Hello MercedHeads !

(Hope this is not "old news" to you)

Two weeks ago I was at the Hockenheim Quartermile and a white SL rolled into the beams.
I was not expecting much, but this coupe was running low 11s, about 2sec faster than I thought.

It turned out to be an MKB 1000 on its first outing and yes, the 1000 stands for horsepower.

Here is the official press release :

I am not affiliated with MKB, I was the "astonished announcer" mentioned in the text
and thought a 230 mph car that looked not too chavy could be of PH interest.
