2013 Carlsson CML Royale Revox

Carlsson’s aerodynamic package for the Mercedes-Benz ML creates a more purposeful and confident look for the CML Royale REVOX, with wider wheel arches emphasising the sporty side of this SUV.

The front spoiler and chrome-plated grille with the Carlsson horse symbol give the car a more aggressive face, with LED daytime running lights that can also be operated as running lights at night. These, and the extra fog and driving lights give the car a distinctive look, day or night.

At the rear, a new apron features cutouts for the four oval tailpipes of the sports exhaust. All Carlsson aero parts are manufactured from high-quality PUR-RIM, and are straightforward to paint and fit.

The by performance upgrades offered by Carlsson actually end up at 625hp and 840Nm of torque, which enables an acceleration of 4,4 s from 0-100km/h and an electronically limited topspeed of 300km/h on on base of the Mercedes-Benz ML63 (500hp and 680Nm of torque on Base of the ML500, 4,6 s from 0-100km/h and an electronically limited top speed of 270km/h).

In addition to increased output for all the Mercedes petrol and diesel engines, performance, Carlsson improves the handling of the CML with its intelligent lowering C-Tronic ® SUSPENSION which can be upgraded with a Carlsson WLAN control unit for individual suspension configuration via an Carlsson application for iPhones, Pads, Pods

Apart from lowering the ride height by 30 mm, reducing roll and pitching in bends, this intelligent system measures the road parameters in relation to the vehicle, altering the suspension rate in milliseconds to optimise handling and ride comfort on poor roads.

The CML uses 22-inch diameter alloy wheels in Carlsson’s five-spoke Diamond Edition 1/5 Revo 2 design. This elegant one-piece alloy wheel came out of the seemingly conflicting needs of a high load capacity, yet low mass to reduce unsprung weight. They are fitted with 295/30 ZR22 Vredestein high-performance tyres.

Carlsson are proud to present a true audiophile experience in this CML, with a bespoke audio system designed around REVOX electronics and speakers.

The core of the system is built into the extra storage compartment under the boot floor, and so does not compromise the normal loading area. This takes the signal from the Mercedes head-unit and runs it through a DSP unit on its way to a 7-channel power amplifier with 6 x 120 W RMS output for the three way speakers, and 1 x 350 Watt RMS for the sub-woofer. In the front doors, a separate 19mm tweeter and 2.5-inch mid-range unit are located in a bespoke triangular shaped housing built into the window fillet of the A-pillars, with a 6.5-inch mid-bass driver in the OE speaker positions. The rear doors use a 6.5-inch mid-bass driver in the OE speaker housings.
