed by head designer Rolf Schepp, immediately attracts the attention. The Carlsson Mercedes has an entirely newly designed front apron with vertically adjusted xenon-light LED daylight running lights and a stainless steel grid under the gracefully built radiator grill.

The rearing Carlsson horse is an epitome for power and class

The rearing horse is placed on the sides of the completely re-engineered front wings: A Carlsson hallmark an expression of power and class. The side rails enhance the re-engineered dynamic design vocabulary at the sides. The rear apron attachment with the integrated diffuser which is framed by four stainless steel end pipes and the unobtrusive rear spoiler further perfect the sporty appearance.

The entire aerodynamics kit is made of polyurethane (PUR-RIM) which does not only guarantee a perfect fitting accuracy and highest stability, but also a very light weight.

During sporty tours, the driver of the new Carlsson E-class profits from the intelligent lowering kit C-Tronic® SUSPENSION, a state-of-the-art technology. It does not only lower the automobile by up to 43 millimetres, but also continuously adjusts the remaining jounce travel to the road situation. Therefore, the control module always finds the perfect combination between sporty and taut adjustment and optimal travelling comfort.

With an enormous self-confidence and strength of character, the wheel model 1/5 REVO harmonises with the new Carlsson automobile.  The even double spokes of the unicoloured rims measuring up to 10.5x20 inches consist of a matt black and a matt-varnished gloss-turned silver strut each.

And the Carlsson R&D engineers consequently continue their work in the interior. Safe grip is provided by brushed aluminium pedal layers which can be obtained for either automatic or gear-shifted engines and by perfectly cut foot rests. In combination with the entirely newly designed foot mats with an integrated white-lit Carlsson logo, this renders a perfect ambience for the interior. Of course, also a tailor-made gearshift made of an ultrasuede-leather combination and door lock bolts made of turned aluminium are also available. 

The automobile manufacturer Carlsson is approved by the German federal motor transport authority and provides performance enhancements for the models E 250 CDI BlueEFFICIENCY (40 hp extra performance) from June and for the E 350 CDI BlueEFFICIENCY (46 PS extra performance) from July on. Carlsson offers the compressor kit CM50K including an entire exhaust system with racing header, high-performance catalysts and stainless steel mufflers for the top model E 500 (55 hp extra performance). 

Perfect quality - always with a three-year warranty

Carlsson knows about the quality of its own products and therefore extends its own warranty. Since April 2009, Carlsson offers a three-year-warranty for all automobiles and products, regardless of whether a new or used car is concerned. Together with the Mercedes Benz Manufacturer Warranty, Carlsson offers a three-year safety for the entire vehicle. As it has been confirmed that all Carlsson products are equipped with OEM-quality parts and their safety was underlined by Mercedes, fitting Carlsson products does not lower the Mercedes Benz Manufacturer Warranty. Therefore, the Carlsson warranty perfectly amends the protection for the automobile. In order to view the exact warranty guidelines, please visit the web site www.carlsson.de.

I don't care what anybody else says...This new E-class looks like a 2006 Cadillac CTS with this kit on it. I hate it with a passion. Look up a CTS and you'll totally agree. http://cadillac-review.blogspot.com/2007/12/cadillac-cts.html

Why does no one seem to remember that Mercedes came out with the double headlights before Lexus?

The front is actually a '04 Nissan Cedric and the back is actually a '89 Nissan Q45. Aside from the badge when styling is the only thing they're good at and almost 7 years in the making??? this is the result, a total disappointment. And I'd still say their engine and electronics are 10 years behind Lexus. If not for the mark, they are probably history.

Why everyone is skeptical about the E class, its a brilliant car, ok i agree the back looks japanese but the whole thing deserves respect. There are many things underneath this body thats worth all other cars.

Nice kit, but no add-ons can hide the hideous rear lights.
