The price tag which tuner Carlsson hanged to their limited Aigner CK55 RS Rascasse back in 2009 was € 288.500,- without taxes, a good reason why this car is only built twenty times. Most of these cars went to some mad Chineses, only a few remained inside Europe. Lately the third unique copy was spotted, V12_Screamer was able to capture it in Munich.
The Carlsson Aigner-series is a luxurious series of Mercedeses sophisticated by the tuner. This CK55 RS Rascasse was the third in the row, after the CK65 Eau Rouge and CK65 RS Blanchimont. The central point of attention is luxury at this Aigner-models. Aigner is a leather specialist and provided Carlsson of all interiors for their models. Aigner made use frequently of leather and alcantara, it’s almost like a chic restaurant. Instead of the normal seven, only four people can take place in this GL-Klasse. The exterior of the GL-Class is also completely redefined with a new body kit and enormous 23-inch wheels. The total image if finished with a two-tone paintjob matching with the interior. Then there is the V8, which is modified as this car isn’t based on an AMG-model but the GL 500. The cylinder head and cam shaft are modified, so as the ECU. The result was an increasement from 388 bhp to 456 bhp.
