Mercedes-Benz S 500 Convertible Carlsson
Diospyros Crassiflora
This luxurious Mercedes-Benz
convertible is wearing Carlsson Heritage Green, a color that creates a discreet
golden shimmer in direct sunlight.
Other exterior highlights are the
diamond grille with the Carlsson logo and the 20" 1/12 EVO wheels which
were developed especially for the Diospyros.
It's
derived from the scientific name for West African ebony, Diospyros Crassiflora as Carlsson applied this exclusive wood generously throughout the cabin.
There's also high-quality Vintage Cognac Nappa leather, which according to the
tuner creates a "perfect symbiosis" with the wood applications.
This is an S
500 Convertible which normally packs 455 PS and 700 Nm of
torque. Carlsson however have increased the output to 550 PS and 800
Nm, though haven't stated whether or not the car is quicker to
reach 100 km/h normally it would need 4.6 seconds.
Prices for the Diospyros start at
€ 214,000 without VAT, but if you really want to go all out with engines and
equipment levels, you could get it up to € 336,000. In other words, about the same as
you'd spend on a Maybach S650 Cabrio.
