The CL63 AMG, the lesser of two powerful large AMG-tuned Mercedes-Benz coupes, sits somewhere between excessive and grandiose on the scale of high-end cars. With 518 horsepower on tap at 6800 rpm, the nearly 4,500 pound two-door Mercedes-Benz is hardly sluggish, despite tipping the scales at about double what a subcompact weights. 465 pound-feet of torque from the 6.2 liter V8 and a 7-speed automatic transmission help ensure that the CL63 has ample power in any situation.

New for 2008, the CL63 upgrades the basic CL-Class, introduced for 2007, with the standard range of AMG tuned sporting cues, including a lowered sport suspension with active body control, a unique look inside and out, 20' wheels (versus 18' wheels otherwise), performance tires and a few additional standard features, like ventilated and massaging front seats.

As a part of Mercedes Benz' victory during the year of 1955Mille Milgia, the manufacturer built the Mercedes Benz SLR McLaren 722 Edition. According to the experts at the company, the name was actually based on the starting number that was given to the Mercedes Benz 300 SLR. There is something special about the Mercedes Benz 300 SLR that this vehicle was that that putted a milestone and a new wave of victory for the company when it was driven by Stirling Moss and Denis Jenkinson.

The all new Mercedes Benz SLR 722 Edition has all the qualities of an ideal racing supercar. It is refined in many respects and this lovely sporty car has more output, a tailor-made suspension configuration and an unquestionably lavishly designed interior meeting all the sports need.

The Benz once again rocked the automobile industry and it continued its tradition of serving the best. The all new model Mercedes Benz SLR 722 Edition is homage by Mercedes Benz to the memorable victory won by the British racing legend Stirling Moss and his co-driver Denis Jenkinson in a Mercedes Benz 300 SLR with starting number 77, indicating a start time at 0722 hours at the Mille Miglia in the year of 1955.

The idea was derived from there but in this brand new version of the sporty car, the supercharged with 5.5-litre V8 engine. This powerful engine is hand-built in the AMG engine shop in Affalterbach and generates 478 kW and 650 hp. The kind of force or response you get from this high-performance engine is magnificent and it is an immediate response to movements of the accelerator. The response also brings the unique combination of your foot’s gentle pressure on the accelerator, roaring sound of V8 engine and highly emphatic torque buildup.

The performance from this swift runner Mercedes Benz SLR 722 Edition is containing amazing figures that are even outstanding for a high-end sports car. Mercedes Benz SLR 722 Edition accelerates from standstill to 100kmph in just 3.6 seconds and amazingly, it can shoot you up to 200kmp in just 10.2 seconds. The company claims that Mercedes Benz SLR 722 Edition can climb the figure of 337kmph as its maximum speed, quite above the 334kmph that was achieved by the previous version of SLR. The measurement of the car goes 181.6 X 74.4 X 48.8 inches in length, width and height respectively. This gorgeous sports car weighs about 3800 lb or 1724 kg.

You have an excellent grip of this sexy sporty car on the track you drive it on. Handling characteristics are worth for the racetracks meeting all the requirements for one to be winner. The Mercedes Benz SLR 722 Edition is provided by the sophisticated suspension along with broad 19-inch light-alloy wheels. It has a stiffer damper configuration and a 10-millimeter lower body that has solid grip on the road due to its flat base. The larger disc brakes with a diameter of 390 mm ensure excellent braking advantages and still your car within few meters even though you are on high-speeds.

An astounding Mercedes Benz SLR 722 Edition will drive you like an F1 car with its sneeze and you changed direction type of steering and this sporty car gives the kind of ride quality you will need to keep you alert in a 70 lap car race! The sleek and trimmed body of the car is extremely composed at high speeds and it has a practical sized boot. The performance you get out of your dynamic Mercedes Benz SLR 722 Edition is breathtaking as you shall expect and while the entire world is left far back in its stayed and governable plod along, you have might have jaw dropped with its realm of the lightning speed in just few seconds.

There are certain features that support the car to gain high speed with minimum resistance to the force of the wind. The entire model of this sports car is designed aerodynamically, it might as well be a diamond-encrusted bullet and because of that special front spoiler and proximity to the tarmac, Mercedes Benz SLR 722 Edition's grip to the track is nothing less than the magnet.

It goes without saying that Mercedes is fair enough in their part safety and security in any of its product or model. They would hardly cut any corners with their half a million Flagship models across the world till today! The basic security amenities would surely include steel-reinforced pillars, carbon fibre crash elements, rollover bars etc. The car is also secured with airbags and seatbelt pre-tensioners.

