Zippo U.S. Vintage Grand Prix at Watkins Glen

January 2007
The 2006 Zippo U.S. Vintage Grand Prix at Watkins Glen featured the 40th Anniversary of Can-Am and the 40th Anniversary of Trans-Am Reunion, The MotorCheck Enduro Series and the Mike Stott-UBS Sprint Racing Series. Founded in Bradford, Pennsylvania in 1932 by George G. Blaisdell, Zippo has proudly sponsored the Watkins Glen Grand Prix for fourteen years.

The Zippo U.S. Vintage Grand Prix at Watkins Glen International is hailed as the largest vintage racing weekend in America. This year the event showcased the 40th anniversary of the debut of two great racing series at The Glen, the thundering SCCA Can-AM Challenge and the muscle cars of the SCCA Trans-Am. Another added bonus was the three-liter F1 cars that showed up for competition. A special tribute was paid to the career of British driver Derek Bell, a four-time GTP winner at The Glen, who joined the weekend's activities as Grand Marshal. He made his American racing debut at the 1968 United States Grand Prix held at The Glen. He is an accomplished driver and a three-time winner of the IMSA Camel Continental at Watkins Glen International. He won two World Sportscar Championships and five victories at LeMans. He was a driver in Formula 3, Formula 2, and Formula One competition for Ferrari, McLaren, Surtees, and Tecno. To this day, he remains active in motorsports as a television commentator and the occasional driver.

Not all of the activities at the Watkins Glen GP take place on the track; there is a giant antique car show held on the infield during the weekend. On Friday afternoon, action shifts to downtown Watkins Glen, where a Race Re-Enactment highlights the Grand Prix Festival. Activities for the 'downtown festival' starts with the Tech re-enactment at Smalley's Garage, followed by many activities including a Concours d'Elegance, Driving Tours, race re-enactments on the original course, and more. The race re-enactment has become so popular that a lottery is now held to determine who will take part in the event. The main thoroughfare in the village, Franklin Street, is closed to regular traffic and opened for the vintage racers. Spectators are able to get up-close views of how vintage racing used to occur. The lucky drivers selected are given the opportunity to drive two laps around the 6.6-mile circuit designed by Cameron Argetsinger. This is more than a re-enactment of The Glen's 58-year racing legacy, it's also a history lesson and an opportunity to re-live and experience the past.

On the track there were many series to behold including Trans-Am, Can-Am, Formula 5000, Sport 2000, and IMSA GTP. Spectators are not confined to the Grand Stands; the Watkins Glen 3.4-mile circuit provides plenty of prime viewing opportunities. There are 11 corners and an inner loop which provide all types of racing conditions from high speed straight stretches, to sharp corners, to gentle rolling terrain.

Pre-War
It was a pleasure seeing the colors of blue and red racing around the track, Bugatti and Alfa Romeo respectively. The pre-war group of cars proved they still had what it takes to make it around the challenging course while being driven at full throttle. An entertaining entrant was the Franziss Special - if you haven't heard of this marque, don't feel bad. The vehicle has a Frazer-Nash derived chassis and powered by a Curtis OX aero engine. It's a one-off special with the name ‘Franziss' formed by merging of the names ‘Frazer' and ‘Nash'.

The fastest car in the pre-war group was a 1935 Alfa Romeo 8C-35 driven by Peter Freenfield. A 57 Cooper T43 driven by Richard Longes finished in second while Charles McCabe and his Maserati 250F finished in third. The 9-liter Franziss Special driven by Roger Sweet finished in 12, though it had some of the better laps times of the pre-war group.

TransAm
The Sports Car Club of America Trans-Am Sedan Championship debuted in 1966 and came to The Glen in 1968 where Jerry Titus brought an end to Mark Donohue's eight-race winning streak. This eight-race win streak would remain until the 1990s when Tommy Kendall drove his Roush Mustang to nine race victories. Some of the biggest names in American racing, such as Roger Penske, Bud Moore, Dan Gurney, Jim Hall, George Follmer, Parnelli Jones, Peter Revson, Sam Posey and Carroll Shelby fielded teams. America's ‘Pony Car' took center stage, including the Ford Mustang, Chevrolet Camaro, AMC Javelin, Dodge Dart, and Plymouth Barracuda. Every manufacturer of ‘Pony Cars' were involved in this sport and, in time, marques from many different countries took part in the competition as well. During the early years for the series, the Trans-Am vehicles were road-going cars with slight modifications. There were two classes - an ‘Under 2 Liter' and an ‘Over 2 Liter' class. Roger Penske and Mark Donohue dominated the early years with Donohue winning 20 victories between 1967 and 1970.

