Mercedes Safety And Medical Cars At F1 Season Opener

Emmanuel P March 15, 2012

Once again, fans around the world will be treated this weekend to the sight of the latest designs and innovations in the Formula 1 arena. While some liken the F1 circuit to a circus, there is no doubt that motorsport’s top engineers and designers can be found here.

Accompanying these top-level race cars are the Mercedes-AMG F1 Safety and Medical cars, composed of the SLS AMG and C63 AMG Estate, respectively. As evidence of the top-level design and engineering excellence that these cars come with out of the box, very little is done to the cars in order to perform their duties at the track. In fact, in the SLS, practically nothing is done at all. For the C63 AMG Medical Car, only the addition of a coilover suspension was deemed necessary. Otherwise both these cars are like any other AMG model that you can buy off the showroom floor.
