They only built a small number of those beatiful beasts and its very difficult to see one, let alone to have one!!!
Perfomance:
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

That engine is ginormous! I think that's a little too much overkill with that one...

must be as it's 'only' 391.5kw from that massive engine
would i be right in thinking Mercedes is still using this EXACT same engine (with a few more modifications) to supply for the Zonda?

Well then you must be saying that the Zonda engine is producing nothing for it's size since it only produces 30hp more, and i can agree with that.

What you guys should look at is the tire tearing 750NM of torque. This will give it great acceleration.

Some rumors say that they will....with a "natural" 6.3L AMG engine.... 8)

i dont think its all due to the engine (although it doesnt help) that gives it such a high weight. its the same engine that is in the zonda and the zonda is very light.
i think its just that MB just spreads random amounts of molten lead and iron throughout the chassis, it wouldnt be a true merc if it didnt weigh 4000+ lbs.  hehe
badass car though thanks for the pics.

back in the 90s.......Mercedes are building VAULT like cars. Ever since the introduction of the US made ML, build quality ran downhill like a fat bitch on skates