The Trans Am big-bore production cars were one of the nosiest as well as heavily competed events of the day. There were four different leaders during the race and a slew of position changes throughout the entire grid. The race was heavily contended with the first five finishes being separated by only a few seconds. There were about 19 Ford Mustang's on the track. The second biggest group was the Chevrolet Camaro. It was the Mustangs, though, that clinched the first five positions. The first Camaro to cross the line was in 15th place and behind 10 other Mustangs.

CanAm
The original Canadian-American Challenge Cup, commonly known as Can-Am, was raced from 1966 through 1974 with few rules or restrictions placed on the vehicles. The series had unrestricted engine capacity and no rules governing wings, active downforce generation, or weight. This quickly became one of the most exciting series of racing in North America as teams often fielded cars with over 1000 horsepower with some claiming more than 1500 horsepower. There were originally six fall races run in both Canada and America. After three years the series incorporated the U.S. Road Racing Championship series growing to a circuit of 11 races, including Watkins Glen. The 87-lap race had cars traveling at speeds exceeding 130 mph with Bruce McLaren finishing in first place in his McLaren M8B followed by teammate Denis Hulme. Chris Amon finished in third with his Ferrari 612.

This years New York Governor's Cup race, a celebration of the Fortieth Anniversary of the Can-Am Challenge Series, had John Burke and his 1972 McLaren M8F jump into an early lead followed closely by Juan Gonzalez in his 1974 Shadow. At the end of the first lap, Gonzalez had managed to negotiate his car into the lead and was showing promise before he was forced to retire prematurely. By the end of the race, Burke had managed his way back to the front of the pack. He was followed by Hamish Somerville in a 1967 Lola T70 MKIII Spyder. James Freeman was in third with his 1967 Matich SR3. A 72 McLaren and 66 Ford GT40 rounded out the top five positions.

Collier Cup
In 1985 Miles Collier established the Collier Cup race for MGs, the first stand-alone event at Watkins Glen International. In its first year there were eight entries. Fast forward to the early-2000's and the list of entrants grew to over 150. In modern times, the contestants are split into two groups with the first group comprising of prewar MG cars such as the ‘T' and selected ‘A' cars. The second group of cars was mostly ‘B' cars. The Collier Cup was named in memory of brothers Sam and C. Miles Collier. Both were racers and promoters of road racing and the MG marque, dating back to the 1930s. Their brother Barron Jr. is credited as bringing the first MG to America in 1932. Sam became the first US MG agent in 1934 when he founded the MG Sales Company. Before long, the brothers had created a racing circuit on their family's estate at Overlook, New York. Their enthusiasm was contagious and soon spawned the Automobile Racing Club of America. In 1948, Sam and Miles entered a pair of MG TC's at Watkins Glen and emerged in an impressive fourth and fifth place. Driving an Ardent Alligator the following year, Miles won the Watkins Glen Grand Prix. In 1950, Sam lost his life as he lost control of his car during a race at The Glen. A granite marker and memorial plaque now mark the place where Sam left the track. A few years later, Miles fell victim to polio. The brothers' contributions to the sport of racing were later honored by the creation of the inaugural Collier Brothers Memorial Trophy race for MGs at the Watkins Glen Grand Prix. Since that time it has evolved into the largest MG race car gathering in American motorsports history and possibly the world's most significant MG racing event.

The 21st annual Collier Cup for MGs was led by Jerry Richards and Les Gonda in MGB/GT-V8s. John Zwerner's MG Midget was able to break into third position in very early racing. Marcus Jones and his 1964 MGB were able to pass Zwerner and claimed the third place finish. Richards and Gonda finished in 1st and second, respectively. The participants of the race voted David Smith and his white MGA to be the recipient of the Collier Cup for his support of MG Vintage Racing.

Group 1
Group 1 cars were made up of small displacement production sports cars and sedans, but there was nothing slow about them. The little Morris/Austin Mini Coopers, MG Midgets, MGAs, Triumph Spitfires, Austin Healey Sprites, to name a few, had lap times comparable to a few other groups that raced throughout the day. Three Cooper S cars took the top three positions followed by a pair of MG Midgets.

