I'm sure there are some better german speakers than me (come on, I havent spoken german since i was 4!, i still learnt dutch, japanese and English after that!), but i managed to catch this info:
Power
AMG
450PS
Carlsson:
560ps@6100RPM
780mn@2600RPM

Wheels
AMG:
18", 8.5" & 9.5"
Carlsson:
19", 8.5" & 10"
Wheels on Carlsson are actually 3kg lighter

Speed
0-60mph
Carlsson: 4.2s
AMG: 4.6s

0-200km/h
Carlsson: 13.06s - 0.5s quicker than the Werks Tuned Porsche Turbo with 450ps

Top Speed
Porsche: 307km/h
AMG: 250 or 300km (electronically limited?)
Carlsson: 330km/h

Couldnt catch the price, but i think it is the last thing he says in the video - right before he says "woooah!"

Watched it yesterday, I think he said 40k euro's for the conversion. 1 euro = 1.22 dollars at the moment.

Hoe goed is je Nederlands?

Richie, ik kan het verstaan, maar ik spreek het niet so goed

Ugh... That sounds wrong, i am trying to say i understand it, but i cant speak it very well. I spoke dutch at home until i was 10 or so, and then i went back to Holland when i was 14 for 6 months... Lets just say i understand dutch better than german! (and Japanese better than dutch!)
