MANHART SL 800 R
The convertible is presented with the bodywork body painted in the usual black, and with the longitudinal stripes that put the note of contrast in gold. The same color that highlights the air intakes of the front bumper, the spoiler on the lower front lip and the rim of the alloy wheels with the typical concave design of the tuner. A gold stripe also extends down the sides with the model name.
At the rear, gold is also presented in a filament, highlighting the vertical gills at the ends and the channels of the aerodynamic diffuser. MANHART will offer a wide range of customization options for the interior, although this section has not yet been revealed, which will surely be full of Nappa leather and carbon fiber as usualalthough for now it refers to a private consultation.
The new AMG SL will arrive with a complete mechanical offer with more than 800 hp in the top-of-the-range plug-in hybrid version. A figure that Manhart has taken from the 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 without the need to resort to electrification. The key is some new, and specific, turbochargers, intercooler and a carbon intake manifoldwith which this performance has been achieved, and more than 1000 Nm of torque.
