Mercedes Benz SLS AMG 63 Brabus Review:

 

Last week I found out that one of my friends bought the new Mercedes Benz SLS AMG 63 Brabus. I had an exceptional experience driving this cool ride. I would like to share with you some facts of this vehicle’s engine, transmission, fuel consumption, and safety. 

·         Engine

This limited edition vehicle enjoys a 563 hp in its engine with a torque power of 650 N.m. When this vehicle unleashes the beast under its hood, it runs from 0-60 mph in just 3.5 seconds. However, what really stands out of this vehicle’s engine is the fact that every engine is built by one person in the AMG factory and has a plaque on the top of the engine signed by the builder.

·         Transmission

The SLS 63 AMG Brabus gives the driver a broad of convenient choices of driving modes. These driving modes are C mode for “Controlled Efficiency”, S mode for “Sport”, S+ mode for “Sport plus” or M mode for ‘’Manual” when the driver uses the tiptronic transmission.

·          Fuel consumption

Every sport car lover has to sacrifice the cost of fuel consumption. This vehicle is mean when it comes to fuel consumption where it consumes 14 mpg in city and 20 mpg in highways.

·         Safety

This vehicle has standard safety features like an anti-locking system and a 3-stage ESP.  According to Car and driver magazine this car has a unique safety feature when it comes to gullwing doors.  Ten to fifteen milliseconds after a detected rollover, explosive bolts situated at the top of the door frame fire and bell cranks separate the doors from the car for easy exit during a serious accident.

 

 

GulfRun 24hr Karting Endurance Race

This weekend was no ordinary weekend for me. I participated in the Gulf Run 24hr karting endurance race that took place in Kuwait international fair last Friday. The event was sponsored by Watanya, Extreme sport, and Gulf cables. There were twelve teams competing in this race. Each team had a minimum of four drivers and a maximum of twelve, plus the team’s manager. The event organizers were very eager to lead the event to success in all measures so they hired an expert British crew to manage the race. The British crew was also responsible for the racing karts damages and maintenance during the race. Still, maintaining safety was a high priority for the event organizers. First aid and ambulance was available in case of injuries, and police officials to make sure nothing goes wrong.

GulfRun Opens Registration for GulfRun 8

GulfRun has opened registration for GulfRun 8 which will take place at the Bahrain International GP Circuit end of January 2013. For this occasion, GulfRun hosted a gathering at AlGhanim Bumper-to-Bumper Garage to showcase some of the cars participating and to get to know some of the participants. At the same time, the Top Speed Motorsports (TSM) owner and tuner from the US were also at the garage preparing and tuning some GTRs to astonishing dyno numbers. The owner was kind enough to do a presentation showing the process of tuning a GTR, increasing the power from 480whp to 620whp with just simple bolt-on parts!
