M ercedes tuner Carlsson likes to name his creations after Kurrven or sections of the Ardennes racetrack Spa-Francorchamps. The C-Class presented at the IAA is nicknamed Rivage. The basis for the Carlsson CC63S Rivage is the Mercedes-AMG C 63 S.
Carlsson CC63S Rivage with carbon fiber aerodynamic kit
Anyone with such a big name has to shine with big data . The Rivage can. The engineers tickle a full 605 hp and a maximum torque of 820 Nm from the four-liter V8 biturbo. The Rivage is supposed to jump from zero to 100 km /h in 3.8 seconds.
An aerodynamic kit made of carbon fiber laminate provides the appropriate racing look. The front is upgraded with a new spoiler lip and newly drawn air ducts. Two L-shaped air guiding panels arranged around the original air inlets add a further accent. The carbon fiber ensemble is supplemented by air duct fins on the front apron, fender attachments and additional sill flaps.
Air outlet covers and further flaps emphasize the rear apron of the CC63S Rivage. A rear spoiler on the trunk lid and a rear apron insert with diffuser are intended to increase downforce. The stainless steel sports exhaust system sticks out its four black and chrome-plated tailpipe trims from under the apron. A flap control allows the sound control. 245/35 or 265/35 tires on 19-inch rims ensure a full footprint. If you want to drive over 300 km /h with the CC63S Rivage, Carlsson advises you to use 20 incheswith 245/30 tires on the front and 265/30 rollers on the rear axle. For the special appearance at the IAA, a blue partial film of the white painted body ensures.
The interior of the Carlsson CC63S Rivage is black and blue. Black leather is combined with a smart check pattern on the seats and door panels. There are also Alcantara applications and contrasting stitching.
