looks stupid

4/11/2007 2:47:38 PM

every time I see a CLK DTM, I have to tell myself its like a poor-man's SLR, but what I'm really thinking is that it's nearly the 'oughties looks-equivalent of those benz convertibles from the early nineties with the testarossa fenders. (I think Shaq had one). The changes are just SOOO incongruous, and it's the least lithe-looking car with that much power at that much money ever. You gotta admit that it's one of those cars that you make a lot of excuses for. If MB offered a fiberglass version of that body for a CLK 350, you'd laugh your ass off and call it the ugliest thing ever...

4/11/2007 2:48:12 PM

DTMS HAVE SMG'S RIGHT?

4/11/2007 2:52:49 PM

4/11/2007 2:56:43 PM

^ What's going on there?

4/11/2007 3:09:55 PM

they built this car to only go in reverse

4/11/2007 3:16:09 PM

what is "reverse neutral"??? would that be forward?

4/11/2007 5:27:11 PM

Park
Reverse
Neutral
Drive

really people its not that hard when the first post says that it is an auto...if you are going to buy that car you should know that the most north position is park and the most south is drive

4/11/2007 7:12:38 PM

dtm =/= amg black

btw... smgs still have a selector like autos from time to time (think ferrari)

nice

wtf did they do to the seats?

the wheels on that red one are kinda old school

2008 Mercedes-Benz C 63 AMG

6.2 litre V8
457 hp
443 lb-ft

This will kill the new M3 sedan, RS4, and the Lexus IS-F, at least in straight-line performance, leaving them in the dust with its mighty torque, 370 lb-ft of which is available from 2000 RPM.

Expect this baby monster to do 0-60 mph in 4.2 sec!

Also expected to do much better than other AMGs on the track, as it is the first AMG in which the ESP (electronic stability program) can be completely turned off.

3 generations back, the C-Class AMG was the C36 AMG, and now it is the C63 AMG! I bet two generations later they will stuff the 65 AMG motor in there!

7/5/2007 7:31:26 PM

but you still cant completely turn off the stability control

C63 AMG First Drive by Edmunds:

They seem to love it on the track, and are full of praise for it. And the car is truly gorgeous.

call me when AMG stops making cars with an automatic tranny & open differentials

"this car has 950 zillion horsepower and it all goes to a single 255/15/r22"

7/6/2007 3:27:29 PM

well from the article you can completely turn off the stability control and the sport model has a LSD

Mercedes SL Black Series Spied

Quote :

"A prototype for the Mercedes SL Black Series has been spotted on public roads around the Nürburgring, in preparation for some hot laps later this week. This is the most wicked SL ever conceived, with optimum performance its top priority. Huge flared fenders are likely created with ultra-light carbon fibre, to reduce weight and to accommodate this car's enormous wheels and tires. The roof on this SL has been converted into a fixed coupe roof, also crafted in carbon fibre to lower the Black Series' center of gravity and further reduce weight. Exactly what engine mods have been employed here are uncertain, but you can be sure it's insanely powerful."

9/24/2007 7:36:21 PM

goddamnit merc that thing is actually sexy.... give it a fucking 6 speed and i'd be a huge fan.

9/24/2007 8:17:18 PM

A Black Series SL should have nothing less than 650hp. Given the power of the SL 65 I wouldn't rule out 700hp. The problem with transmissions though is that Mercedes doesn't produce a manual tranny that can handle that power. Could they outsource? Of course, but its doubtful they would

9/25/2007 1:33:13 PM

Saw one of these at the Nurburgring last time I was there, and I think they look absolutely hideaous...
Ahmet

9/25/2007 2:07:21 PM

just noticed the first picture, the camera sensor was dirty...

9/25/2007 4:50:07 PM

getrag or borg warner i don't give a shit.

9/25/2007 5:16:29 PM

i think it would look a million times better with out that wing.

9/25/2007 5:23:36 PM

the last wing looks terrible but the side view wing looks awesome.

+ isn't it supposed to be dtm esque... which means more wings than a mexican's civic

9/25/2007 5:46:51 PM

New SL spied without disguise for first time. Sports CLS style headlights.

11/26/2007 5:53:34 PM

fuuuuuuugly

11/26/2007 5:58:53 PM

agreed. those headlights seem awkward on the SL as they are. with some modifications to their design, they could look nice. but still current split headlights look better.

11/26/2007 6:01:18 PM

Mercedes only redoes their SL model every 8 years or more, so I'm doubtful they're doing a complete revision. I hope to God they're not considering putting that front on the current model (since nothing else looks different in those spy shots).

However, if they're doing this I blame the gay as shit European Pedestrian law with required hood heights, UGH

11/26/2007 6:17:52 PM

no, not a new generation. just a mid-life major face-lift to last from 2008 for a few years.

new gen out in 2012... wonder what that will look like!

11/26/2007 6:21:52 PM

hooray for 500hp and probably 12's in the 1/4 mile

11/28/2007 3:00:01 AM

^what model are you referring to? Most AMGs can do low-mid 12s, some 11s so I don't think it'll be a problem with whatever you're referring to

11/28/2007 1:12:24 PM

I like the current style better.

Did anyone see Jason Plato drive the CLK63 on Fifth Gear this week? I wasn't very impressed.

1/22/2008 11:01:48 PM

hey patrick, when you gonna get one? you've got plenty of money now living up north. shit would look great cruising the streets of new york.

1/23/2008 9:37:18 AM

LOL, man I can barely afford to have any car up here, nor do I want to have a nice one. Until I can afford $500/month to put my car in a garage (never will I earn enough to justify something so ridiculous) I won't have a very nice car up here.

Instead, I'll wait till I live back in NC

Spy Shots: Details on the Mercedes-Benz SL65 Black Series

HOLY SHIT

Quote :

"CAR was able to get the exclusive details on the SL65, which is being built in cooperation with HWA, the same folks who develop vehicles for the DTM/German Touring Car Championship. That means that prodigious power is only the tip of the iceberg. But to be specific, 670 hp and 737 lb.-ft. of torque will be squeezed from the supercharged V8, with torque being limited to 555 lb.-ft. in first and second gears to avoid all the oily bits from being strewn across the tarmac. The Black Series will be around 550 pounds lighter than its pedestrian counterpart. To make sure that absolute power doesn't corrupt absolutely, the price of the SL65 Black Series is set around £193,000."

Mercedes SL 63 65 AMG - In Detail

http://www.worldcarfans.com/9080208.004/mercedes-sl-63-65-amg---in-detail

Utterly gorgeous... but those small side grills (front AND back of front wheel) look better in the current iteration. In fact, they doesn't even look like proper grills now. Looks like there is a cover on the grills. Looks weird.


SL 63 AMG
6.3 litre NA V8
525 hp
465 lb-ft
0-60 mph ~ 4 sec

SL 65 AMG
6.0 litre TT V12
612 hp
738 lb-ft
0-60 mph ~ 3.8 sec









SL 63 AMG











SL 65 AMG












Here is what I mean by the grills being covered... see below for the grills on the current outgoing SL 65 AMG.

2/9/2008 10:31:23 PM

SL 65 AMG Black Series will have 670hp and weigh 570lbs LESS than the other SLs.





It will also have a fixed roof and not the retractable hardtop. $225k and a horsepower to weight ratio of 1 hp per 6.1 lbs.

Craziness!
