One week ahead of the first 2008 season GP, Mercedes boasts its latest pace car offering is a full 485lbs lighter than the series car it's derived from. The 585hp SL63 AMG has plastic engine hood, wings, doors and trunk, the motors for the roof are gone as is much sound deadening.
The result, according to MB "...is a weight reduction of 220 kilograms, with the Safety Car weighing in at just 1750 kilograms/3858lbs (with a full tank and without occupants)".
