Mercedes-Benz SL63 AMG returns as F1 safety car for 2009
Filed under: Motorsports, Sports/GTs, Mercedes-Benz
 Click above for a high-res gallery of the Mercedes-Benz SL63 AMG F1 Safety Car AMG has been involved in Formula 1 for well over a decade now, starting with a Mercedes-Benz C36 AMG serving as the safety car back in 1996. Most recently, the SL63 AMG earned the spot last year, and it is returning for 2009 to set the pace at each F1 race this year. To ensure that it's capable of performing its duties in any situation, the car has been fitted with quite a few upgrades, including an upgraded coilover suspension system, a three-stage traction control system, massive composite brakes - 15.4 inches up front and 14.2 inch in the rear - and additional coolers for the oil, transmission, coolant, and power steering. The overall weight of the car has also been reduced by 485 pounds thanks to carbon-fiber-reinforced plastic body components and the removal of the convertible top mechanism. Follow the jump for more details in the press release from Mercedes-Benz, and check out the high-res gallery below.
