The German tuner Carlsson has unveiled a new tuning package for the Mercedes E-Class Cabriolet. The new kit is available for the E 350 CDI model and includes a new aerodynamic package and engine updates.
The V6-Diesel engine is equipped with a new ECU C-Tronic DIESEL POWER system that increases the engine’s power to a total of 20%, meaning an output of 280 HP and 648 NM of torque. The engine’s conversion is finished by sport end mufflers with two double-walled stainless steel end tubes.
The aerodynamic package includes a new front spoiler, front spoiler lip RS in carbon, and a new rear spoiler. The tuner is also offering new sports suspension springs that lower the car’s ride by 30 mm. The exterior package is finished by 18" Carlsson-light alloy wheels.
For the interior, the automatic gear shift lever is covered in leather and Alcantara. There are also aluminum door pins and aluminum pedals matched together with footrests.

Despite more stringent diesel emission regulations that go into effect in 2007, Mercedes-Benz will introduce a new diesel version of the E320 diesel this fall. Dubbed the E320 BlueTec, the new Mercedes sedan is powered by a squeaky clean diesel engine that will be available in all 50 states and should provide mileage well in excess of 30 mpg. The 3.0-liter V-6 makes 221 horsepower and gets a sophisticated particulate filter which will allow it to pass emission requirements. The E320 BlueTec will be followed by an ML320 BlueTec, a GL320 BlueTec, and a Jeep Grand Cherokee BlueTec.
