  • Mercedes-Benz SL63 AMG Motorsport Collectors Edition

    To mark the end of the 2022 Formula 1 season, Mercedes-AMG is presenting a special model of the SL 63 (combined fuel consumption: 13.2–12.8 l/100 km, combined CO2 emissions: 300‑291 g/km)1. It reflects the look of the Mercedes-AMG F1 W12 E PERFORMANCE racing car. The colour graduation from high-tech silver metallic to obsidian black metallic is inspired by the model from the top class of motorsport. The same is true of the star pattern on the vehicle flanks and the PETRONAS-coloured contrasts: these can be found on the front apron, side sill panels and rear diffuser. Added to this are 21-inch AMG 10-twin-spoke forged wheels in a matt black finish with PETRONAS-coloured rim flanges. The electric soft top is in black.

    The AMG Aerodynamics package not only dramatises the appearance: larger flics on the front and rear apron, the larger rear diffuser and the active profile in the underbody improve the aerodynamic properties. The same applies to the downforce and aerodynamic drag. This all brings advantages for the driving characteristics at high speeds and for improved efficiency.

    The AMG Night package and the AMG Night package II enhance the visual appearance of the “Motorsport Collectors Edition”. With the AMG Night package, selected exterior features are finished in high‑gloss black: the front splitter, side sill panels, mirror caps and the decorative trim in the rear diffuser. Added to this are darkened exhaust tailpipes. The AMG Night package II adds further features in black chrome, including the radiator grille, typography and Mercedes star at the rear. In addition, the interior components of the headlamps and rear lights are darkened. The brake callipers of the AMG high-performance composite brake system are also painted black. The AMG fuel filler cap in silver chrome with “AMG” lettering also emphasises the special status of the edition.

    The standard AMG Performance seats are available with two upholsteries: in black nappa leather/MICROCUT microfibre with red topstitching and embossed AMG emblem in the head restraints, or in black nappa leather/MICROCUT microfibre with yellow topstitching and embossed AMG emblem in the head restraints. The AMG carbon-fibre trim harmonises with the heated AMG Performance steering wheel with carbon-fibre rim.

    The Burmester® high end 3D surround sound system, ambient lighting, the MBUX Interior Assistant, the Driving Assistance package and the head-up display are included as standard in this very extensively equipped special model. AMG TRACK PACE provides support with a wide range of data when driving on the racetrack. The Load Compartment package increases everyday practicality, while the illuminated AMG door sill panels welcome passengers with the AMG logo.

    To protect the valuable edition model it is equipped with GUARD 360o. In addition, every customer receives a customised AMG indoor car cover with logo. With its breathable outer skin made of tear-resistant synthetic fabric and an anti-static inner lining of woven flannel, this protects the vehicle from dust and scratches in the garage.

  • Mercedes-Benz SL63 AMG vs Yamaha R1 at 300 km/h [video]

    Nothing is more fun… and dangerous than going on public roads with 300 km/h. Obviously the second part doesn’t bother these two drivers (pilots), who “fly” over two minutes on 2-lane public road with speeds between 250 and 300 km/h. The Mercedes-Benz SL 63 AMG even do a lot more, because when the biker hits 299 km/h and think he will catch the car, the sports roadster shoots forward fast.

    The video is taken from the Yamaha R1 biker’s helmet somewhere in Sweden. Hopefully no accidents happen during this insane race.

    Experienced bikers comment that the R1 can’t pass 280 km/h (real speed), but who cares?! The speed limit is 90 km/h, so going so fast in 2-lane road is outrageous.

    Of course, Mercedes’ fans will love this video, but we STRONGLY recommend: Do not do that!

  • D2Forged Gives Mercedes-Benz SL63 AMG New Look

    One of the most impressive vehicles in the current automotive industry is undeniably the Mercedes-Benz SL63 AMG. With its perfect forms, accentuated lines, unique shape and potent power, the car is surely a true production masterpiece.

    Originally it is powered by the 6.3-liter V8 engine which produces 518 horsepower (380 kW) nearly 800 Nm (590 lb-ft) of maximum torque. Thanks to it this Mercedes-Benz is capable of covering the sprint from 0 to 100 km/h in only 4.3 seconds.

