Carlsson wants to tune the Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG Black Series

Carlsson is known for tuning Mercedes-Benz cars, and branding it as a Carlsson, but this time they seriously have outdone themselves. While it’s not a finished project, the specs as well as the illustrations look fantastic. You might say that tuning a SL65 AMG Black Series is impossible, but according to Carlsson it’s not, and that is what they want to prove.

If everything goes like they plan, then the new Clarsson C25 would have a 6.0 liter V12 producing 753 horsepower and 848 lb-ft of torque, which would propel the supercar from 0 to 100 in 3.7 seconds. What’s even more interesting is the fact that they plan to build only 25 of these beasts, and even crazier is the fact that they are limiting just one car per country. No mention regarding the price, but you can bet it will be expensive.

VIDEO: Jay Leno’s ‘The Fast and the Famous’


It is no secret that late night TV host Jay Leno is a “car guy,” so it shouldn’t surprise anyone to learn that the comedian has made a mini-film as an homage to Claude Lelouch’s “C’etait un Rendez-Vous,” (arguably the best car movie ever made) on the streets of Los Angeles.

Leno’s mini-film, “The Fast and the Famous” is shot on a 13 mile route; Mulholland east to Laurel Canyon south to Sunset Boulevard west to Coldwater Canyon north right back up to Mulholland. Leno believes this route to be LA’s “hidden circuit,” and it is coincidentally quite similar to Germany’s Nurburgring Nordschleife circuit. Is it really LA’s hidden circuit? You’ll have to watch the film to be the judge of that.
