Top 10 Custom Cars of the 2014 Geneva Motor Show

6. Carlsson CS50 Versailles

Mercedes-Benz is moving to a more homogenous style with its new products. The CLA looks like a downsized CLS while the C-Class shares much of its styling with the more expensive E- and S-Class sedans. That might be a boon for buyers on the low end, but people springing for the six-figure full-size flagship might wind up feeling jilted when they realize that there isn’t quite as much to distinguish their car from other than cost half as much.

There are plenty of ways to solve that problem and for Carlsson, the answer is golden. They are showcasing the CS50 Versailles in Geneva: an S-Class partially covered in gold leafing. That application continues in the interior. The company plans to build 25 copies of the car, which is being aimed at customers in China.
