Carlsson C25 Royale: extreme evolution

The C25 is a Royale supercoupé from 753 hp produced by Carlsson that is exposed in these days in Geneva in 2011, pending its marketing in a very limited. If they do, in fact, only 25 specimens (from which the acronym that indicates the name), of which - according to what reported by Carlsson - six have already found many wealthy owners.

The car is thus, in the eyes of fans of the most exciting characterizations. The starting point is the SL 65 AMG, but you can rightly consider the C25 Royale a project in itself. The weight drops to 180 kg, thanks to the roof and the very broad front cover (the latter being the appropriate size to accommodate the huge 6-liter V12), made of carbon and the use of a braking system carbon-ceramic material - with discs, all ventilated, 405 mm by 380 mm front and rear - that promise to Carlsson, "It weighs half as much attached to the SL65 AMG.

The relationship with the super Mercedes is even more clear by the design of the front grille, air intakes at the side of the large wheel arches that enclose the 20-inch wheels (325/25 tires on the rear and 265/30 front ) and in the slots "broken" horizontal moldings in body color, not to mention the rounded shape of the roof and exterior mirrors.

Under the hood, this is the 6-liter twin turbocharger source well known to fans of the Mercedes three-pointed star. The engine, revised up further developed by the AMG unit (he also developed a new stainless steel exhaust system that culminates in four terminals) develops a power output of 753 hp and a torque value worthy of a truck: 1320 Nm at 3750 rpm (value, however, theoretical, since the torque is electronically limited to 1150 Nm).

The result, on the road, indicating a maximum speed of 353 km / h 3.7 seconds to accelerate from 0 to 100 km / h. Obviously, for the control of so much power and torque, but the framework has received the attention you deserve. E ', in fact, regulated by the C-Tronic Suspension, which electronically controls and fly the stiffness of the suspension depending on the characteristics of the road.

The Carlsson C25 Royale, which was not disclosed the price (it is safe, however, to be ... a lot of zeroes) will be implemented in just 25 copies.
