AMG
PRESS RELEASE:
SL 55 AMG with
Performance Package: Based on the official FIA Safety Car from the 2002
Formula 1 season
Striking front apron
with additional oil cooler
Sporty AMG chassis
with Active Body Control
Multi-piece 19-inch
AMG twin-spoke wheels with mixed tires
Affalterbach, Jun 12,
2005
Racing technology
comes to the road: with the addition of the new AMG-Performance
Package, the Mercedes-Benz SL 55 offers a driving experience which is
more dynamic than ever. Developed by Mercedes-AMG, this
high-performance version of the successful roadster is a compelling
tour de force with looks and technology closely derived from the
official FIA Safety Car used in last year's F1 Grand Prix season.
The SL 55 AMG with the Performance Package owes its enhanced dynamic
characteristics to an extensive range of revisions to its body, engine
cooling system, brakes and suspension. The design of the striking front
apron, which dominates the nose of the vehicle, recalls the look of the
Formula 1 Safety Car. Larger cooling-air intakes and an additional
engine-oil cooler ensure that the AMG V8 super-charged powerplant -
whose peak power and torque levels are unchanged at 368 kW/500 hp and
700 newton metres respectively - is maintained at the optimum operating
temperatures during sporty driving.
Brake system and chassis set-up from the Formula 1 Safety Car
For optimum braking performance, sensitivity and resistance to fading,
the front wheels of the SL 55 AMG with the Performance Package are
equipped with a composite steel brake system. Measuring 380 mm in
diameter (as opposed to 360 mm in the standard version), the internally
ventilated and perforated grey cast-iron discs feature floating
calipers and have a greater thermal capability. All the dynamic
handling systems associated with the electrohydraulic Sensotronic Brake
Control (SBC) system have been optimized for the new brake system.
Together, all these measures borrowed directly from the Formula 1
Safety Car deliver reliable stopping power at all times - even under
the extreme conditions encountered when braking from racing speeds.
The SL 55 AMG with the Performance Package also draws on its Formula 1
coun-terpart when it comes to the chassis set-up and the choice of
wheels and tires. The Mercedes-AMG engineers based the configuration on
the set-up used by official FIA Safety Car driver Bernd Mayländer
on all the F1 Grand Prix circuits. New spring struts with firmer spring
and damper settings for the Active Body Control (ABC) system provide an
even more direct and responsive driving experience. Impressive looks
and superb engineering come together in the multi-piece 19-inch AMG
twin-spoke wheels. 255/35 ZR 19 tires are fitted to the 8.5 x 19-inch
front wheels while the 9.5 x 19-inch rear wheels are equipped with
285/30 ZR 19 tires.
Picks: Rims have no
curb damage but have light marks around some edges from a tire changing
machine,
parking block scrapes far underneath the front bumper cover (will be
repaired), floormats could be replaced
to make them as fresh as the rest of the interior (I'm very picky about
this), as with all my personal autos, there
isn't much to nitpick on this one,
nothing else
to reasonably
fault!

*Vehicle
is located at BMI - more information or photographs are available upon
on request. While every reasonable effort has been made
to
ensure the accuracy of the above data, mistakes regarding hp ratings,
options, etc. can be made. I have also done my best to be very
honest
and very critical about the cosmetic and mechanical condition of this
vehicle. Of course, it is not possible to pick-up on every single
detail
or flaw. Please keep expectations realistic as this is a pre-owned
vehicle, and I have personally found blemishes on brand new
undriven
vehicles. If you are an exceptionally detailed oriented person, please
contact me to verify any information directly, and I will do my
best to
specifically photograph anything you request and to answer any of your
questions to the best of my ability.
