Carlsson plans a lightweight racing version of the Mercedes-Benz SL roadster. Engine output at least 600 HP and only a weight of 1350 kg. That enormous weight reduction is possible through disassembly of all comfort functions, the roof mechanism and the use of carbon fiber. Already the exchange of the original seats against racing seats saves a weight of 120 kg. The Performance figures are really good: 0-60mph under 4 seconds and a topspeed over 200mph. This car is a real racer.
