Ah, Manhart, the master of brave projects, couldn't resist tinkering with the Mercedes-AMG SL 63 to suit their fancy. Introducing the SL 700 R, the exclusive ride that's limited to just 10 lucky individuals.
Well, well, well! This renowned German tuner got their hands on a stock twin-turbo 4.0-liter V8 and decided to give it a little boost. They took the original 577 hp and 590 lb-ft of torque and cranked it up to a much healthier 697 hp and 690 lb-ft. Talk about a power upgrade!
The 4Matic+ system, along with the updated 9-speed automatic transmission, sends power to all four axles. The MHtronik powerbox, a redesigned intercooler system, and a new air filter all contributed to the power increase. In addition, for export markets other than Germany, sport downpipes with 600-cell catalytic converters are offered as an extra. Manhart also provides customized chassis enhancements.
Check out the fancy new set of Y-spoke monoblock alloy wheels, a whopping 22 inches in diameter! They're definitely turning heads. Those bad boys are rockin' some Hankook Ventus S1 Evo2 rubber, with a mix of 295/30ZR22 up front and 335/25ZR22 in the back.
Well, it seems like the prices for the SL 700 R Limited are hard to come by. They're keeping us all in suspense!
