After dressing up the Mercedes-Benz GL500 (the third of its collaboration series with Aigner), German tuners Carlsson now turn their attention to another Mercedes flagship – the E-Class.

Carlsson has added its own sporty touch to the E-Class, which includes a refashioned front apron with vertical xenon LED running lights and aggressive-looking steel grid under Mercedes’ trademark radiator grill, air intakes on the sides, and an integrated diffuser in the rear.

The Carlsson E-Class also comes with a C-Tronic® Suspension kit, which adjusts the ride height in accordance with the road situation. Double-spokes with matt black and silver finishes complete the sporty exterior look.

From June onwards, Carlsson gets the green light to offer performance enhancements to the other regular E-Class models, the E250 and E350 CDI, as well as the top-of-the-line E500 series.
