SL 63 AMG pictures and specs revealed

We really didn’t anticipate that pictures and specs of the next-gen SL 63 AMG would be revealed so fast, but it seems that Mercedes-Benz wanted to jump the gun and release the pictures and details before they get leaked again. Besides the obvious body kit from AMG, the SL 63 will boast an AMG tuned 6.3-liter V8 with 386 kW/525 hp, speedshift MCT 7-speed sports transmission, high performance braking system, sports suspension and much more. The SL63 AMG has already been added to the AMG website. Check out the specs and pictures after the break

Official: The next-generation SL-Class

Mercedes-Benz has finally decided to lift the curtain and publish the official pictures as well as full specs of the next-gen SL. To be honest with you, there is nothing new about the pictures, as they are almost the same ones that have been leaked, but the specs and details are the important ones here. The SL 350 is powered by a newly developed, extremely high-revving sports engine boasting an impressive output of 232 kW/316 hp yet returns a fuel consumption figure that is 0.4 liters per 100 kilometers lower than that of its predecessor (NEDC). The SL range will now feature two six-cylinder models in the shape of the… Continue Reading »

Next-gen Mercedes SL pictures

The portuguese site AutoPortal has posted last week some leaked pictures of the new generation SL-Class. These pictures confirm what we’ve seen before in many spy-shots as well as the leaked photo that we showed you last week. The site doesn’t add anything regarding specs or price but it says that Mercedes should keep the actual engine line-up including the AMG versions (SL63 – 525hp and SL65 – 612 hp).

RENNtech goes bezerk with 695HP CL65

The last few years have seen a flood of 500 horsepower sedans almost pouring out of Germany from BMW, Audi, and Mercedes-Benz. Earlier this month, however, representatives from Mercedes and AMG announced that the “horsepower wars” were over, saying that outright power would no longer be the “main focus” for future sports sedans. Apparently, no-one sent that “war over” memo to RENNTECH. This morning, RENNTECH announced a new “stage 3” tune for the 2008 65 series AMG models, which makes use of what RENNTECH calls “next-generation ECU software” to get 695 hp and 890 lb-ft of torque from the AMG’s twin-turbo V12.

Design: Raciness takes to the road

Agility, vitality, performance – the characteristic attributes of the new CLC are literally written on its face. The front design encapsulates this consummately: the lines generate a powerful appearance courtesy of the wide coupe radiator grille, the centrally located Mercedes star, the projection-beam headlamps extending well into the front wings and the bumper featuring a large air inlet, symbolising at first glance what the new Sports Coupe has to offer – pure verve and dynamism. At the same time, these expressive front design styling touches firmly position the two-door model as a member of the contemporary Mercedes family. Similarities with familiar models are anything but coincidence. The Sports Coupe bears… Continue Reading »
