Vredestein marks five years of Carlsson partnership

Vredestein marked the fifth anniversary of its cooperation German premium car styler Carlsson at the Geneva International Motor Show. To this end the tyre brand showed its special Vredestein Ultrac Vorti for the Carlsson C-Class.

Carlsson, the styling specialist for Mercedes-Benz and Smart, has developed a special version of the latest C-Class (W 205). It features unique new design elements in its body and interior as well as a higher engine capacity. With this car in mind, Vredestein has developed a special version of the Giugiaro-designed Vredestein Ultrac Vorti ultra high performance tyre, focused on driving, steering and braking behaviour in extreme conditions and on both dry and wet surfaces.

The front and rear tyres each have a different tread type optimally designed for their own specific tasks. The tyre is also characterised by the unique Carlsson logo on the sidewall. The size of the front tyres is 225/40ZR19, while the rear tyres are 255/35ZR19. The tyres are exclusively available via Carlsson.

Carlsson Super GT C25 on Vredestein Ultrac Vorti R

In addition Carlsson is building only 25 models of the Super GT C25, based on the Mercedes-Benz SL 65 AMG. Carlsson’s model has deviated so far from the original, however, that you have look twice to recognise the vehicle from which the Super GT C25 was derived. The body with lots of carbon is unique, while the interior combines the same carbon with top-quality hand-stitched leather. The tyres are the Vredestein Ultrac Vorti R in sizes 255/30ZR20 (front) and 305/25ZR20 (rear).
