If you’re looking for a way to enhance your Mercedes GL, tuning firm Carlsson today has unveiled the Design RS-Kit for the model, aimed at giving the SUV a sporty, more powerful appearance.  Up front, a front spoiler lip brings the model closer to the ground; a large radiator grille and two bonnet attachments add an air of authority to the GL; and modified headlights and LED fog lamps complete the changes up front.

From the side, key changes include mammoth 22-inch 1/11 Evo Brilliant Edition Carlsson wheels and new side skirts, while a C-Tronic SUSPENSION drops the sport ‘ute some 30 millimeters.  And last but not least, in the back, a new rear skirt attachments is present – the perfect fit for the two oval stainless steel tailpipes of the sport sub-muffler.

If you’re interested, pricing for the Design RS-Kit comes in at EUR 8,499 (excluding VAT), while the C-Tronic SUSPENSION system is priced at EUR 1,099 and the wheels (with Dunlop tires) are priced at EUR 4,189 (again, both excluding VAT).  There’s a number of Carlsson engine enhancements for the Mercedes GL as well, all of which you can find in the official press release below.
