Carlsson Aigner CK55 RS Rascasse with V8 and 456 HP

GENEVA, Switzerland, 4 March, 2009 - Carlsson, manufacturer of special cars based on Mercedes-Benz models, and high fashion leather goods manufacturer, Aigner, are proud to present their third unique limited edition model in the short space of one and a half years.

The Carlsson Aigner® CK55 RS “Rascasse“ completes the family, and is offered at a basic price of 228,500 euros . As with the first two automobiles designed by the Carlsson and Aigner team, the new model is also named after a legendary racetrack bend.

But unlike the Eau Rouge and the Blanchimont, the Rascasse name does not origin from the racetrack Spa-Francorchamps. Rascasse is the second last bend of the Monaco Grand Prix Circuit as well as a famous street café located by the track. A perfect blend of performance, speed and breeding, the Carlsson Aigner Rascasse is also red, tasty, sporting, and carries a sting in its tail.