    The tuners at D2Forged wheels have decided to take the vehicle to a completely different level, but for this task they needed the help from the specialists at New York’s Martino Auto Concepts. Thanks to their assistance, they have equipped the SL63 AMG with brand new set of CV2 Deep Concave Wheels.

    To be more precise, they are in 20” dimensions – 20×9.5″ at the front and 20×11″ at the rear. The design of the wheels include Matte Black Center, Outer Lip and Inner Barrel Finish.

    The result is breath-taking, because the modification literally put the car on a completely different planet in terms of looks and stance. In addition, the vehicle has received a full on body colormatched paint job for the reflectors, fender grills, hood vents, front grille, door handles and fog lamp bezels.

    At last, the whole blacked out theme was rounded off and additionally accentuated by Lamborghini Rosso Vic Pearl finish for the brake calipers. They definitely stand out at first glance. All in all, the end result is an all mighty great D2Forged Mercedes-Benz SL63 AMG that looks more than stunning.

  • Celebrities and Mercedes-Benz [part 2]

    Nicole Scherzinger and Mercedes-Benz SL63 AMG

    Nicole Scherzinger drives the exceptional Mercedes-Benz SL63 AMG. This sport car is dynamic and full of emotion (I bet Nicole is too), and all this is because of the AMG 8-cylinder engine with larger displacement. The effect is the development of the whole 525 hp (386 kW) and torque of 630 Nm (465 lb-ft).  The AMG SPEEDSHIFT delivers its innovative 7-speed sports transmission, with which Miss Scherzinger won’t be late for any concert! Nicole’s taste is a great one and obviously she is into cars, which combine the sportiness and spontaneity of a manual gearbox with the comfort of an automatic transmission. This will undeniably ensure that she got all the driving a pleasure! Oh and not to forget the price of the car: it costs around $133000.

    Denise Richards and Mercedes-Benz GL450

    The ex-wife of Charlie Sheen obviously has admirations for bigger cars. She has paid for this beautiful SUV the amount of $80000. For this sum she got one of the best-looking SUV that Mercedes builds. Moreover this car has the luxury V-8 with three rows of seating. However we give an advice to the superstar, which is to look forward to the future with more ”eco”-eyes. This is very easily achievable, because Mercedes offers a very smart diesel – GL320 BlueTec. With it Denise will have the opportunity to show that she cares for the environmental well-being of the planet, just like her colleague – Christina Applegate (for more information see part 1 of the article).

    Patrick Dempsey

    The next celebrity that caught our attention is the movie star from Grey’s Anatomy – Patrick Dempsey.  He has not only one, but two vehicles caring the brand of Mercedes-Benz. We are absolutely sure that he enjoy every summer driving his retro convertible, which adds more to his fabulous status! Unfortunately, he has kept the details about the price for himself. Moreover, he not only got the pleasure to drive this cabriolet, but also enjoys driving another Mercedes car. And this is Mercedes SLS AMG. Here, this “joy” has cost him the amount of $200000. And compared to Eddie Murphy we must confirm that he is more into sport type of vehicles. We also have to highlight the unique design of the automobile (see the Gullwing doors), and to mention the 6.3 V8-powered AMG engine (420 kW/571 hp) that this lovely car has! Applauses for Dempsey!

    Gerard Butler and Mercedes-Benz S400 HYBRID

    Even the Scottish star enjoys driving a Mercedes, and more importantly – a special one! This is Mercedes-Benz S400 HYBRID – the ultimate combination of eco and luxury car! The vehicle is also special because it is the first hybrid from Mercedes. Butler has paid for this environmental-friendly car the sum of $90000. And if you wonder about the engine in this S-Class Sedan, it is being powered by a hybrid system with a 3.5-liter V6 gas one.  The high–power profile of Mercedes is maintained exactly by this hybrid system. In addition the electric-gas combo delivers a total output of 295 horsepower (217 kW), which are channeled through a 7-speed automatic transmission. Definitely Mr. Butler got our admirations for this “green” ride!
