After already McLaren with the Eleven, Aston Martin with the V12 Speedster and Ferrari with that SP2 Monza, presented sporty vehicles without a windshield, thought now Roland A Bussinkthat a Mercedes project of this kind would be appropriate. Bussink hired the HWA AG with turning his idea into reality. Roland Bussink is a well-known German industrial designer who has a great passion for extraordinary automobiles. His hobbies include car racing and, for example, he regularly takes part in the most prominent sports car ride called Gumball 3000 part. Also at the company, what Bussink's idea of one AMG GT R Speedster put into practice, die-hard Mercedes fans will probably lose the penny immediately. HWA stands for Hans Werner Aufrecht, the founder of the company who is also a co-founder of AMG.
Bussink GT R Speed Legend
The HWA company is more or less the motorsport arm of AMG, but unlike AMG, it does not belong directly to the Daimler Group, but is responsible for very special projects, including Mercedes CLK DTM AMG which caused a sensation in the late 1990s. But now we come to the AMG GT R Speed Legendwhich whole five times is to be built and is already sold out.
The design of the car is inspired by the Mercedes-AMG Stirling Moss.
The first thing you notice is that the vehicle only has one tiny windshield, which acts more as a wind deflector, and also a redesigned one bonnet that includes side gills. Otherwise, on closer inspection, of course, the continuous one falls Targa bracket, which separates the driver and front passenger, and is intended to provide more safety in the event of a possible rollover. Behind the seats are two air boxes, which are typically separated from each other, and the matt black finish immediately in the eye. The rims are from the series shelf of Mercedes-Benz, but look with theirs glossy black paintwork and the silver tread look very sporty and harmonize perfectly with the matt black exterior finish.
Almost everything is as usual in the interior.
The cockpit was unchanged Adopted from the Mercedes-AMG GT R, but an infotainment unit is completely missing in order to save as much weight as possible. Thus omitted Navigation and sound system and the focus is purely on driving pleasure. However, they provide the necessary comfort Racing seatswhich were covered with quilted leather. We already mentioned the continuous one above Targa bracket, which is supposed to protect the heads of the occupants in the event of a rollover, and the Halo system from Formula 1 is modeled. Otherwise there are no further changes to the standard version of the AMG GT R in the interior.
4-liter twin-turbo V8 petrol engine provides propulsion.
Compared to the 577 PS of the production vehicle that sound 850 PS of Bussink GT R Speed Legend like a value from another league. Together with the Weight reduction of about 100 kg The driving performance should be significantly better than the 3,8 seconds from 0 to 100 km / h of the Mercedes-AMG GT R. However, the question is whether you can really take on the challenge with such a vehicle, and with over 300 on the motorway want to board. In the event of an accident, a million dollars will be lost.
Our conclusion on this Bussink GT R SpeedLegend:
In our eyes, this car is a luxury toy for the super-rich, who prefer a Mercedes to an Italian or British make. The suitability for everyday use tends towards zero, of course, but it is fascinating that such cars still exist.
