"German tuner Carlsson has developed a supercar based on the 2010 Mercedes-Benz SL 63 AMG Black Series\u2014the Carlsson C25. The 25 in the name refers to the total number the company will build. In fact, Carlsson says it will send just one car to each of the 25 countries on its distribution list\u2014how&amp;#039;s that for exclusive?   The company has massaged the 6.0-liter twin turbo V-12 to produce 753 bhp and 848 lb ft of torque, enabling the car to accelerate to 62 mph in just 3.7 seconds and propelling it to a top speed of nearly 220 mph.   To distinguish the C25 from the standard SL 63 AMG Black Series, Carlsson has fabricated a new nose, headlamps, front and rear fenders (which feature large air extractors and inlets) and an all-new rear end that includes a revised spoiler, taillamp treatment and lower fascia. The long flat rear window leads into the decklid spoiler that provides enough downforce to preclude the need for an extendable rear wing.   The unique 20-in. wheels, which are forged, are 9.5 in. wide in front and 12 in. wide in back. They cover the car&amp;#039;s huge ventilated disc brakes featuring 16-in. front rotors and 15-in. rears. Inside the C25, the interior has been redesigned to incorporate trapezoid elements that reflect some exterior styling cues. The instruments have been repackaged and turned toward the driver. The cabin features carbon-fiber accents, tanned buffalo leather on the seats and ultra-suede inserts. Unlike the more Spartan Mercedes-model, the C25 does not have racing seats, five-point harnesses and an extremely low driving positon, Carlsson instead choosing to stress the car&amp;#039;s daily driveability.   Carlsson CEO Markus Schuster said the goal was to &amp;quot;deliberately...develop a car which is highly exclusive on one hand and can be used for the daily journal to the office on the other hand.&amp;quot; Consequently, the C25 is equipped with many of the same traction, stability control and safety systems found on luxury sedans.   In addition, the car is equipped with an adaptive suspension called C-Tronic that automatically adjusts to road conditions to provide a smooth and stable ride.
