:shock: The ME Four-Twelve name is derived from the mid-engine placement of a quad-turbo 6.0-liter V12 engine. Bernard explained the name is appropriate because the car was literally designed around the engine.
The AMG-developed all-aluminum 6.0-liter V12 engine produces 850 horsepower and 850 lb-ft of torque, and the car has a curb weight of only 2,880 pounds. Power get transferred to the wheels via a 7-speed Ricardo Double Clutch Transmission developed specifically for the vehicle.
The ME Four-Twelve is expected to accelerate from zero to 60 mph in 2.9 seconds and from zero to 100 mph in 6.2 seconds with a top speed of 248 mph, or 400 kilometers per hour. :shock:

Guess two turbos weren't enough... :roll: Now I'll have to sell all of my cars to be able to get this one. :roll:

If I had the money to afford that car, I'd be able to build my own road/track just for that.
How much would Autobahn 81 cost? :roll:

Wow, it's almost as fast as the Lingenfelter Corvette, but not quite! :)

It'll be sweet if we ever get to see that on the street..

You must be talking about "the Sledgehammer" from back in '87-'88. I still have that Hot Rod issue with Reeve Callaway's autograph on it. Yup, got it when I visited his shop in Leingarten - near Heilbronn.
