Title: New Safety Car for 2006
Post by: Wizzo on March 01, 2006, 09:19:23 PM

At the Geneva Motor Show, it was announced that the silver 6.3 litre 'CLK 63 AMG' coupe V8 - with modified brakes, suspension, cooling, weight and exhaust - would debut at the Bahrain opener next weekend.

Bernd Maylander is, again, the full time driver of the 481 hp car.

The road version 'CLK 63', which will be 150kg heavier than the safety car, will not be available until later this year.

Very nice, but I wonder how many pennies for us mere mortals it would be.  :o