If you are always interested in some smart business, this is something interesting to know. If you are already owning a Ferrari 599 GTB and therefore already have an exciting outing lined-up, what if you are used to the smooth and exhilarating handling and the way you might feed the steering wheel instead of it biting you back, let us know something here. Why to have carbon fibre when one can get practically the equal performance with an aluminum monocoque? Here, you can obviously do that. It can be almost double the price but it surely is exotic, besides how many other shmucks will be getting Ferrari!

Mercedes is well known for its customer service and hospitality. Probably that is why, most of the costumers or Mercedes car owners feel proud to have the product and they are fully satisfied with the great service the Mercedes provide to them. Each of the customers is treated personally and each query or feedback is handled carefully. Therefore, before the sales release date of Mercedes Benz SLR 722 Edition, customers and some selected people would have the advance opportunity to appraise the new sports model. That was to mark the foundation of the worldwide 'SLR Club' at gorgeous Circuit Paul Ricard in Le Castellet, Southern France.

This is an exclusive community in which, SLR customers automatically become members, this biggie club offers an attractive platform for many glorious and outstanding events those are related to the entire SLR series.

Mercedes to unveil zero-emission sports cars

Mercedes Benz are about to offer the perfect vehicle for people who like their cars to be fast, but at the same time are conscious of the environmental impact they are having by driving them.

A press release issued on Monday announced the Mercedes Benz SLS AMG electric drive; a sports car running on four electric motors producing zero emissions. The car sports a 400-volt liquid-cooled lithium ion battery that is recharged through breaking, but at the same time can power the four motors to produce a 0-62mph time of just 4.0 seconds.

Volker Mornhinweg, Chief Executive Officer of Mercedes-AMG GmbH, said:

With the SLS AMG with electric drive, we wanted to redefine the super sports car … For us, it is not just about responsibility. We attach just as much importance to excitement and classic AMG performance.

The positioning of the electric motors and two transmissions near the wheels, combined with several battery modules positioned along the center of the car, allow the SLS to have a very low center of gravity resulting in a sports car with great handling. The combined power of the motors results in 517bhp and 649lb of torque.

The new car will be unveiled in September at the Franfurt Motor Show along with the new non-electric SLS.

Matthew’s Opinion
I find it hard to believe Mercedes has made such an advance that it can produce a sports car powered by nothing other than electric motors that recharge from breaking alone. I expect further details will reveal a standard engine as a backup and further charging required from the mains between journeys.

Regardless of the questions about recharging though, managing to create a sports car running on electric motors bodes well for the future of zero-emission cars. We just need a better way of powering these cars beyond the lithium ion battery we rely on so heavily today. Replacing that with a fuel cell or similar power source will surely put electric car development into overdrive.

Mercedes SLS AMG supercar will come with 526bhp battery power as well as a V8

The new Mercedes SLS AMG supercar gets its big unveil at the Frankfurt motor show in September, and it’s set to be quite the technology fest.

As well as a 564bhp 6.2-litre V8 version there’ll be an all-electric SLS. It’s a bold move for Mercedes and AMG, but it doesn’t mean they’re belying their performance focus – power comes courtesy of four electric motors, with 526bhp and 649lb ft on tap. Those figures aren’t far short of the petrol SLS, and with thrust likely to arrive from zero revs, it’ll probably feel more powerful. The 0-62mph dash arrives in the same circa 4sec as the V8.

Those motors are cleverly applied, too. There’s one positioned beside each wheel (rather than in the hubs), reducing unsprung masses. It also means the car’s effectively all-wheel drive, with a transmission at each axle and torque vectoring sending power to the wheels that will use it best. It’ll means the electric SLS could have quite a different character to previous AMGs that send copious amounts of power to the rear wheels.

The 400-volt lithium ion battery is recharged by way of energy recuperation during braking. In its current early stages it’s not known what range will be like, but it’s likely that plugging your SLS into the mains will be another source of recharging.

Dynamics should be pretty sharp, too, with a low centre of gravity achieved by placing the battery and motors very low down in the car. Weight distribution should be fairly close to neutral, too. Impressively, no changes have had to be made to the gullwing car’s aluminium spaceframe chassis to accommodate the new setup.

While the petrol SLS is due next year, expect another few years to pass before the electric version comes to fruition. It could signal a stable future for high power AMGs, though. Volker Mornhinweg, CEO of AMG, said – ‘With the SLS AMG with electric drive, we wanted to redefine the super sports car. For us, it is not just about responsibility. We attach just as much importance to excitement and classic AMG performance.’
