2007 Mercedes-benz Sl550 Renntech on 2040-cars
Asheville, North Carolina, United States
|
This is my purpose built 2007 SL550 Mercedes....... I purchased this car from Naples Motorsports...... Then, I made it a very cool driver! .....This car was customized to be my daily driver in Naples....We relocated to Asheville & now it stays in the garage.... I started with a non-sport model R230 SL (I hate the metal grid grills on the sport model that always dent and deform) ....... I drove the car over to Renntech and had them install their 20" staggered Monolite wheels (brushed finish) and Bridgestone Potenza tires, ECU upgrade, Carbon fiber rear spoiler & their digital lowering module. Total was around $16,000.00 About 200 miles driven since all the mods. I purchased and installed original Mercedes carbon fiber interior pieces & a custom made carbon fiber steering wheel and shifter knob. $5,000.00 I also have the original steering wheel and shifter knob which I had the wood parts painted gloss black. I installed new Mercedes OEM rotors and Brembo carbon ceramic pads & new Mercedes OEM battery... I've owned almost every exotic car made, F40's, Enzo's, Carrera GT, Porsche GT2, SL65 Black Series, etc.... This little SL is funner to drive than anything I've ever had. Of course It's not supercar fast like my 458 Italia, but it is very quick and handles like a go-kart. The car looks and drives fantastic! No issues of any kind.....The paint looks great (deep shine thanks to my professional detailer) other than some very small nicks from being driven on the interstate. I have $62,000 in this car.... You could get a nice stock SL550 for under $40,000.00 But mine is so much more! To me the R230 model look was perfection....The new ones have flat noses. :( Title in hand Thanks for looking!

New Mercedes-Benz S-Class Coupe spied in revealing state of dress
Tue, 19 Feb 2013During a product briefing earlier this year, Mercedes-Benz told us that 2013 would be the "year of the S-Class." Makes sense, too, since the flagship Mercedes is so very close to finally showing its production-ready face. But the high-tech saloon isn't the only S-Class to talk about this year - quite the contrary. Seen here in decidedly revealing camouflage, the new S-Class Coupe will be joining its four-door compadre in the not-too-distant future, as well.
When it launches, the S-Class Coupe will officially do away with the CL-Class nomenclature. This doesn't come as a huge shock. After all, when the new E-Class coupe and convertible were launched, it officially marked the end of the long-running CLK-Class designation.
Thanks to the interesting camouflage seen here, we have a very good glimpse at how the S-Class Coupe will look when all of the molding and swirly paper are peeled off. Rakish body lines pulled from the CLS-Class meet a much more dynamic front fascia. Out back, there are horizontal taillamps rather than the vertical units used on the current car, and the whole package seems very svelte. Our spy photographer even posits that this will be "the best-looking car from Mercedes-Benz in ages."
Mercedes-Benz A45 AMG shows up to fight the hottest hatches [w/videos]
Wed, 13 Feb 2013Fun coincidence. On the same day that Audi announces the unveiling of its new S3 Sportback at the Geneva Motor Show, Mercedes-Benz steals the spotlight by confirming that the all-new A45 AMG will also receive its official debut early next month. Starting life as the entry-level A-Class hatchback, the A45 AMG gets the full AMG treatment, which includes numerous performance, handling and styling upgrades.
Under the hood sits an AMG-tuned 2.0-liter turbocharged I4 breathing through a sport exhaust system helping the five-door produce 360 horsepower and 332 pound-feet of torque. This engine is paired to a seven-speed AMG dual-clutch transmission and power is sent to the ground using 4Matic all-wheel drive. Mercedes-Benz says that the A45 AMG will be able to accelerate from 0-60 miles per hour in under 4.5 seconds and it will have a top speed of 155 mph; in the land of hot hatches, it doesn't get much hotter than that. For added performance and handling, AMG has retuned the A-Class' suspension and steering systems and equipped The A45 with a three-stage stability control system that is specific to this car.
Surprisingly, the exterior styling of the A-Class was already sporty enough that the new model doesn't receive too many changes to become the A45 AMG. The biggest alterations include black accents to the chin spoiler, rocker panels and mirror caps, black wheels with red-painted brake calipers and rectangular dual exhaust outlets. Inside, it doesn't take a trained eye to spot the differences. The flat-bottomed sport steering wheel and the numerous red accents throughout the cabin (including the seatbelts!) really help to make this AMG interior stand out; front passengers will also get sport bucket seats that appear to be more than supportive enough for even the most spirited driving conditions.
Jalopnik and Consumer Reports see who can pull off the best snow drift
Fri, Feb 20 2015The weather throughout much of the United States is pretty awful at the moment with some combination of extremely low temperatures, inches of snow and maybe some ice underneath it all. The folks at Jalopnik and Consumer Reports are making the absolute best out of a difficult situation by heading to CR's snow-covered test track and attempting to make the longest drift in a quartet of very different performance vehicles. Jalopnik brought along a Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG S Wagon, a Subaru WRX STI, a BMW 228i and a 1973 Volkswagen Baja Bug (heck yeah!) for the challenge. Also, the track was perfect for this group, with a mix of packed snow in places and still a few inches of unsullied powder in spots too. Ostensibly the goal was to get the tail to step out through a particular corner, but in reality this was more about having hilarious fun in the snow with fast cars. The result just looks like the best time humanly possible in this weather.
