Beyond the specs:
In a relatively short period of time, Mercedes was able to put together this gem of a machine, which could compete head to head with the Porsche 911 GT-1 for the full 24-hour length of the race. This Le Mans racecar may not have a very good 0-60 time but it gets to 100mph just as fast as the Chrysler Viper GTS-R. This car uses a tuned and enlarged version of the highly refined V12 found in many Mercedes road cars including the Mercedes flagship vehicle the S class. This is another marvel of Mercedes engineering, I just wonder when (if ever) will BMW enter the GT1 class to challenge Mercedes.
