750 HP Carlsson C25 Supercar Flashed Before Geneva Debut
By Chris Weiss
What would the Geneva Motor Show be without a few uber-limited supercars from European firms you’ve never heard of? This one is the C25 from German company Carlsson. Carlsson began with a Mercedes SL 600 and sought to design a car that offers exclusivity and performance while remaining ‘practical’ enough to drive around the town every day. The performance end is handled by a bi-turbo V12 engine that puts out 753 horses and up to 1320 Nm of torque. On-road that combination translates into a 3.7-second 0 to 62 mph run and a top speed just over 218 mph.
The practicality is delivered through a variety of features that you might expect from a luxury sedan, but not necessarily a power-churning supercar–pedestrian protection, crash behavior, ESP, ABS and airbags. A C-tronic suspension system automatically adjusts suspension based upon road conditions.
As the name indicates, only 25 of these Carlsson’s will be offered. Pricing has not yet been announced. [via WCF]
