DETROIT AUTO SHOW: Mercedes releases the SL600 roadster
Global debut of the SL600 roadster in Detroit
Mercedes releases the SL600 roadster today in Detroit. The new SL600 is a bi-turbo V12-powered version of the SL-Class that generates 493 bhp and 590 ft-lb. The new V12 engine was developed with the characteristics of a larger engine. The engine's computer control has extremely fast resolution and can adjust itself in milliseconds according to ambient temperature, barometric pressure, coolant temperature, oil temperature, gear selected, and throttle position. The twin-turbocharging system also uses two intercoolers. The new SL600 will arrive in the U.S. as a 2004 model and as a 2003 model in Europe.
