Mercedes-Benz SL 55 AMG (R 230) and CLK 55 (W 209)
560 BHP Carlsson E 55 CK-RS (pics)
Sporting Limousine: the Carlsson CK55 RS with 560 bhp on the basis of the E 55 AMG
Carlsson has created an even more exclusive and sporting limousine: the CLK-RS with 560 bhp.
Impressive power
Engine output is increased to a powerful 560 bhp / 412 KW with maximum torque of 780 Nm at 2600 rpm, which greatly emphasises the sporting character of the E 55 AMG. Top speed has been measured at over 320 km/h while acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h takes 4.5 seconds..
The Carlsson range for the CK55 RS
The high-grade range of products for the Carlsson CK55 RS includes an aerodynamic package. The rear spoiler and front lip bring about a reduction in lift at the front and rear and fit aesthetically into the overall exclusive and sporting look.
Electronic lowering
For the CK55 RS, Carlsson offers the C-Tronic® electronic lowering system, which lowers the car by approx. 30 mm. The result: a lower centre of gravity, a sporting appearance and reduced aerodynamic drag.
An impressive appearance: ultra-light forged wheels
For the CK55 RS, Carlsson recommends ultra lightweight forged wheels in the dimension 8.5 x 19“ (245/35, Dunlop Sp. 9000) at the front and 10 x 19“ (285/30, Dunlop Sp. 9000) at the back. The 16-spoke wheels round off the sporting and elegant appearance of the CLK-RS and are available exclusively from Carlsson.

Besides that...looks damn good!

I might be wrong though.

You may be right, still just doesnt look luxurious at all. Looks like the cloth interior designs on Honda Civics and CRV's. By the way, nice choice of colors on your 55!
