So what if the holiday season has come and gone? For
some folks, the season extends longer than just the turning of the
calendar year and in the spirit of this ’extended’ season, German tuning
firm Carlsson has decided to give their CK63 RS some Christmas-themed enhancements.
Their name for it? The CK63 RS Santa Edition. If only Santa used this car instead of his usual sleigh...
The
whole idea behind Carlsson building a specially-themed program was to
build a concept to present something for the season and, boy, did they
ever. The engine specs of the car remain the same as that of the CK63
RS, which means that the car’s 5.5-liter bi-turbo V8 engine saw a
noticeable bump in output, from the standard 557 horsepower and 590
lb/ft of torque all the way up to 652 horsepower and 663 lb/ft of
torque, with the improvements giving the CLS63 AMG a faster 0-62 mph time of just 4.1 seconds.
Likewise,
you’ll also see the same aerodynamic package, one that features a new
carbon fiber front spoiler, a new spoiler lip, a new trunk lid spoiler, a
rear skirt insert and diffuser, and a new set of 20" Carlsson 1/10
Brilliant Edition lightweight alloy wheels. What makes this special CK63
RS so unique is that it’s been dressed with a Diamond White Metallic
paint finish that matches the Nappa Exclusive leather interior trim that
comes with a "Santa Red" color.
According to
Carlsson, a similar specially-themed CK63 RS will be headed to the 2012
Geneva Motor Show this March, which means that we might have more than
just one of these unique bad boys on tap.
