Carlsson says it is developing its first own company and badged vehicles produced and it looks so pretty convincingly strong enough to justify the CL to this claim, we reckon.

Only 25 C25s are built, each of which drew from a Mercedes A-743bhp twin-turbo 6.0-liter V12 powered. This year, the entire distribution of C25s is already sold out, according to the chief exec Mark Schuster.

2008 Mercedes-Benz P8

Mercedes-Benz wants to fight Ferrari and Lamborghini with a mid-engined supercar to take on the 360 Modena and recently launched Gallardo. Will they manage to achieve their goal or not? Well, Mercedes-Benz and McLaren are seeking to deliver a smaller, lighter, more focused mid-engined model to slot between the $370,000 SL 55 AMG and the $1 million SLR in performance and price.

“Yes, we are looking at a mid-engined road car,” Mercedes boss Jurgen Hubbert told US publication AutoWeek. “But there is no decision on production.”

Called the P8, the new Benz supercar is officially a concept, which means styling, engineering, logistic, production and cost proposals for the two-seater are under way. The P8’s two-seater body will be made from a mixture of carbon fibre, thermoplastics and aluminium to keep weight down. And its slinky shape is tipped to largely be driven by the wind tunnel, with aerodynamic efficiency high on the agenda to ensure adequate downforce, as well as the need to feed air to vital components.

As for the engines of this model , is belived to be a new 6.3-litre naturally aspirated V8 which might be used in future AMG models, expected to deliver about 400kW. The top speed of the P8 is believed to be more than 320kmh and the price price of P8’s is expected to be somewhere around of $450,000, more than Gallardo and Ferrari 360.

Planned to be built alongside the gulling-doored SLR, at McLaren Technology Center in England from late 2007, the P8 model is still awaiting approval from Mercedes and McLaren board members.

What do you think about this car ? Will it be better than Ferrari 360 and Lamborghini Gallardo ?
