Mercedes Benz SL65 AMG owners !
Something Horst von saurma (the driver) said about the car.
NordSchleife: the test car is an open version, so good for 300kmh, top speed at Dhahaha1094;ttinger Hhahaha1094;he is nearly 280kmh, but it couldnhahaha1169;t reach the SL55hahaha1169;s time because of weight ? sure it has over 100hp more power than SL55 but especially at NS ithahaha1169;s better to have a light car and not one with 612hp but 2049kg!!! we can say ? again - same ?problem? as always, the ABC suspension is just not a proper suspension for a demanding track like NS, e.g. it doesnhahaha1169;t provide enough negative spring travel. very annoying ESP system ? even when switched off it re-activates when the car is driven at the limit. Hockenheim: ?here at a smooth track, ithahaha1169;s not a big problem that the ESP canhahaha1169;t be switched off completely, it hardly re-activates. no traction problems because of the 30% lim.slip diff. ? due to the weight understeering is a major problem? brake pedal travel of the SBC brake is increasing after only two fast laps, with hot brakes it can only deliver 10,4m/s2 deceleration? with cold brakes it only needs 34.9m from 100kmh ? quite impressive for a 2ton car? acceleration/braking: same time from 0-100kmh for the SL55 and 65, to 200kmh the SL65 is just 0,7sec faster? nevertheless, 18,5 sec for the combined 0-200 and back from 200 to 0 ( 13,1 sec & 5,4 sec ) is definitely sports car level, here, the 5speed auto box harmonizes perfectly with the engine, fast gear changes, low torque converter transmission activities and a better manual mode, is good for 9 points? aerodynamics: even having larger cooling inlets, the cw-value isnhahaha1169;t worse than the one from the SL55, the ascending forces are on an average level but nothing to worry about. max. lateral acceleration: handling wise therehahaha1169;s no major difference between Sport and Comfort mode of the ABC suspension ? only the continuous-travel comfort and suspension comfort is significantly decreasing. with only 1.1ghahaha1169;s the SL65 is definitely not good for the supercar league, again the weight is the main problem here? 36m slalom and 110m evasion test: ?again, although the steering is very good and precise the weight prevents really good results. and again the re-activation of the ESP system is kinda bad for reaching better times, the SL65 should therefore be driven slightly under the control range of the ESP? wet handling: even on wet pavement outstanding traction ? even with ESP off ? mainly because of the lim.slip diff. power oversteering is easily controllable? is it true ? or just another haters article ? |

Horst is legendary - his job... drive happy paying customers around Hockenheim circuit in a Mercedes now apperently. I had the pleasure of driving with him around the circuit in a BMW M5 - and MAAAAN this guy can drive and knows the track. He went past everything on the track - ferraris, porshes, motorcycles, even think i saw a Mclaren F1 but we went past so fast i didn't really have time too look close :D
What vlad said? i got no freaking idea lol |
