Mercedes Benz SL 55 AMG - reliable edges of the possible

Why are such cars as the legendary Mercedes Benz SL 55 AMG expensive? Let's leave aside the talk about brands and innovations. Firstly, those who painstakingly and for a long time doing qualitative things need to pay well. Secondly, at the heart of such a car lie the ingenious design solutions of people who have changed the automobile world. And it's worth a lot. Thirdly, the technological solutions used in such cars are on the verge of the possible. To "grope" this face, it is necessary to test it experimentally, having spent time and money: practically something to break and retreat a little to be sure that it will not happen again. And it costs not less expensive.

AMG company for more than 40 years "takes" the cars of the company Mercedes Benz to the brink of the possible and does it on the orders of customers. Usually they "order" two or even three identical cars, one of which is collected for the client, and on the other they test the working capacity and reliability of the solutions used. Therefore, the figures for the technical characteristics of the order are sometimes corrected during the assembly process, coordinated with the client. The reliability of AMG solutions is not based on the assumption that this will necessarily work, but on the certainty of the practically confirmed test results.

The technological features and characteristics of the Mercedes Benz SL 55 AMG have three levels. The first is the basic one, which is provided by the technology of car manufacturing by Daimler AG. The second one - the additional one - is provided by AMG company by bringing it to the basic technical characteristics of this model according to AMG version. And the third - individual - is ordered by the client and agreed by AMG.

The prefix SL (Sport Leicht) in the name Mercedes Benz SL 55 AMG means "light sportiness," rather, even the sporting ability of a car, which is easy to manage. The one who went behind the wheel of such a car, first of all, allocates the comfort of the management of the "tamed beast". Despite almost half a thousand horsepower and acceleration to 100 km / h in 4.7 seconds, driving this car, does not pull "chugging". The nobility of the car, the splendor of external forms and interior decoration set the respectability and slowness of the driver who knows his own worth and is able to behave with restraint under any circumstances.

The first thing that mesmerizes inside the Mercedes Benz SL 55 AMG is the comfort of the seats and controls. Such lateral support and general body enveloping can not be found anywhere else, and all other cars will then be estimated as a percentage of this impression. The second SL trim from AMG is noise insulation and vibration resistance of the machine. In it you can talk in a whisper and listen to uncompressed classical music during any driving modes. And the third feature that distinguishes the "Mercedes" in general, and SL 55 AMG brought to the boundaries of excellence - is the roadside stability on the road or, as the drivers say: "it goes like a cruiser." First of all, this leads to the fact that there is no sense of speed, even on a low-quality road. There is such a thing as "comfortable car speed", which does not feel like dangerous behind its wheel. The AMG 55 has a speed of 210-220 km / h on the mid-level track.

In general, this machine has only two disadvantages: first you need a lot of money to buy it, then, a lot of money for gasoline. And the rest - some fun.
