Carlsson calls this a ‘self-developed’ automobile, but one look and you’ll know it still has a lot of Mercedes-Benz underpinnings. It’s probably a rebodied SL, which Carlsson calls the new Carlsson C25, which will debut at Geneva 2010 this March.
The 6.0 litre twin-turbocharged V12 under the hood of the C25 makes 753 horsepower and an insane 1,150Nm of torque, which will take it from 0 to 100km/h in 3.7 seconds. And 1,150Nm is just the limited figure (likely to preserve the mechanical sanity of drivetrain components) – fully unlocked it has a 1,320Nm peak at 3,750rpm.
Seriously, even in normally aspirated form a 6.0 litre engine would be putting out something close to 600Nm which is already going to give you a huge kick in the butt when you put the pedal to the metal. It’s one of my dreams (and probably any motorheads dreams) to experience acceleration from torque in excess of 1,000Nm one day!
The C25 was designed as a ‘Super GT’. It will go into production, but only 25 units will be made. There’s actually something very interesting about how these 25 units will be distributed. Each owner is promised that he’ll be the only C25 owner in his country! Once you buy a C25 in the USA, no one else can order a C25 and register it in that country. This means it will be offered in a maximum of 25 countries.
Not sure what’s preventing some rich guy from ordering one in some weird country somewhere and importing it to his original country though. Anyone wanna bet if there’ll be one in Malaysia?
Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
1st OMG Is looked damn nice !!!
superb rendering!!
nice rendering.. how the actual model will look like?
Those ppl that buys this in Bolehland will be the same one who ask the public to tighten their belt, plant your own veggies, take public transport, save this and that!
I think Jay Leno may get this car.

one word… fugly!
cool ! people will definitely distinguish this from the ori sl600 n fair coz none of us here can drive that car,,i bet on that paul
ass looks amazing…
Ok enjoy wrecking the crap out of your undercarriage in Malaysia.
Why does every of these company keep on ompeting in creating something more expensive? Instead why no one is doing a Nissan creating a car that can rival cars double its price.
Maybe nissan should do a car that can take on the pagani zonda at rm 1mil. that would be an achievement
Pity the tyres to handle >1000 Nm of torque. This thing must be a drift monster. Always oversteer.
hancur bawahnya kalo bawak kat mesia
Malaysians have Euro taste when it comes to cars. Butt ugley Americans, I don't think so..
gila…. mati bukan sebab accident, tapi sebab sakit jantung…..

Asking Proton / Perodua to make a car [LIKE} / at the very least, externally look like this will be like 'preaching into cow's ears'.
Epic failure.
I just hope that the new proton waja replacement model will have a butt like this carlson……………NOT!!
