Rare Mercedes Benz Slk55 Amg With P30 Performance Package on 2040-cars
Alexandria, Virginia, United States
A sports car enthusiast will find everything he/she needs in this 2006 SLK55 AMG and more! It is fully loaded with a navigation package and Harman-Kardon audio system. On top of the SLK55's 355 HP and AMG performance improvements, you will get the P30 performance package - that's what makes this car a very rare MB roadster. This car handles better than any stock car I've ever had and I've owned a Ferrari F355!
Maybe you never knew Mercedes made such an exciting beast or maybe you've been looking for one for a long time -- either way, this car is a marvel of German engineering and a ton of fun and, most importantly, you do not have to sell your house to own it. I would not be parting with it except for a change in lifestyle that requires back seats :).
The car has a clean CARFAX report and all maintenance since 27k miles (I'm the second owner) has been done at an MB dealership. The last 50k miles are mostly highway miles. Rear tires are only a couple of months old, and front less than a year old. Rear brakes and rotors have also been replaced in the last year (this is a major item considering the performance upgrades). There are currently no mechanical issues with the car. Features include: 5.5L V8 engine 7-speed automatic transmission with paddle shift mode Rear wheel drive
18" wheels (5 spoke, not the standard SLK55 wheels) Leather seats Dual-zone climate control Navigation Harman-Kardon sound Bi-xenon headlights Automated roof P30 AMG performance package consists of: Cosmetic: AMG performance steering wheel AMG 18-inch multispoke alloy wheels AMG red brake calipers Performance: Top speed raised to 174 MPH AMG limited-slip differential AMG performance suspension |

Geely plans to launch hundreds of satellites to guide autonomous cars
Wed, Mar 4 2020BEIJING — China's Zhejiang Geely Holding Group said on Tuesday it was investing 2.27 billion yuan ($326 million) in a new satellite manufacturing plant, where it plans to build low-orbit satellites to provide more accurate data for self-driving cars. Geely, one of China's most internationally-known companies due to its investments in Daimler, Volvo and Proton, is building the facilities in Taizhou, where it has car plants. It aims to produce 500 satellites a year by around 2025, with around 300 highly-skilled staff, it said in a statement. Geely's technology development arm, Geely Technology Group, launched Geespace to research, launch, and operate low-orbit satellites in 2018. Geespace will begin the launch of its commercial low-orbit satellite network by the end of this year, Geely said. Geely said low-orbit satellites would offer high speed internet connectivity, precise navigation, and cloud computing capabilities to cars with autonomous driving technology. Geely, which sold 2.18 million cars last year, is among global automakers from Tesla to Toyota to pursue autonomous driving technologies. It is building low-orbit satellites to meet demand for high-speed connectivity capabilities that can deliver fast software updates. From around 2025, Geely's cars will have more functions to connect to the satellites. Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences.

Mercedes spent ˆ250 million to win Formula One titles last year
Thu, Feb 5 2015Success in Formula One requires skill, diligence, commitment and ingenuity. It also takes truckloads of money. In the case of Mercedes in last year's world championship, in which it took both the drivers' and constructors' titles in dominant style, those truckloads came to ˆ250 million last season alone – equivalent to over $285m in dead presidents. A report from Germany's own Auto Motor und Sport details the staggering investment that Mercedes made in order to get to the winner's circle last season. After 15 seasons with McLaren netting one constructors' and three drivers' titles, Mercedes motorsport chief Norbert Haug convinced the Daimler board late in 2009 to take over the Brawn GP team that had just won the championship. Because the team would be getting a large payout from Bernie Ecclestone as the returning champions the following year, and with sponsors lined up, Daimler only had to pony up a small portion of a smaller budget: in 2010 (its first season under the Mercedes banner), the team ran on a budget of "only" ˆ153 million ($175m). Over the course of the following seasons, though, the team's share of the TV revenues from Formula One Management went down as Mercedes struggled to climb back up the standings, but successive advocates (including Haug, Ross Brawn and Niki Lauda) successfully convinced the bean-counters in Stuttgart to ratchet up the payments. By 2012, the budget was expanded to ˆ200 million, and further climbed to ˆ250 million in 2013 and 2014. Fortunately for Daimler, the investment was starting to pay off by then as the team finished second in the constructors' standings in 2013, bringing ˆ74 million in from Ecclestone's coffers to cover roughly a third of the budget. With Malaysian oil giant Petronas alone kicking in upwards of another ˆ30 million per season as title sponsor (as of 2009 when it signed on), and untold millions more coming in from other partners, it looks like the actual cost to Daimler for securing both world titles and a winning reputation was actually more like hundred million or so.
