Carlsson revealed today it's ”first own-developed automobile” based on Mercedes Benz SL AMG. the dubbed Carlsson C25 which is set to make its official debut in March at the Geneva Motor Show. Carlsson actually built it’s own limited run super-car using a whole lot of bits and pieces from Mercedes-Benz’ parts bin.Yep, just 25 of these will be produced - one for each country. the new car is powered by a 6.0-liter bi-turbo V12 engine, the Mercedes-Benz SL 65 AMG. Horsepower is said to be 753 with 974 lb.-ft. of torque, propelling the car from 0-62 mph in just 3.7 seconds and a top speed 219 mph.
The drawings still show that the C25 will have its own unique styling personality while the tuner claims that the same goes for the new interior that receives a generous use of real carbon, tanned buffalo leather and ultra-suede in special colors. More details and pricing are to be announced at the C25’s world premiere at the 2010 Geneva Motor Show.
