amgbenz-"New York: Mercedes SL 65 AMG - NR. 3 in the V12-Bund after the s-class and the CL also the SL is equipped with that six litres of large AMG Zwoelfzylinder with Biturboaufladung. Its public premiere celebrates the SL 65 AMG on the cars Show in New York. To the dealers 612 HP strong roadster, to which between 2.000 and 4.000/min a torque of 1.000 Nm keeps ready, will roll in June 2004. According to factory specification kept in track the SL 65 AMG in only 4.2 seconds of zero on speed 100, which 200 km/h mark was already after 12.9 seconds is reached. Only with 250 things the electronic latch plate puts itself forward. For the power transmission the AMG speed SHIFT five-course automatic transmission with additional manual flow programme over steering wheel circuit provides. The increased output of the roadsters of the world required modifications at the transmission components, strongest after Mercedes diction. Thus among other things the clutch lamellas were again developed and a revised switching and transducer bypass logic were used. Special drive shafts, more largely dimensioned wheel carriers and camps as well as special feather/spring steering wheels at the rear axle supplement the change. Series feature strengthens the driver to support the Active Body control chassis with special shock struts and more tautly co-ordinated absorbers. Depending upon characteristic diagram the driver can reduce the **** and pitch motions of the car. In addition for the AMG edition ABS, Brake Assist, ASR and ESP were modified. A high speed brake assembly with brake disks of the dimension 390 x of 36 millimeters at the front axle and 360 x of 26 millimeters at the rear axle is to order to the power as well as the standard electrohydraulical high pressure brake SBC stop. Optically the AMG aMG-Roadster differs by a changed front apron with clearly larger air intakes, which the fresh air supply to water -, engine oil and intercooler to ensure are. Naturally are not also missing the mandatory side and Heckschweller as well as the light alloy wheels with broad tires. Here AMG offers in series 19 Zoeller, which are equipped with 285/30-Walzen with 255/35er-Pneus and in the back in front. In the tail opinion show the darkly sounded tail lamps and the double-flow sport exhaust system with chromium-plated double final pipes, who overhauls straight. In addition, in the interior the SL of 65 AMG drivers is to feel reminded of its investment: There are electrically adjustable sport seats with MEMORY function and seat heating, the combination instrument has 360 a km/h scale with V12 Biturbo signature, the leather steering wheel inclusive switching keys as well as the entrance borders from aluminum exhibits the AMG Logo. Comand system, CD change-over switch with sound system and Bi-Xenonscheinwerfer belong to the standard. Daily know which runs here gibt's the free new type character approximately around car, engine and sport. Date: 06.04.2004/00:01"

 

i read on mbworld.org that someone has placed an order on the cl65 and the price is somewhat around 180k. not sure if that's confirmed already coz' a lot of dealerships want to keep conservative about the prices

 

yeah, im pretty sure its going to be around 185000+, people are selling thier spot for like 10,000

 

god damn that car is SICK! definately in my dream list!

 

Ahh, I guess it's time to let the cat out of the bag. I'm number 3 on the list at the Benz dealership in my area.

















... I wish

 

Ahhhhh, yes. A torque monster. That's what I like to see. Come on, at idle this thing has to be making Viper-like torque!!! Insanity! 111 hp/liter and over 130 tq/liter. Truly one car I won't een TRY to make the reliability argument against. Absolutely stunning.

Gee, Mercedes just COULD take some of the time and money they're putting into these absurd horsepower figures and maybe, just MAYBE, put a little more into some badly needed quality control instead ?

Naw, I guess that would just make too much sense.
