MERCEDES-BENZ SL65 AMG BLACK SERIES

At AMG , where Mercedes is the label " Black Series "is that the sport takes precedence over comfort. Forget the usual exceptional versatility of Mercedes AMG for a distinctly more tempered. With the SL65 AMG Black Series , the wizards of Affalterbach have gone very far. Forget the roadster removable roof, since now the SL 65 AMG "BS" is a cut whose passion is like the 670 hp of 0 à 100 km / h in 3 shot. "8 A supercar made ​​in Germany! ...

AMG SL65 is unleashed with the mutating into cut with broad wings, and 250 kg in less than 670 hp on the rear wheels only!
First work of men of AMG, give tone to a biturbo V12 that do not require so much!

2009 Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport

BUGATTI VEYRON GRAND SPORT

The main challenge in developing the new Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport with removable roof resulted from the unique structure of the fixed-roof Bugatti Veyron. An optimum combination of rigidity and lightweight engineering ensures the monocoque passenger cell of the original model is extremely strong while weighing an absolute minimum - it is a central element of the vehicles structure. As the roof is an integral part of this, removing it meant the load paths had to be completely redesigned to maintain the vehicles rigidity and crash safety, and to offer additional protection from side impacts and rolling.

When the roof is closed, the Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport can reach 407 km/h, while speeds of up to 360 km/h are possible with roof off. Should it rain, an innovative folding roof stored in the luggage compartment can be opened up like an umbrella at any time. When this folding roof is in place, the car can travel at up to 130 km/h.
Along with moisture-resistant, backstitched leather, a range of new equipment features has been added to the interior, including a reversing camera with 2.7-inch monitor in the rear-view-mirror, and the “Puccini” sound system with digital signal processor.
