Mercedes-Benz is now offering special editions of the SL and SLK, both of which feature a stylish interior with numerous sophisticated highlights. The optional designo magno night black matt paint finish accentuates the exclusive, sporty appearance of the SL Night Edition, while the special designo graphite paint finish makes the SLK Grand Edition a real eye-catcher. Both of these new special models combine the advantages of a roadster with those of a coupe, and are both thoroughbred sports cars and comfortable everyday cars.

Next-Gen Mercedes-Benz SL spied – coming in 2012

mercedes benz sl class 2012 spied1 540x343 Next Gen Mercedes Benz SL spied coming in 2012
First spy pictures have started to appear of the 2012 Mercedes-Benz SL. Codenamed R231, the next-gen SL will remain a coupe-cabriolet as well as halo car for the Mercedes-Benz brand. Car Magazine is reporting that the 2012 model has been co-developed alongside the new SLS, so we might just see some technologies and features included in the new SL model. As far as the engines go, we might see a SL350 – 3.5 liter V6 with 290bhp and a SL500 (probably 550 in the US) with a 5.5 liter V8 and 390 bhp. There will of course be an AMG version as well, maybe with a similar V8 that is found in the new SLS, as Mercedes-Benz has stated in the past that they will focus on developing stronger and more fuel efficient V8, so a V12 is kinda unlikely.

Hein Wagner drives 322.5 km/h in an SL 65 AMG – He was born blind!

heinwagner mercedes benz sl 65 amg 540x175 Hein Wagner drives 322.5 km/h in an SL 65 AMG He was born blind!
Hein Wagner, from Cape Town, South Africa, in search of an extreme adventure has successfully broken his own world land speed record by driving at 322.5 km/h – in the dark. He was born blind, but that never stopped him from going after things that the rest of us wouldn’t even attempt, which includes completing a cycle race and participating in a yacht race from Cape-to-Rio.

In 2005, Wagner set a top of 269 km/h while driving a Masarati, but this time, he was going to set the bar even higher. For this, he got himself the all new Mercedes-Benz SL 65 Black Series, with a twin-turbo 6.0-liter V12 engine, pumping out 661 HP and 738 lb-ft torque. Mr Wagner was accompanied by his navigator, Ray Wakefield, who helped him sprint down the Upington airport in the Northern Cape and achieve a top speed of 322.5 km/h before coming to a safe stop.

1954 Mercedes-Benz 300SL Gullwing in Camo

Nigo, owner of Japanese fashion house ‘A Bathing Ape’, has put a modern twist to a classic Mercedes-Benz 300SL Gullwing, giving it a BAPE camouflage. Word on the street (interweb) is that he had AMG custom build the 1954 SL with custom interior and even install a new 6.0L V8 engine. While Nigo is famous for collecting exotic cars and turning them into something one has never seen before (like a Bugatti Veyron with pink camo) this was certainly an even bigger undertaking, as MB’s own tuner company pitched in.

AMG once again provides the Official F1 Safety and Medical Car

As you might have seen this weekend at the Australian Grand Prix in Melbourne, The SL 63 AMG, as the Official F1 Safety Car, and the C 63 AMG Estate, as the Official F1 Medical Car, are to continue to help ensure maximum safety, this time for the 2009 Formula 1 season. AMG, the performance brand of Mercedes-Benz, will be on duty with the two specially prepared high-performance vehicles at all 17 of the new season’s Formula 1 races. The specialists from the AMG PERFORMANCE STUDIO are responsible for the development, production and servicing of the vehicles.

The Official F1 Safety Car is always deployed whenever the safety of a race is threatened by accidents, adverse weather conditions or other hazardous situations. Sitting behind the wheel of the exceptional SL 63 AMG will be Bernd Maylà¤nder (Germany, 37 years of age). After receiving instructions from the race management, the former DTM driver must go to the head of the Formula 1 field and safely guide the world’s fastest racing drivers around the circuit. Fast lap times are a must for the Safety Car, because otherwise the Formula 1 engines would overheat – and their tyres and brakes would also cool down excessively.