Group 2
The top three finishers in this group had 'fastest lap times' that were nearly identical. Cars in this group were comprised of formula racers, such as Formula Fords and Formula B, which conformed to the Monoposto Classic Rules and Regulations. At the completion of the race, it was five Brabhams taking four of the top five positions. Mark Harmer drove his 1968 Brabham BT21 to a first place finish followed by Joe Blacker in his 59 Brabham BT29. Travis Engen in his Chevron B7B was able to break into the third position.

Group 4
This was another group that had the younger generations turning to the person next to them and asking ‘What kinda car is that?' The field was made up of sports cars, GT cars, and racing specials created in limited production prior to 1960. Chevrolet powered cars took the top three positions. In first was Doug Karon in his Devin Chevrolet followed by a Lister Chevrolet driven by Udo Horn. Bob Harvey drove his Corvette Roadster into third position to hold off Brian MacEachern who finished in fourth with his Lotus Eleven. The Lister and Devin marque's, in various configurations, took five of the top eight positions.

Group 7
This year's Group 7 race was made up of center-seat CanAm cars, Can-Am cars as raced after 1967 on slicks, World Champions for Makes sports cars as raced after 1970 on slicks, and under 2.0-liter sports cars as races after 1972. SCCA, ASR & BRS, and Sports 2000 cars were also invited to join in on the fun. Examples from this Group include McLaren, Lola, Chevron Ferrari, Alfa Romeo, Royale, March, and Porsche.

Rick Bell's five-liter Prophet CanAm car easily outclassed the rest of the group. Howard Katz's TOJ 205C finished in second place. There was a battle for third between James Freeman's 1967 Matich, Joel Finn's Chevron B23, and John Burke's McLaren M8F. We were glad to see the M8F in competition; the day prior in practice/qualifying it had nearly been involved in an accident. The M8F was following the Chevron B31/36 when the Chevron spun going into one of the turns. As a result of some quick maneuvering, the M8F was just barely able to avoid the Chevron but found itself stuck in the gravel trap. Being buried up to its chassis in rocks did not seem to affect the McLaren M8F on race day, as Burke was able to drive his car from sixth position into third. Burke was also the winner of the New York's Governor's Cup CanAm race. The Matich finished in fourth, followed by five Chevrons and a Fabcar-Porsche.

Group 9
The Group 9 cars, Formula Cars using wings and slick tires complying with Monopost Racing Formula 70 rules, had no less than seven Formula 1 cars on the starting grid. Among them was a Lotus 79. The predecessor to the 79 in history was the Lotus 78 which introduced ground effects to the Formula 1 sport. The Lotus 79 John Player Special Mark IV took it to the next level. It was so superior in competition, that in the years to come, other competitors would mimic the design of the Lotus cars. Divina Galica drove her Lotus 79 on race day competition to a sixth place finish. All of the cars in the top positions were Formula 1 cars, as would be expected. The Williams FW07B driver by Hamish Somerville managed to finish ahead of the pack. The Williams FW07 was one of the cars that mimicked the design of the Lotus 78/79 and proved its potential in 1980 by winning the team's first constructors championship. The FW07B was introduced a year later and again, earned the team the coveted constructors championship.

In second place was the Tyrrell 009 followed by a Williams FW08C. Ralt cars took the next two positions.

Group 10
Group 10 had cars from the 70's through the 90's; lots of Porsche's and Corvette's in this group. Stew Tetreault in his turbocharged Porsche 935 easily rolled into first place. He was followed by the 1996 Porsche 911 GT2 Evo driven by Norm Goldrich. The battle for third was a fierce one, contended by Jeff Bernatovich in his Corvette and Terry Bookheimer in his Mercury Capri. Bookheimer was able to hold off the Corvette and the rest of the competition for a few laps but the Corvette muscled its way into third place by the time the checkered flag dropped. The Capri finished in fourth followed by an Oldsmobile Cutlass.

SVRA
Dedicated to providing the best vintage and historic race cars available in close competition at the venues in which they originally competed, SVRA events give fans and participants a great show. Unlike other vintage series, SVRA features all-out racing. Even better, wherever possible, the cars are raced to the specifications by which they were originally raced. And, in SVRA, variety is key to the success of the series. On any given SVRA race weekend, enthusiasts can see a wide variety of racing machinery. From production-based GT racers like the venerable Ferrari GTO and Jaguar E-type to open-wheeled Formula One cars; even vintage stock cars take part in the action.

