    New Mercedes S-Class Tuner from Carlsson to Debut at Essen

    Those aftermarket technologists from way down by the River Saar, Carlsson, will unveil their newest Mercedes tuning job, the CK50, based on the 2006 S-Class, at the Essen motor show next month. On the performance side, the relatively mild engine kit boosts horsepower of the stock 5.5-liter V8 to 429 US (435 metric) and 443 ft.-lbs of torque, from 382hp and 391 ft-lbs. In the jewelry department, a tasteful set of skirts and spoilers (I think we've been to that bar) and the company's new 3/11 ultra-light wheels make up the outside adornments, while the interior can be done up in Alcantara and leather if Mr. Moneybags desires.
