Let’s just hope it drives more like the CLK63 Black than the SLK55 Black…

Fasthonda? what do you mean “Mercedes look like they don’t have the engine technology to make that power without turbo or supercharging;a view I have held about Merc. for a long time.”?

Who does have the technology to make that power and torque WITHOUT turbo’s or superchargers in a production car? No-one!

Given that you can count the number of cars on one hand that make 1000Nm its not hard to see that all the production cars with these outputs use either turbo or supercharging or both. And this car is driveable on road, not like a typical race car.

I say well done AMG, and when can we see one of these tackle the N’ring.

I knew it wouldn’t take long for someone to mention the GTR is faster to 100.

Try getting a car with over 1000nm of torque, and only 2WD off the line fast.

So what if it’s turbocharged. Turbos are a great way to get more power and save fuel so you can break the speed limit for longer without filling up (not that I recommend breaking the speed limit (and this is clearly designed for the track))
