Merc are part of the few manufacturers that would strap twin turbos on a already stupidly power ful engine. I remember hearing somewhere that this V12 could handle absurd amounts of boost before it explodes just imagine the power this thing can achie
If you remember the last sl65 amg it had to mutch tourq and the traction control couldnt handle it im sure its been detuned
Oh that's right it's a V12. Well that's not that impressive considering it's twin turbo? You can get that naturally aspirated expect the torque honestly. SRT gets that N/A with a V10 in the viper..mmm
Or you could get a GT500 that has 30 more horsepower and a top speed of 202 mph at a fraction of the price.
If I was to be brutally honest, I couldn't justify getting this car (however much I adore it) without considering the GTR or California. In fact, I would get a GTR and an older S-class for the same money.
Is he James may or what. I suppose an 787 is the jumbo aircraft that was all over the news sometime ago. Anyway I think the price tag is justified. It's a super rare Amg vehicle that means something in MB's history. I'm sure 45 ppl will agree with me
Does anyone else know the difference between a Boeing 747 and 787 off the top of their head? I'd just say apples and oranges
Are the 45 units for the us or the world? Can be a reason for the high sticker.
This could be a good thing for the SLS. I find it hard to believe that MB would make anything to be more powerful than their flagship supercar. Perhaps they'll make a special edition SLS.
For a hardtop-convertible cruiser for that amount of money, I'll take a Ferrari California. This may be faster, but I think the California would be much more enjoyable to drive/ own
203,000 is the standard price! Really? I'll take a gtr, then keep the extra 110k
I really liked how the previous generation was becoming more and more angular. I initially wasn't a fan of this more curvaceous form, but it's grown on me.
I love this car 100% and those headlight are amazing. At first I was not a fan but like someone said they grow on you.
The headlights sorta grow on you... I hated them but now I think they look good
This looks amazing. Those headlights are throwing it off a little but it'll grow on me.
The headlights look good at one particular angle. If you look at the car in any other way, it look bad
I hate how it looks too much like an SLK. Other than that, It will probably be mind blowing to drive!
Guys, anybody with me about the resemblance of the headlights with 2011 Opel insignia?
I wasn't talking to manish when I made that second comment I was talking about all the guys who compare this to the Camaro to this when this is WAY more luxurious
The point Manish was making Hank, is that this article suggests the Merc is the most powerful car ever made in Germany but the Gumpert Apollo has more BHP. He wasn't getting involved in the Camaro/Chevy etc debate.
Does a ZL1 have adaptive cruise control? Wipers that turn themselves on? Lights that sense other cars? The finest leathers? A bang&olfusen sound system? Seats that heat you, cool you, and massage you? Heater vents in the back of the headrests? No. Be quiet.
@manish I hope that was sarcasm because even the gumpert Apollo shouldn't be compared to this
Guys don't go out of the topic. I think Gumpert apollo is the most powerful German car with power output of 640 hp, 700 hp and 790 hp of three variants.
Im in love ya. very good. makes me happy.
I'm with Paul on this one. I completely agree. It's getting redundant and I have mentioned before myself. Why always bring up a mustang or a corvette or a camaro? It's got absolutely nothing to do.
You guys jay and Brady are just unhappy today... Their yaris didn't start today, lay off
Who the hell compared a chevy to a Mercedes, I'll pick the SL in a nano second
you idiots will compare lap times and prices everyday and dont even track your cars or can afford a ZL1 or not even a base corvette. the people that can actually afford the cars only matter
why do ppl always want to throw the ZL1 out there. they're not even competitors. NOBODY cares if the ZL1 has a quicker lap time. This is a top of the line benz with the same power but 20x the luxury. get them stupid muscle cars out of here
Changing subject abit.... I've been thinking about powerful cars that have come out of Germany. That VW tourage thing with that v10 deisel? And the Audi Q7 v12 diesel? Aren't they meant to be stupidly powerful?
Of course a zl1 could beat this on a track... Well that's because they aren't competitors at all the SL and the Camaro shouldn't even be mentioned in the same sentence. Apples to oranges people
It's stupid comparing camaros and mustangs to this car ! Camaros and mustangs are quite nice cars specially for the cash your paying , but this car is meant for luxurious cruising and am sure being in one of these will feel better than a Camaro .
talking about. People like him drive me crazy.
Jay you're so ignorant, when people go talking like that it means you have a shitty life. I bet you own some piece of shit car and have a shitty life and you're mad at the world, get off your high horse and realize you have no idea what you're
Wow Jay. That wasn't ignorant at all. You need better excuses to hate on American cars.
I was just thinking... Is the gumpet Apollo german?
@brady the mustang and camaro might be 1/4 of the price but they will break down when you drive them out of the dealership they are built by fat bearded people who eat a donut and a burger every minute
@ethan you know the ZL1 pulled 1.03G on the skid pad. That's equal to the mp4-12c. Most of the time, Mercedes tend to oversteer around turns. I bet the ZL1 could beat this car.
It not quicker than a porsche 911 turbo s or the gt2 rs
@Brandon yes it is (thats why the veyron ss is the fastest production car in the world) but the Veyron is French not German.
what about the sl65 amg black series?
Is the Bugatti considered a production car ?
Freakin AMG and their torque!
They are completely different cars, Brady. Nice try though
I wouldn't even say it has a power advantage since there's so much more torque and only a little less HP
Yea, I agree, the SL65 will handle better than any american car. Even though the mustang has the power advantage, this mercedes has the handling, and quality.
Are you being serious Brady. No way does an mustang or a camaro handle or brake better than an SL.
Brady? Did you just say a mustang GT500 handles better than this and is quicker lol did you not read the thread, it's the fastest thing to come out of Germany. That includes the sls and r8 v10
...and for a 1/4 of the price you can get a ZL1 or a GT500 that handles better, brakes quicker, and accelerates faster!
I would've preferred the v8 those amg 8s sound so nasty. 12 cylinders only sound good when you wind em out, those 8s make me smile all the time.
I feel like if mercedes tried to obtain the fastest production vehicle, then they could win easily. They make crazy fast cars!
@shivam... The first comment was ok, but you didn't have to throw in that second comment, that was a really jack a$$ move
Apologises, spelt your name wrong
If you've got an iPhone Shivram, it was built in China, but you wouldn't say it was Chinese, would you?
Aucctally the Mercedes sl 65 Amgen black series produced 661 hp
I read it, hence why I doubted the integrity of the article. Why else would I make the point? The Veyron was concieved, designed and engineered by Volkswagen. It was built in France but it's as German as Frankfurters as far as I'm concerned.
God gave you access to the Internet but forgot to give you some education. Read it well, understand and then comment. Don't prove the world that you are a certified fool.
@Rob Bugatti is owned by VW a German company but it's made in France and according to this article this car is the most powerful to be made in Germany.
It's a Bugatti, so it's french. VAG's ownership doesn't count there...
erm, isn't the Veyron a Volkswagen?
