Vodafone McLaren Mercedes Formula 1™ driver Lewis Hamilton is about to get behind the wheel of another Mercedes-Benz GL-Class – his preferred car choice when away from the racetrack.

His latest 4MATIC model – a new GL 320 CDI – is powered by a refined three-litre V6 common-rail diesel engine, developing 224hp at 3800 rpm, and 510Nm from 1600 rpm – 2800 rpm. Lewis’s Vodafone McLaren Mercedes Formula 1™ car, on the other hand, has a 2.4-litre V8 engine developing at least 500hp more, at an incredible 19,000 rpm.

Explaining his choice of road-going vehicle, Lewis said: “At the track I always drive on the limit, but on public roads I like to relax, kick back and cruise. The GL’s perfect for that – it’s got plenty of space for all my kit, a brilliant sound system, and the high driving position gives me a clear view of the road ahead. It’s just about the most comfortable road car I’ve driven.

“My GL looks great – metallic black paint with matching leather, privacy glass, and it’s got awesome 21” AMG wheels. But with standard air suspension, it still rides beautifully.” Read the rest of this entry »
