that long enough and a lot will happen during that time. I say 3 years

Whatever the case with 707hp and 734lb-ft the SLR by that time will be one of the most powerful supercars in the world!

oh ok, i got it, but it does seem a bit rumourish

This information is from May issue of CAR magazine. Thay are pretty reputable. On top of that the boss at AMG has said that turbocharging will continue for the company. Superchargers will no longer be used.

sorry to break it for you, its all rumours until it been official by Mercedes. There are many "reliable sources" floating around but still the carmaker has the final word. The same goes for Audi, BMW and any other carmaker. It all rumours until its been official.

The Mercedes boss has said, For the future, the trend will be turbocharging! Remember this thread? http://www.germancarforum.com/showthread.php?t=2186&highlight=Mercedes+boss

You can bet if this powerboosted SLR has 650hp (up from 626) MB shouldn`t have a problem with 707hp.
I know that fugure is a rumer but I have been seeing a few articles of MB testing a 700hp V8.

Sorry but we arent discussing 650hp, we are talking about the numbers for the new bi-turbo (the numbers from CAR).

I love to guess laptimes

sportauto laptimes:
N: 7.47 min (old 7.52 min)
H: 1.12,8 min (old 1.13,5 min)




your turn?

Hp predictions usually arn`t wrong. If thay are inaccurate it`s usually by
7 or 8hp. Thats no big deal. We will see how the numbers playout.

Do you dare to guess any laptimes?

You know I just jumped on the laptime bandwagon. I`m too green to make a prediction.

 

[bum-man]

Well seeing as they have changed quite a few things, bigger brakes and rims, more power, new aero, and less weight. I would say...

Nurburgring: 7:41
Hockenheim: 1:12.9

Didn't the current SLR drop SBC?