Most events feature 10 groups of racers competing in the Mike Stott-UBS Sprint Series (usually 30 minutes in length) with several featured MotorCheck Enduro Series events. In addition, most events will have one or two special events, which would place either a marque or type of car in the spot light.

Conclusion
There were 10 Race Groups, two Motor Check Enduro Series races, Pre-War Group, Historic TransAm race, 40th Anniversary Can-Am Championship race, and the 21st Annual Collier Cup race. Every one of them was spectacular; every aspect of the Watkins Glen Vintage Grand Prix, including venue, racing series, accomplishments, cars, and drivers, were filled with interesting stories that were historically stimulating. On the track were cars that transformed the series in which they raced and brought new technologies to the cars that are driven on roads today. The paddock area was filled with drivers and mechanics eager to talk about their car and the event.

The roar of the race cars had the spectators and enthusiasts clinging to the fences in admiration and delight throughout the days of practice, qualifying, and competition. The tradition of showcasing some of the country's finest vintage and historic racing has made this one of the must-attend events for vintage motorsport enthusiasts and racers alike.

U.S. Vintage Grand Prix

September 2002
As the last checkered flag falls and the sun sets on the 2002 Zippo U.S. Vintage Grand Prix Weekend at Watkins Glen International, it also concludes the 2002 spectator event season at WGI as well. But Sunday was no different then the rest of the action-packed weekend, which included a full day of racing including, ten group races, the Mike Stott - EBS/Paine Webber Vintage Enduro, New York Governors Cup Thundersports Series Race and the Mini Clash Invitational race. Todays main event, the New York Governors Cup Thundersports Series race got underway with legendary driver Juan Manual Fangio II serving as grand marshal and giving the command to start your engines. In a dominating win, Aaron Hsu in his 1988 Porsche 962C beat out his brother Alec Hsu by a full lap. Aarons brother Alec finished second driving his 1987 Porsche 962C, while rounding out the top three was a 1987 Porsche 962C driven by Joe Graziano. And for the Mini Clash Invitational, it proved to be exciting race with a four-wide battle for second place at the checkered flag. David Reid won overall in his 1966 Austion Cooper-S. Rounding out the top five in the spectacular finish was Larry Coste in a 1965 Morris Cooper-S, Dave Morgan in a 1968 Mini Cooper-S, Larry Hallowa in a 1968 Mini Cooper-S and Greg Wood in a 1965 Mooris-Cooper-S. The Mike Stott EBS/Paine Webber Vintage Enduro proved to be an action packed race with Stephen Hunter in a 1959 Porsche 356a coming out on top while Richard Rzepkowski finished second in his 1971 MG Midget and Richard Barnes was third in a 1965 Bobsy SR3.

2009 Mercedes-Benz SLK 55 AMG






Facelift for the SLK 55 AMG

The SLK 55 AMG is now even more dynamic: a new front apron and dark-tinted headlamps give this unique eight-cylinder roadster an even more athletic look even at a standstill. The handling dynamics of the SLK 55 AMG have also been sharpened. For the first time the car features the new direct steering with variable servo assistance, which makes the 360-bhp two-seater even more agile and responsive. The SLK 55 AMG is also the only car in its class to feature a V8 engine, while the improved AMG SPEEDSHIFT 7G-TRONIC transmission now offers even faster gearchanges.

The appearance of the sporty roadster now reinforces the car's claim to special status even more emphatically. The redesigned front apron with a more pronounced arrow-shape, the modified Mercedes star, enlarged air dams and a black-painted transverse fin on the lower section ensure a distinctly masculine aura. Large, round foglamps with chrome surrounds are now positioned further outwards, enhancing the impression of width. The hot air from the integral engine oil cooler is vented via side outlets in the front apron. The specific AMG bodystyling also includes AMG side skirts, the muscular AMG rear apron with a black insert and the AMG spoiler lip.

