Mercedes-Benz SL, the convertible that for decades is the most popular stars in Hollywood came when a new generation. The seventh, to be exact. After the first official photos of the new SL were published on the internet, it is time to learn more details about the car.

First, the roadster marks a first in the range German manufacturer, through the use of aluminum for almost all parts of the car. Body and chassis not only benefit from this material, but also multi-link suspension, which makes the car weight, is less than in previous generations with 140 kg.

According to the German officials, the car would have been even easier, but many safety systems on board imposed a compromise for active and passive safety. Thus, the car will be equipped with Pre Safe, Distronic Plus or Attention Assist, equipment already established on other models of the mark.

Those who will enjoy a ride with the folding hard top than in the company of the highest quality music will appreciate FrontBass system, which uses the chassis to enhance and optimize the sound provided by the sub-woofer. But there is something special for those who prefer to leave the roof unfolded.

The ceiling of the new Mercedes SL will be available in two versions: one glass and one equipped with extravagant Magic Sky Control, which allows setting the level of transparency in the cabin. Magic Vision Control system is the pompous name that Germans use to incorporating wipers and windshield cleaning nozzles.

But to reach the most important part of the new SL, namely the engines offered by Mercedes-Benz. For starters, the car will be available in Europe in two petrol versions. SL 350 will be equipped with V6 engine 302 horsepower, capable of delivering a torque of 370 Nm and fuel consumption of 6.8 l/100 km.

The range performer, until the intervention of the AMG, will be SL 500, one of which took the V8 flagship S-class will make 429 hp and a starting range of 0 to 100 km/h of 4.6 seconds. Those who want, however, an exclusive SL, from the beginning, shall have the limited edition “Edition 1″.

The last copy of the longest manufacturer from the range of German roadster came out of the production line, announcing the next generation. Mercedes-Benz SL Class was, until recently, the longest roadster produced by Daimler. Went into production in 2002, the generation that has just left the scene on December 5 was assembled at the plant in Bremen, Germany. The factory where was produced the former generation of Mercedes SL, whose career of 12 years in the auto market is approaching of German range, G Class off-roader. In total, the factory produced from 1989 to now, no less than 370,000 copies of the Roadster.

Probably the most desirable SL ever could be considered the legendary SL 73 AMG, a wolf in lamb, equipped with a mechanical monster 7.3-liter and 595 hp, which managed a sprint from 0-100 km/h of 5.8 seconds and reaches a top speed of 298 km/h, without limitation mail. Some awesome figures for the year 1995. The last SL from current generation left the production line equipped with V6 of 3.5 liter and 315 horsepower, showing the color Iridium Grey and the number of copies produced of his generation, right on the windshield: 169,434 cars.

Internally coded as R320, the Cabriolet equipped with hard-top received two facelits, one moderate, received in 2006 and another in 2008, the latter implementing a front oriented to Mercedes-Benz CLS. That part of fans of German roadster that were enthusiasts of Apple products have a reason to regret the fact that the SL reaches the end of his career. This was the car that Steve Jobs drove it every day without a registration number.

The future SL will enter into production on 15 December 2011, and will be officially presented at the Auto Show in Detroit next year. The first half of 2012 will be marked by the launch of roadster on European market.

Against a ML series, the new ML 63 AMG has a more aggressive spoiler, which gives the curves in favor of sharp edges. However, the ML 63 AMG’s spoiler is quite close in appearance to that of the optional AMG package on any ML, the main differences consisting in placing different type LED position lights, in the presence of an additional splitter and highlighting the three large slots of ventilation.

Mercedes-Benz ML 63 AMG is also notable with Xenon headlights slightly modified as appearance, by 20-inch wheels with a special design (optional wheels are available 21-inch) or two pairs of rectangular discharge, with a small speaker in the rear spoiler.

Otherwise, Mercedes-Benz ML 63 AMG counts, as I said, on the elegance and sobriety, detaching from the image of “bad boy” of the rival BMW X5M. Even the interior is designed in a more luxurious, sporty character is highlighted shaped seats or aluminum inserts.

On the technical level, the new Mercedes-Benz ML 63 AMG marks an evolution from the previous model. V8 twin-turbo engine, 5.5-liter, is stronger by 15 hp and 60 Nm than the other 6.3-liter engine, displaying 518 hp and 700 Nm. The performance announced: 0-100 km/h in 4.7 seconds and a top speed electronically limited to 250 km/h.

But engineers offers an AMG Performance Package, which includes increasing the maximum power to 550 hp and maximum torque of 760 Nm, which means improving start from 0 to 100 km/h with 0.1 seconds (4.6 seconds), and maximum speed reaches at 280 km/h. AMG Performance Package also means carbon fiber engine cover, painted red brake caliper or wheel with perforated leather special clothing.

The standard automatic gearbox is available with 7-speed AMG SPEEDSHIFT PLUS, three programs running and rev-matching function for relegation. In mode C (Controlled Efficiency), the engine benefits from stop-start function, while the box changes at low revs, for as low fuel consumption – average amounts to 14.7 liters/100 km, with 33 % better than the preceding ML 63 AMG.

There are people for whom a simple Mercedes CLS is not sufficiently convincing, and in that time there is a need of an AMG version. However, even some doped-house version may appear slightly overwhelmed, so the solution can be only one: to take your Mercedes CLS 63 AMG to Carlsson for some serious changes.

For there was no doubt about how hard tuner was working, it is worth mentioning that the Mercedes CLS 63 AMG version about where it starts Performance, so talk about a power of 557 hp in the standard. Thus, the Carlsson CK63 RS as car now called, will put on the line 649 hp and 800 Nm of monstrous torque.

The acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in 4.3 seconds, offered as Mercedes-Benz CLS 63 AMG, at only 4.1. A difference that will certainly be appreciate those who do not usually use the car only to raids on boulevards with nightclubs. Nor would he have to scroll.

Carlsson gives evidence of common sense, because it broke by German designers that work with any design approach boulders, but went on the classical solution: new 20-inch wheels, new set of exhaust, spoilers slightly modified and some inscriptions on here and there.

Of course, there is the kit for adjustable suspension available for cars equipped with Airmatic and Nappa leather combined with the carbon interior trim, and illuminated thresholds. However, people who can afford to take off the emblem of Mercedes-Benz in order to display the own name, counts in horse-power first. Carlsson CK63 RS not lack of business in this case.
