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
Walter

Pics of SL 73
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 SSpray
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

Race SL73 - SL65 .... ??

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.

Walter,
I for one, would greatly appreciate your effort in setting up a photo shoot of the SL73 (and your SL65, since the camera is out anyway
)!
Kind regards,
Russell
