The Carlsson SLK 340 is intended for attendance at "hill climbs" in the so-called E1 category. The car is from the ground up completely rebuilt with the aim as much as possible to save weight.
Indeed: the lighter your car, the faster you get up. The weight of the hill climber is limited to just 780 kg, including through the use of a carbon fiber body kit and a brake system of ultra light materials.
A potent engine also helps; Carlsson boosts the 3.4-liter V8 in the SLK 340 on up to 610 hp and 430 Nm. The engine is coupled to a Hewland gearbox with paddles behind the steering wheel.
aerodynamic
A serious spoiler package, diffuser and a flat bottom contribute as on aerodynamic field and to provide better handling in three positions adjustable dampers from KW. BBS wheels with Avon tires ensure good grip and obviously not missing a roll cage.
The Swiss hill climb champion Reto Meisel leads the team around the SLK 340 he is driving the car. One of his wishes was to drive this car to participate in the mother of all hill climbs: the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb in the U.S. state of Colorado.

The technology behind the Mercedes Benz SLS AMG E Cell
Electric car concept still is not really close to many people. However, no one dares to deny the efforts of automobile manufacturers in the innovation and development of electric vehicles. One of them, not to mention Mercedes-Benz SLS form E-Cell electric vehicle.
Torque 649 lb-ft and 525 hp output parameters are proud of the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG E-Cell. Electric supercar has yellow highlights appear in several motor shows from last year to this.
E-Cell is not a half-hearted attempt to put electric drive system in the standard SLS. Instead, this is the result of intensive engineering projects derived from the F1 world.
Electric motor torque vectoring
"Heart" of the SLS AMG E-Cell is four synchronous electric motor, mounted in the chassis near each wheel. Transmit power to all four wheels as traction and support vector torque from the wheel operated individually. This helps cornering characteristics can be adjusted almost infinitely and reduce reliance on electronic balancing system which is useful for the enthusiastic driver.
Low weight
Low weight helps vehicles achieve high standards of performance brand AMG. Carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) has been widely used, like aluminum. Benefits of bring CFRP include weight reduction of about 30% compared with aluminum, but the higher power.
Pin mounted inside the carbon fiber bodywork immediately increase safety but also allows central weight distribution and low maintenance. According to Mercedes-Benz, you can expect the highest standards of safety from E-Cell.
Even Mercedes-Benz also uses a different measure of attractiveness. Each carbon fiber thickness is only 1/10 of a human hair and weighing only 25 g.
F1 technology
Many automobile manufacturers claim, they enjoy the cars technology from the racetrack. However, in many cases, such a relationship is very fragile. Fortunately, this is true in the case of the SLS AMG E-Cell.
Carbon ceramic brake rotors are the first contact from the racing world, with large capacity and resistance to corrosion, even when used at high intensity. This technology also helps reduce vehicle weight 40% compared with rotors conventional gray cast iron. From there, create favorable conditions for the handling unladen weight and increased sensitivity of the steering mechanism.
The dampers pusher style race car replaces the system arranged vertically on a regular SLS. The reason is that electric drive system requires setting the other car.
Kinetic energy recovery system (KERS) is integrated in the car. Kinetic energy transformed into thermal and electrical energy when braking, then be used to provide additional power for the fixed position during rotation.
The same technology is integrated in hybrid models over the years, but Mercedes-Benz has used 48 kWh battery dedicated to equipping F1 E-Cell. Lithium-ion high-voltage, liquid-cooled. Like the F1 KERS system, braking energy recovery.
The most important thing for people who are all interested in this technology is not being wasted. Mercedes-Benz is expected to launch SLS AMG E-Cell to market in 2013, with small-scale production.

Thus, up to the present time, it is difficult to determine BMW or Mercedes-Benz will win the crown in the luxury car segment in the United States.
Last year, BMW is the first carmaker to now number more than 2,715 Mercedes-Benz vehicles.
Mercedes and BMW historical confrontation
Two arch-rival carmakers from Europe entered a new competition where the thirst for small cars created great value, according to CNNs analysis.
Since leaving BMW Rover, Mercedes-bye Chrysler, both manufacturers have to avoid small car segment and focus on high-end cars as a way to assert trademark. Now you have to get certain achievements, adding pressure on fuel consumption, both continue to seek new opportunities.
Daimler, Mercedes parent company, successor company was founded in 1883. Since the invention of the car found they never tired to make the world remember about it. BMW after birth, since its inception in 1917 until 1928 the company made aircraft engines.
Stuttgart (Germany) - the home of Mercedes, is a factory town where sunlight rarely reaches the ground. Meanwhile BMW rooted in Munich. Mercedes experience, and the core of automotive filters, "The best or nothing", saying trenchant Gottlieb Daimler. BMW fashion as the person who created it "move-art machine" is the company slogan advertising companies talk about BMW.
Sales
BMW and Audi are battling the Mercedes luxury car market. According to IHS Automotive, Mercedes pie has shrunk from 25% (2001) to 21.4% this year. BMW determination to achieve sales of 2 million units in 2020, but the heat was running when you want to complete this goal 4 years ago. BMW 3 Series topped the list of the top-selling luxury car. Mercedes Leader Dieter Zetsche has ambitions of car production doubled in 2020 and crossed BMW, but analysts remain skeptical about the intentions.
Performance
Despite the small number of anticipated sales can hurt financial performance standard, BMW still get the best profit world. Last years profit (before tax) was 11.8%, while Mercedes is 9%. All technicians white coat that you see in ads are considering Mercedes. Mercedes are paying for a lot less people to create more parking. The immediate goal, Mercedes wants to increase profits by 10%, but only reached 8.4% in Q1, 2012.
Profit on cars
With senior product line as the CLS and SLS and the traditional three-pointed star, Mercedes earned more opponents thousands of dollars on each end of the car. If more Blach Edition AMG and average revenue will increase to $ 53,000. Series 3 Series is BMWs popularity earned on average $ 47,400 per vehicle.
The development of new models
Unlike previous generations, the new 5-door hatchback A-class and B-type class utility vehicles coming to market risk was not encountered in the test overturned avoiding obstacles. Mercedes turnaround small car manufacturing technology, by eliminating the type of sandwich floor and roof lowered height.
BMW continues to diversify goals. X4 coupe shape similar to the design of the X6, but the problem lies in how it appealing small car models of Mercedes.
The growth seen from statistics
According to CNW Research, Mercedes customers have an average age of 57, higher than the BMW around 5-10 years old. The difference is evident in the low-end product line. The owner of Mercedes C-class is often useful to be older BMW 3 Series owners about 10 years old.
