The wraps have just been taken off the powerful and exclusive Carlsson Super GT Final Edition based around the Mercedes-Benz SL.
On first appearances, the Carlsson Super GT Final Edition bares very few similarities with the SL on which it is based. As such, the brand new bodywork is made entirely from carbon fibre which alone saves 160 kg over the Mercedes-Benz SL while also giving the sports car a unique look.
The front-end for example incorporates redesigned headlights and vertical LED daytime running lights as well as a new bumper and bonnet. At the rear, the Carlsson Super GT Final Edition has been fitted with new taillights and adorned with an entirely new fascia incorporating a different bumper and quad tailpipe design.
Beyond the new design, the Carlsson Super GT Final Edition comes standard with a V8 engine delivering 450 hp. Alternatively, a V12 with a total of 753 hp is available as an option. Elsewhere, the sports car can be optioned with carbon-ceramic brakes, a stainless steel sports exhaust system and a suspension system which can be tweaked through an iPhone app.
Discussing the car, Carlsson’s managing director Markus Schuster said, “Our aim was to develop a Super GT that would be a strong statement of exclusivity, as at home on fast cross country roads or the autobahn as on the daily commute to the office.”
