Never the less. The SL65 AMG is one quick car! I was just reading how it is sometimes faster than a Carrera GT in straight line performance. that is no small feat.

Are you sure about that? It weighs a good 1,000 lbs more and has just a little more HP. Got any lap times I could see?

I don't, but you can look at some DTM lap times for comparison. The engine is supercharged as opposed to Zonda (800 Nm torque, the torque curve is almost a straight line from 2000 rpm up to 7000). The speed is _limited_ to 320 kmh!

01] McLaren F1 - Just because there is no other and likely never will be another car engineered like it.

02] Lamborghini Miura - Best looking Supercar of all time

04] BMW E30 M3 Evolution Sport - Last of the originals

And it even has massage seats as an option, how could GT2 beat that!

Edit: the torque in the CL65 is _limited_ to 1000 Nm, it could do ~1200. We lost quite a few wheels/axles (ripped off) during the tests while not being limited...

Alfa 147 i hope....and Alfa GT if i manage to afford one.

thats the list.....

I want to see a supercar besides Chrysler's ME thingamabob with that SL65 engine. That would be very nice.

 

[digitalwanderer]

I've always been a sucker for a cherry '66 GTO convertible. My friend had an old '66 Tempest that we reworked the bejeebus out of and I just like the whole old muscle car thing.

Mitsubishi 3000 GT

It's not the same engine, the ME412 has 4 turbos and 2 throttle valves, 850 hp and 1200 Nm. But yes, I'd like to see it too. Maybe Zonda will go for it, although they've been using non-supercharged engines all the time.

8 ) Maybach 57

Don't! It's the biggest pile of faulty electronics EVER!

Yes I know, but it's just because they let suppliers develop the car from the ground up, not using any available Mercedes tech/architecture and it all had to be finished within 2 years. And that with a completely new architecture! It also has double the amount of electronics of a S-Class. Normally, you'll develop a car for some 4-5 years, test like crazy etc.

Doesn't sell well, I believe not more than ~300 cars this year so far (planned 2500-3000 a year), so the customers obviously punished Mercedes for this failure. Won't happen again, I hope.

BTW, the project manager was "retired" right after the bosses got wind of what was happening, but it was too late already...

 

[Sage]

damn, that's disappointing

i just thought it was supercool because its a frikking WHALE! Over 6000 pounds and 0-60 in 5.2! And with all of that neat crap loaded in it, its just a cool car 8)



too bad its broken

It is a great _car_, but the whole multimedia portion is totally overloaded with unnecessary, buggy features. Hence "faulty electronics". The car has about 60 ECU's, and almost half of that is multimedia/telematics.

Let's see...

Front: head-unit with radio, DVD, TV-tuner, phone, navi, Linguatronic, Teleaid, intercom, audio gateway, universal mobile phone interface, rear-view camera

Rear: 2x phone, audio-video controller, DVD-changer, CD-changer, TV-tuner, antenna amplifier, microphone array, Bose sound system, two displays in the seats (with remote)

Maybe I forgot something, dunno...

They pushed so hard to release the car according to plan and the testing/bugfixing was just half-way through at the time. It didn't matter.

 

[Sage]

ahh okay, so its just some of the fancy gadgetry that is buggy... still, though, you spend ~350 UDS on a car that doesnt do 0-60 in under 4 seconds you should be expecting some pretty nifty gadgetry!

Well you do get it, it was just too much too soon. The issues were there two years ago, I guess they improved lots of stuff in the meantime. I still would go for a nice Rolls rather than Maybach anytime.
