Recently, the Carlsson crew is constantly striving to develop new tuning packages for every single model in the Mercedes-Benz lineup. This time the German tuning house has launched a comprehensive package comprising of styling and mechanical upgrades for the GL-Class range. Starting from the design kit, Carlsson has developed a full body kit that consists of a kitschy chrome grille, a front apron with integrated LED daytime running lights, bonnet add-ons, side skirts and a new rear skirt attachment that houses the two oval stainless steel tailpipes.
All this aerodynamic kit is for a hefty €8,499 (excl. VAT) while an extra €4,189 (again without VAT) will get you a set of 22-inch alloy wheels wrapped in 295/35 R22 high-performance Dunlop tyres. Meanwhile, Carlsson has developed performance enhancements for both petrol and diesel variants of the GL-Class that is the CK50 kit (€3,192 excl. VAT) for the GL 500 nudges the V8 petrol’s output from 388HP to 435HP and torque from 530 to 600 Nm.
Also, Carlsson has increases the performance of the diesel models, with the GL 420 CDI producing 354 HP instead of 306HP (€1,299 excl. VAT) and the CL 320 CDI 269 HP, up from 224 HP (€1,499 excl. VAT). To top things off, the tuner has developed the C-Tronic Suspension system that lowers the SUV’s ride height by up to 30 mm while the control unit also recognizes the road characteristics and continually adjusts the remaining spring travel. The system that is for the GL-Class models with Airmatic-suspension costs €1,099 without VAT.