AMG Eight-cylinder Engine

The striking bonnet with its characteristic longitudinal fins conceals the 5.5-liter AMG eight-cylinder engine, which has an output of 360 bhp and develops 376 lb-ft of torque - figures which remain unrivalled in this segment. Enormous torque, immediate responsiveness and the typical AMG V8 sound characterize the driving experience, together with outstanding performance: the two-seater accelerates from zero to 60 mph in just 4.7 seconds, reaches the 124 mph mark in 17.5 seconds and has a top speed (electronically limited) of 155 mph. Power is transferred by the AMG SPEEDSHIFT 7G-TRONIC transmission with steering wheel gearshift paddles, which now ensures even greater agility: gearchanges in the "S" (Sport) and "M" (Manual) driving modes are around ten percent faster than before. This is not only thanks to the new components in the seven-speed automatic transmission, but also to the new engine and transmission management, which also ensures that the gearshifts are smoother.

Functional Interior

In the functional and sporty interior of the SLK 55 AMG, the new AMG ergonomic sports steering wheel with its three-spoke design gives a visual hint of the direct steering feature. The grip area is specially shaped and lined with perforated leather, while the vertical spoke is embellished by a silver-colored insert. Two aluminum AMG shift paddles allow manual gear selection.

The AMG instrument cluster, silver/red needles and AMG lettering also has a new look, and the new graphics ensure that vehicle speed and rpm are even more easily legible. In "M" mode, the AMG main menu is able to display the currently selected gear including an upshift recommendation, as well as the engine oil temperature, the battery voltage or the RACETIMER. The AMG sports seats with their special upholstery layout feature pronounced side bolsters for improved lateral support when cornering at speed; Alcantara inserts in the shoulder areas improve this lateral support even further. Fine nappa leather upholstery is part of the standard appointments of the SLK 55 AMG. It is available in a choice of four attractive colours, with a stylish combination of black/gullwing red as a new entrant to the range.

Performance Package

The AMG performance package is available for the SLK 55 AMG on request. This package developed by the AMG PERFORMANCE STUDIO incorporates even higher-performance components. The result is an ultra-exciting driving experience for sports car enthusiasts who sometimes like to put their AMG model through its paces on the racetrack.

The AMG performance package for the SLK 55 AMG consists of:

2006 Saleen S7 Twin Turbo Pictures
















Saleen Adds Two Turbochargers to the S7

Saleen knows all about power. As in S281 Mustangs, N2O Focuses and the S7, America's first (and still the only) mid-engine exotic supercar. When it went on sale in 2002, the S7 was the only street-legal car in the U.S. with more than 500 horsepower and 500 lb-ft of torque. The media and S7 owners have raved about the car since it first smoked the rear tires in anger. And it has been recognized by numerous automotive magazines as the fastest production car in the world. But during the past three years the automobile marketplace has witnessed an explosion of performance with models from manufacturers including Ferrari, Lamborghini, Mercedes-Benz, Porsche and Chevrolet touting power numbers above the once magic 500 level.

Saleen is not an organization content to rest on yesterday's 0-60 mph times or quarter-mile speeds. So in 2005, it was "goodbye S7" and "all hail the S7 Twin Turbo!" This is the first major change to the S7 since its introduction, and it is a big change as in 750 horsepower and 700 lb-ft of torque, numbers the competition will be chasing for a long while we predict.

Unchanged From 2005

While there are a number of different roads Saleen's engine designers could have traveled down to achieve those high-altitude horsepower and torque figures, for this second edition of the S7 they decided to think beyond atmospheric. And because this is Saleen, they added a double twist to a tried and true racing technique for boosting power and torque: twin turbos.

Aerodynamics has also come under scrutiny in 2005. Unless you place the new S7 Twin Turbo next to one of the original 2002 models, you probably won't notice that the 2005 version has a different diffuser/rear spoiler package and reshaped front fenders to enhance the S7s already sleek, swoopy and aerodynamic contours. To complement the Twin Turbo's enhanced straight-line performance envelope the S7 chassis has also undergone a fair amount of tweaking. Virtually every suspension pickup point has been changed, and the suspension geometry has been modified for less squat and dive during acceleration and braking.

