Rex Accelero came up with this lookwhich was done by moving out the front and rear fenders by about 2.5inches. Doing this allowed for the aerodynamic parts to be placed insuch a way as to give the car room to be used as a track day device.
A carbon fiber lip plus a rear diffuser will be installed in thefinal production models. Minimum weight and strength will be ensured byusing a vacuum-bag construction. Thus a 50:50 weight distribution canbe achieved. Some aspects are still being tweaked ahead of the openingof the pre-order book in September.
This prototype also has oversized tyres, H&R springs, and astandard engine. Although not the 400hp unit from the limited SLK 55AMG Black Series, it is the same 5.4-litre V8 worth 367hp (270kW) butthe California-based tuner has plans to introduce it to a superchargerand make it go beyond 500hp (368kW). Such a thing is possible; thelegendary E 55 AMG had the exact same engine, also with a superchargerand it made 476hp (350kW). |
