i didnt know anything about it, apparently it was little heard anyway, but
M-B shoehorned a 7.3litre V12 (the same one that powered the CLK-GTR Le
Mans racer)

I didn't like that styling from Mercedes Benz, but yeah, I'd hit that lol.

Weight 2050 kg / 4519 lbs :doh:
thats as much as a school bus full of kids!
greg985
thats pretty average!!! (2 tonnes)
but its got alot of grunt, you need to tow a trailer with a petrol tank on
it though!!!
True_Brit
yeh it has around 8.5 hp per Lbs and thats good
greg985
You mean pounds per horsepower lol.
chris_knows
you know what i mean :oops:
greg985
I don't think its that great, I mean 525HP from 7.3 L is nothing to call
home about. I'm sure the SL500 from the same era is almost as fast.
Mathew
I think the 500's from that time had like 380 hp, still good
couldnt possibly be related to the zonda engine?
nighthawk
Mercedes could have done something to that engine to make it more
powerfull, on paper a 7.3-litre engine sounds amazing, but there are alot
smaller engines with as much power!
Cliffy
yes, same engine, probably updated but the same.
i agree with cliffy, they could have put in an extra 100bhp or something!