Engine & Drivetrain

Designed by Saleen engineers, the S7's engine and drivetrain incorporate the latest in modern racing technology. The new all-aluminum V8 engine casting was engineered and tooled by Saleen to displace seven liters. Redline is 6500 rpm. Space age materials and engineering are used throughout, including stainless steel valves, titanium retainers, beryllium exhaust valve seats, an aluminum throttle body, Saleen designed aluminum CNC-machined cylinder heads and stainless steel exhaust system. An exclusive Saleen-designed Front Engine Accessory Drive (FEAD) system results in an extremely compact engine, allowing for better packaging and overall weight distribution. The V8 incorporates a unique Saleen-designed side-mounted water pump, a belt-driven camshaft drive and a Saleen-engineered dry sump oil delivery system. The engine's mid-chassis placement optimizes weight distribution and center of gravity, making room for an unusually tall engine that allows for a very efficient induction system. Air enters a roof intake, passes through a 90-mm mass air meter and feeds into a carbon fiber plenum. From the plenum the air is routed to the twin ball bearing turbos, is pressurized to 5.5 psi max and then passes through an oval-bore throttle body into an aluminum intake manifold with eight individual runners.

To feed juice to this setup, the injection system includes dual electric fuel pumps and high-capacity, return-less, 52 lb/hr fuel injectors. Neatly engineered and integrated into the S7's stainless steel, dual, high-flow exhaust system are two, twin-ball-bearing, water-cooled Saleen-Garrett turbos, featuring 44-mm wastegates. The four exhaust pipes from each bank of cylinders merge into a race-car-like high-efficiency collector. In addition, the exhaust incorporates dual catalysts per cylinder bank, EGR and those aforementioned twin wastegates. And because Saleen believes in power and clean air, the emission control system features dual, heated oxygen sensors per cylinder bank and a high-volume evaporative emission system along with those four catalysts. Oh, and for good measure and clean air, the system is OBD-II compliant.

And if you need any more proof of how Saleen engineers sweat the details, the stroke of the already short-stroke shifter has been furthered shortened for improved shifting feel. Say that five times fast, once for each gear change.

Chassis, Suspension & Brakes

The S7 chassis and suspension incorporate decades of Saleen's experience in racing, racecar construction and high-performance road car manufacturing. The Saleen S7 architecture begins with a space frame chassis to which honeycomb composite reinforcing is grafted. The body is structural, aerospace-quality, autoclave carbon fiber. Suspension is via fully independent unequal-length double wishbones with coilover springs, lightweight aluminum dampers (shock absorbers) and stabilizer (anti-roll) bars front and rear. The uprights at each corner are CNC machined billet aluminum, flow-through designs that use air to help cool the bearings.

Chassis tuning also includes revised shock valving front and rear. Saleen-engineered Brembo-supplied lightweight aluminum six-piston mono-block calipers are fitted front and rear.

Geometry changes, along with new tires, result in about a 30 percent increase in mechanical grip... which is substantial. In a seeming contradiction to current performance tire practice, the 2006 S7 Twin Turbo is fitted with "taller" tires, 275/35 R19s up front and 335/30 R20s at the rear, replacing the 275/30 R19s and 345/25 R20s fitted to the normally aspirated S7. While the Michelin Pilot Sport PS2 tires have higher aspect ratios, they also lay tire patches that are nearly an inch wider up front and almost 1.5 inches wider at the rear.

Exterior & Interior

The S7's beautiful shape was "designed" by the wind. Optimal aerodynamics and top speed performance objectives were achieved with extensive wind tunnel work. Targets included a low coefficient of drag, optimum drag-to-lift ratio, and extreme down force. The S7 has "full tray" body sculpting underneath.

For the 2006 S7 Twin Turbo, the redesigned front and rear diffusers, along with the new rear spoiler, result in a 40 percent reduction in aero drag and a 60 percent increase in down force. Those of you who know anything about aero forces recognize the significance of that last statement. Typically, you would have to trade down force to reduce aero drag.

The mid-engine Saleen S7 has front and rear trunks and comes with Mulholland Brothers custom-made, 3-piece, fitted luggage. In true supercar style, the doors open up and away from the body.

Seats and other interior surfaces are covered in elegant leather and suede. Air conditioning, power windows, power door locks with remote keyless opening for the doors and both trunks, an electric-headed front windshield, variable intermittent windshield wipers, a leather-wrapped steering wheel and an AM/FM/CD/DVD/TV system are all standard. The Saleen S7 also has one unique interior feature: a video "rearview mirror" , there is a small video camera inconspicuously mounted in the rear of the car.

