SL Black Series ...

I know its been spoken about before but its confirmed gets 6.2 TT , 650bhp and 750lbft according to Feb'08 (early no?) Car Mag in UK. £175,000. 0-62 4.0.

Thats going to kick SLR into touch surely?

Also listed is the Ferris 430 Scuderia ... 503bhp!! 3.6 0-62 , 198mph ... but £178000 - massive jump over the stock 430.

911's get face lifts and direct injection... already!

There is too many cars coming out that I want. I saw the edmunds vid of this car some time back but wanted to see the power. I didnt want to pay 200k for the 63 motor and 510hp. This car may be a contender if the weight is lower and the power really is that high. I have also been watching the lexus lf a. I need to start my penny collection since now I guess.

Did they SPECIFICALLY state it's a V8?? Enhanced test car audio I posted a few months ago clearly sounded like a 12'er.

Just curious.

Great find though!!

Hi guys sorry been offline with new year and all... The picture is a small clip of the SL on the track that we had all seen before and the script is a summary of the cars specs, and a one line verdict (hmmm). The page has maybe 20 little thumbnails of upcoming cars for 2008, all summarised up. So nice info none the less.

Ill try and scan the whole page tonight and post it up.... although there is not much more to it than what I wrote above!

Happy new year y'all !
