From the racing circuit onto the road - the Carlsson philosophy
Since 2005, Carlsson has being taking part with a CK35 RS on the basis of the Mercedes SLK 350 in the BF Goodrich Long-Distance Cup. It uses this exercise, as with other races it has participated in with different vehicles in the past, to test out new products, which incorporate its vast experience from long-distance motor racing.

Particularly the constant high stresses and strains encountered in long-distance racing lead to the development of more durable solutions, which Carlsson integrates into its road-approved products and which benefit Carlsson customers. The same goes for the CK35.

In the case of the Carlsson CK35 performance kit based on the SLK 350, the modifications express themselves in a boost in engine power by 17kW/23 hp to 217kW/295 hp, which is achieved at 6000 rpm. At the same time, the V6 engine develops a maximum torque of 385 Nm at 4800 rpm, an increase of 35 Nm compared with the series version. From a standstill, the Carlsson CK35 scorches to 100 km/h in just 5.68 seconds (series: 6.1 sec.).

The performance kit includes two sports rear mufflers from corrosion-resistant stainless steel each with two oval exhaust tips, which clearly, but discreetly announce the increased power of the engine. In addition, Carlsson modifies the engine electronics, which it optimizes extensively. A sports air filter supplies the V6 with an extra portion of "breathing air." By overriding the Vmax restriction, the CK35 can travel a full 20 km/h faster, the top speed being 270 km/h. A chrome inscription proves that the modified engine is a genuine Carlsson. The increased torque and the enhanced power-weight ratio (instead of 5.4 kg/hp, now only 5.0 kg/hp has to be moved) are expressed in the superior pulling power and provide the driver with significantly greater driving enjoyment than before. Acceleration from 0 to 200 in 21.12 (series 22.6).

Weight-saving: The two-piece Carlsson wheel 2/16 Brilliant Edition
Carlsson's motor racing expertise is also beneficial to its customers when it comes to wheel rims. After all, what produces a positive effect on the performance of a racing car also has an effect on a normal road vehicle.

The multi-spoke design is the optimum solution for the weight-optimized wheel. The forces that act on the wheel are optimally channeled into the wheel spider due to the uniform spacing of the 16 spokes. This means that it is possible to avoid an over-dimensioned wall thickness, whilst also permitting an optimum wheel weight coupled with the highest possible strength.