2008 Mercedes-Benz CL65 AMG Specifications





Two special events make 2007 a particularly significant year for
Mercedes-AMG: the arrival of a new top model - the CL65 AMG -
which rounds off the unique AMG range and which also, in "40th
Anniversary" limited edition guise, marks a special anniversary:the
high-performance brand of the Mercedes Car Group (MCG)
celebrates its 40th birthday in 2007.

"40th Anniversary" Edition with AMG Alubeam Paint Finish

In order to mark the 40th anniversary of Mercedes-AMG - the
high-performance brand of the Mercedes Car Group - in suitably
glittering style, the CL65 AMG is also being offered as a "40th
Anniversary" limited edition model. A new type of paint finish
reflects the special status of this exclusive version, which is
restricted to just 40 vehicles for the whole world. This exceptional
AMG coupe is the very first series-production Mercedes to feature
AMG Alubeam, a unique paint finish which has previously
only been seen on a handful of Mercedes show cars.

The superbly styled interior also makes an impressive statement.
The Mercedes-Benz CL65 AMG "40th Anniversary" features
two-tone Exclusive Passion all-Nappa-leather upholstery with
a diamond pattern, a color-coordinated Alcantara roof lining and
embossed V12 logos on the front head restraints. The "40th
Anniversary" lettering on the center console confirms the exceptional
character of the new coupe and at the same time serves as
a reminder of the incomparable history of AMG. Further evidence
of the car's highly exclusive status is provided by the "One out
of 40" badge on the hand rest of the COMAND controller.

V12 Biturbo Engine: Dynamic Performance at the Highest Level

The highest level of performance is guaranteed by the AMG 6.0-liter
V12 biturbo engine with its displacement of 5,980 cc: its maximum
output of 612 bhp is maintained between 4800 and 5100 rpm
while the maximum torque of 738 lb-ft (electronically limited) is
available from 2,000 to 4,000 rpm. These impressive engine
data are the key to exceptional performance and superbly
assured driving dynamics. But the powerful AMG twelve-cylinder
unit is also in its element when cruising effortlessly in high
gear. Its superbly responsive character is as impressive as its
smooth, low-vibration running qualities which guarantee the
high level of touring comfort typically associated with Mercedes.

The characteristic AMG twelve-cylinder sound is ensured by
the AMG sports exhaust system with two twin chromed
V12-design tailpipes. Catalytic converters with tri-metallic
coating provide a faster response from a cold start,
more efficient exhaust-gas aftertreatment and a longer
service life.

The drive power of the new CL65 AMG is transmitted to
the wheels by the AMG Speedshipt five-speed automatic
transmission with AMG steering-wheel gearshift paddles
and Direct Select gearshift. An "S/C/M" mode button in the
center console allows the driver to choose between the
"Sport", "Comfort" and "Manual" driving programs.

AMG Body Styling: Powerful and Elegant Design

The advanced technology of the CL65 AMG is complemented
perfectly by the vehicle's powerful, elegant and dynamic design
idiom. The AMG body styling and the self-assured lines of the
large Mercedes coupe make a superbly cohesive formal statement.
Large air intakes, side air outlets and round fog lamps with
chrome surrounds dominate the front, as do the special AMG
radiator grille with two horizontal chrome louvers and the
darkened bi-xenon headlamps. Distinctive side skirts and
"V12 BITURBO" lettering enhance the sides while the two
twin chromed V12-design tailpipes and the muscular rear
apron with its black diffuser insert make the rear of
the vehicle particularly eye-catching.

AMG High-Performance Brakes with Innovative Twin Sliding
Calipers

The polished 20-inch AMG twin-spoke forged wheels painted
in titanium grey also contribute to the superb roadholding
of the CL65 AMG. At the front, the 8.5-inch-wide wheels
are fitted with 255/35 ZR20 tires, while 275/35 ZR20 tires
equip the 9.5-inch-wide wheels at the rear. With their
filigree spokes, they offer tantalizing views of a brake system,
the like of which is not to be found in any other manufacturer's
products. The system in question is the AMG high-performance
brake system which sets new standards for stopping power,
sensitivity and resistance to fading. In keeping with the innovative
approach typical of AMG, the front brakes of the CL65 AMG
are equipped with twin sliding calipers. A world first, this new
technology combines the advantages of a floating-caliper brake -
lower heat transfer to the brake fluid and significantly enhanced
comfort as a result of the way the brake pads are located - with
the performance of a large fixed-caliper brake.
