The finished product doesn&#8217;t seem to quite have the ultra-aggressive look of the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/2010\/01\/27\/carlsson-to-premiere-freaky-exclusive-753-horsepower-c25-super-g\/\">original concept sketches<\/a>. It could also be that we&#8217;re not huge fans of the silver, black and orange paint scheme, nor of the brown and orange interior. In Carlsson&#8217;s defense, the color combination was chosen by their customer, and we&#8217;d like to see another version in a solid color and a better choice of interior hues before we declare a verdict.<\/p>\n<p>Even so, the C25 is an impressive beast. Under the hood is a Carlsson-built 6.0-liter twin-turbo V12 putting out 753 horsepower and 974 lb-ft of torque, good for a conservatively listed 3.7 second sprint to 100 km\/h and a top speed of just under 220 mph. To also appeal to potential clients, Carlsson has made exclusivity a top priority, limiting production to just 25 units and selling only one example in each country where they&#8217;re available. As is proven by the car you see here, customers can choose from a near-limitless range of exterior and interior color combinations.
