Meet the Mercedes-AMG PureSpeed, a two-seat marvel shaking up the supercar world with its astounding capabilities. This summer showstopper brings impressive stats to back its name, promising thrilling speeds well beyond a casual drive around Monaco.
Take to the hills, and the PureSpeed unleashes an incredible 577bhp and 590 lb-ft from its biturbo V8. It rockets from 0-62mph in a stunning 3.6 seconds, reaching a top speed of 195mph—all without a windscreen. But don't worry, you'll have helmets to fend off any swarm of bugs.
This power courses through a nine-speed multi-clutch transmission paired with Mercedes’ 4MATIC+ all-wheel drive. Features like active suspension and ceramic brakes make this a performance package worthy of any wall poster.
Crowning this sculpted beauty is a Formula One-inspired 'halo,' complete with ambient lighting. Helmets come with built-in intercoms so you can chat with your passenger at breakneck speeds.
Unlike the standard SL, the PureSpeed has large air scoops, transparent front deflectors, and plenty of carbon fiber, including 21-inch forged aluminum wheels. While opinions may vary on the red/black/grey paintwork, its design cohesion is impressive.
The PureSpeed introduces Mercedes' exclusive ‘Mythos’ collection, paying homage to the brand’s racing legacy. Only 250 units will be produced, with prices surpassing the £198k needed for an SL63 ‘Ultimate’. Affordable? Not quite.
Summary: The Mercedes-AMG PureSpeed combines jaw-dropping performance with race-inspired design, offering a distinctive supercar experience. With just 250 units planned, it merges exclusivity with unparalleled engineering, sure to turn heads—and lighten wallets.
