Completely rebuilt, this SL65 is a custom masterpiece. To start, the car is fitted with a Prior Design Black Series Widebody kit. This is not a bolt on bodykit. This is a highly intricate, and extremely precise install, converting the standard SL to the looks of an SL65 Black Series. Wider fenders front and rear, new sideskirts, front bumper, front carbon fiber lip, rear bumper, rear carbon fiber diffuser, rear decklid, and hood have all been upgraded to create the look. To further make finalize this look, the car has been upgraded to R230 v2 headlamps (2009 and newer), and SL63 AMG Tail Lights, with the smoked center portion. After fitting the kit, the car was resprayed in Ferrari Grigio Silverstone by the infamous StrasseSport in Los Angeles, CA. The end result: one of the prettiest SL’s in the world. The suspension has been slightly modified with the use of Adjustable Links, and a factory calibration via the SDS System at a Mercedes Benz dealership. To finish it off, the car is on a set of custom Forged D2 Forged wheels finished in matching Grigio Silverstone with a Polished lip. The 3 piece concave wheels look massive on the car, and show off the Verde Ithaca Painted AMG Brakes perfectly. The pads have been changed to Ceramic to keep the stopping power high and the brake dust low! The car rolls on 265/35/20 and 325/25/20 Pirelli P-zero Tires. Performance wise, the car has had it’s ECU upgraded, as well as a resonator delete. The sound and performance of this car are breathtaking. It sounds more like a speedboat then a car, and the pull due to the almost 700 horsepower and 850 foot pounds of torque is intoxicating. It is not a car for an amateur, and in the wrong hands, could be deadly. Make sure you keep the ESP turned ON! Lastly, the interior of the car from Mercedes Benz is so close to perfect, that it didn’t need much to make sure it had as clean as a presence as the exterior. The Burl Wood has been replaced with Carbon Fiber everywhere, which looks phenomenal. The door panels and center console weave ties in great with the dark Natural Gray Full Leather of the car. The Shift knob has the slightest accent of Verde Ithica, which was done to subtly tie into the brakes.

Next Aston Vantage will be the only way to get an AMG V8 with a stick

Tue, Mar 29 2016

With only a few exceptions, most of them factory customs, AMG hasn't built cars with manual transmissions. It just isn't the way things are done in Affalterbach. But now that Mercedes's in-house speed shop will be supplying engines to Aston Martin, the world will be treated to cars with three pedals and overengineered German V8s wrapped in a pretty British package. We're into it. The news comes from Car and Driver, which spoke to Aston Martin CEO Andy Palmer about the new Vantage among other things. Palmer confirms to C/D that the Vantage will continue to offer manual and automatic transmissions when the next-gen car arrives featuring the AMG 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8. In its most potent form, the eight-cylinder makes 503 horsepower and 479 lb-ft of torque in the AMG GT S. Figure on a little more from the Aston-ized version, just for fun. The current V8 Vantage GT makes 430 hp and 361 lb-ft from its naturally aspirated 4.7-liter. While some may lament the new engine's forced induction, that added power and the thoroughly modern behavior of the AMG engine should be welcome. While the AMG V8 is currently only planned to go into Aston's entry-level car, C/D does mention a possibility of it (and perhaps its three-pedal transmission) making its way into other cars as an economy option for certain markets. If a V8 DB11 were to be offered, don't expect it to show up here, though. There's also no word on who will supply the manual for the AMG-Aston mashup, but it likely will be a transaxle like the current Vantage. Ex-factory manual AMGs aren't totally unprecedented. Pagani has built some three-pedal cars with its massaged AMG V12s. Compared to those, however, these manual Vantages can be considered mass-production cars. And really, any increase in the number of sticks mated to AMG engines can only be a good thing.

YouTube's Super Bowl commercial buzz list dominated by automakers [w/videos]

Thu, 31 Jan 2013

After Sunday's big game, YouTube will be the place to watch every commercial that you missed when you left your seat for an emergency guac refill or, as we say in Cleveland, took the Browns to the Super Bowl. That makes YouTube the nation's water cooler on Monday, and it's got some preliminary stats to share in the lead up to kickoff.
As you know, Super Bowl advertisers, particularly automakers, like to endlessly tease their big budget commercials in the weeks before the game, many times revealing them outright days in advance. Because of this, YouTube can tell us which commercials have been viewed the most so far, and their top five list is all automakers.
Kaley Cuoco appears to have been a good investment for Toyota, as her ad for the RAV4 has garnered the most YouTube views - six million and counting - among Super Bowl commercials so far. Second place goes to Mercedes-Benz, though not its actual Super Bowl commercial, but rather the teaser for it. You know, the one with Kate Upton and the car washing, which is up to 5.6 million views. Third place is Audi's Prom commercial (3.3M views), fourth goes to Volkswagen's slightly controversial Get In, Get Happy ad (3.3M views), and the fifth and final spot is bookended by the teaser video for Kaley Cuoco's commercial (3.2M views). You can watch all five in order below.

New details emerge on forthcoming Mercedes-Benz SLC

Sat, 02 Feb 2013

Last we heard, the Mercedes-Benz SLC had been put on indefinite hold, but now Car Magazine is reporting that the Porsche 911-fighting "Baby SLS" coupe could be on sale by 2015. Riding on a modified SLS AMG chassis, the smaller and lighter SLC could be priced in the sub-$100,000 price bracket.
We'd already heard that the new car would feature conventional doors (instead of SLS-like gullwing doors), but this report focuses on some of the possible powertrains Mercedes-Benz is likely to use. At launch, the SLC could offer a pair of V8-powered models - a 485-horsepower SLC and a 585-hp SLC S - both being powered by a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8. About a year after launch, a new V6 model could emerge giving the SLC an estimated 333 horsepower and its lowest price point.
It also sounds like the car's name hasn't been completely finalized as some people within Mercedes are favoring a return of the SLR name.
