Mercedes SL 73 AMG; How come i never heard about this AMG version
Apparently... Mercedes once produced a special SL AMG that I never heart of: SL 73. I found the specs:
7291 cc (!!) V12
0-100 km/h : 4.8
391.5 kw / 525.0 bhp @ 5550 rpm
750 nm / 553.2 ft lbs @ 4000 rpm
1975 Kg
Three questions:
Has someone got pictures of it?
And how come I never heard about this AMG version?
Are there more of these extraordinary AMG's that Mercedes made?

Sl73...
Hello everybody
The number of the SL73 build by AMG was rather small. I am even more happy to know one of the current owners with such a beauty - in mint condition !
Brabus did some conversion with a 12 zyl engine as well - but these cars are not AMG original, therefore not named SL73.
kind regards

Hello MB AMG
I will look through my HDD and I think there are some more pictures about SL73 and as well SL60, which I took at our AOC meetings.
Wish you a nice day

Hello Members
OK, If you really want to get some pictures of an SL73, I will organise a photo shooting with my friend in Germany who is driving one of this beauties. I was looking through my HDD already - but I did not find any good shots of HIS SL 73 ..... (dont kill me please :p ) For our community at AOC his car is really very nice -but not that extraordinary, cause we see him quite often.
Kind regards from France

How do YOU think this race would end ?? about 500 HP in the SL73 against 612 in a SL65 ? He would not dare ... hihi ... as written above - we love and care about our cars - we just have them to have some fun, thats all.
I promise, to take more pictures if there is really a request for this.
