Carlsson Car Wallpapers and Pictures
Carlsson is a German car tuning manufacturer specialising in Mercedes-Benz cars. The Carlsson tuning house was founded by brothers Rolf and Andreas Hartge in 1989. Carlsson’s products are available for the entire current range of Mercedes-Benz models including the R-Class, SL-Class [, C-Class and the GL-Class along with many others. The company is most popular for its range of alloy wheels.
Through a new importer Carlsson began a more aggressive push into the US market in 2006 after debuting their newly modified CL500 (Euro-spec) vehicle at the 2006 SEMA Show. In their review, Modified Luxury & Exotics magazine said, “… the CL is starting to resemble something more in line with a Bentley Continental – even if it is a little shy when it comes to horsepower.”
In 2007 Carlsson began a coachbuilding program with fashion designer Etienne Aigner. The first example of their work together was a coachbuilt Mercedes CL65, titled the Carlsson Aigner CK65 RS “Eau Rouge.” The “Eau Rouge” refers to the famous turn at the Belgian race track Spa Francorchamps. Producing 700 hp (520 kW) from Carlsson’s engineers the car has a two-tone paint scheme and features a hand crafted wine-colored interior from Etienne Aigner.
