NICE, thanks!!! i saw a Lotec Sirius at the AutoRAI 2003 in Amsterdam, but being the stupid asshole that i am i forgot my photo camera :cry: it looks spectacular, although it doesnt have the presence of the enzo. At the autoshow the spec list said it had 1300+ hp ah well i guess 850 will do...

Man that SL65 is insane. 737lb ft of torque and its limited. I wonder how fast the Lotec Sirius goes around a track.

Shit man, 272 hp from a 3.0 Diesel engine, that's astonishing. Only BMW could do such a thing. I wanna test drive that thing

Thanks again for this one!!

i only had time to read the SL65 article, that car is very fast indeed,

with 0-100 times like that, it could chase down some bikes.

simpley breath taking to imagine that much power in a car.
damn, i rember a time when mercedies where sensable!

Wow...thx a lot. This is the first piece of media, other than a few pics, I've seen about the Lotec Sirius/ But the price tag is ridiculous, no matter what power is offered. And the Merc SL65...we've already seen what that engine in action on Top Gear, very impressive. But once agian, the question is wethear the boost of power to an already fantastically fast car is worth the 50k's the fellas from Mercedes Benz request. THX again TT

I have my heart set on a 2001 330d (probably a wagon though) when I get back to the UK, shame I can't afford a 535d, that is one awesome car!
