Mercedes not only crowned his AMG SL – it gave him a literal halo. With a safety bar in 1-style 1, the AMG PureSpeed of € 922,000 is the wildest SL that has ever been produced.
If the Mercedes-AMG looks pourespeed, they don’t be wrong. The Dutch Coachbuilder -Bus -Sink once offered a concept similar to the Bussink GT R Speeding legend in very limited numbers. Now AMG has the radical idea of a Fous-funny roadster without a roof for itself in a surprisingly large run of 250 units. Price: € 922,000, without the tailor -made helmets. Sunglasses alone will not cut it; Everything over 60 km/h becomes uncomfortable, and after 140 km/h it feels like they are in the eye of a hurricane.
The concept is not completely new-open-two-eaters like this remember memories of the legendary Mercedes 300 SLR or the limited SLR Stirling Moos. But that’s not a coachbuilt fantasy. AMG starts a hyper-roadster built with a factory that puts on the roof and modesty alike. Instead of a windshield, there is a Halo bar in the Formula 1 style that combines visually and functionally with the world of George Russell and Kimi Antonelli. The look is bold; The experience even more. Regardless of whether you charge a mountain road or just proceed through the city, this is a car for spectacle – even though you enjoyed the best for the weather forecast.
The characteristic safety system includes a steelhalo rod integrated in the chassis, coupled with a firm roller refuge for the structural rigidity. The right helmets are not only aesthetic – they are equipped with a intercom, so that the driver and passenger can call or receive calls through the open cockpit. Highlights from the SL broadcast: leather shovel, a tactile steering wheel, upright infotainment screen and an IWC analog clock contested with carbon.
Performance is just as brave. The familiar 4.0-liter twin turbo V8 from the SL63 and GT delivers 430 kW / 585 hp and 800 Nm and strikes the 1.9-ton machine with fadder. Some may be wondering why AMG did not coordinate it, but even at this level the ponespeed delivers in spades: 0–100 km/h in 3.6 seconds and a top speed of 315 km/h, accompanied by a thundering V8 soundtrack. Ceramic brakes inspire from the first press.
The Tech Suite is extensive. Despite the visual theatrics, the PEORESPEED drives like a full -fledged SL63: adaptive suspension, all -wheel drive and rear wheel steering offer everyday user -friendliness and scalpel -sharp control. Aerodynamics, hydraulic roll stabilization and precise steering ensure that the car reaches with persistence through fast corners. The 21-inch wheels bite into the asphalt and offer the drive capacity as impressive as its appearance.
