F1 on the road

Mercedes has worked hard to ensure that its vehicles are as environmentally-friendly as they can be and its S-Class and C-Class models - as well as its A-Class and B-Class cars - have been certified by the International Organisation for Standardisation's Design for Environment category.

Hire a Mercedes today and you are likely to get hold of a vehicle that has been created with innovative design and with the environment in mind.

The Mercedes SL55 AMG uses Formula One technology for the road and could be exactly the kind of Mercedes car hire choice you have been looking for.

Design

With its convertible roof and a truly sporting look, the SL55 AMG is a real flash number.

Control

Yahoo! highlights the model's torque as one particular selling point - a potential bonus for car hire customers.

Offering 531lb/ft, the SL55 AMG is reportedly ahead of the Ferrari 550 Maranello, Lamborghini Murcielago, Aston Martin Vanquish and the Porsche 911GT2 in that field.

The full package

The Mercedes brand is recognised across the world, so why not buy into it by choosing it as your prestige car hire today?

You can scour London car hire firm City Inter Rent's extensive fleet for the vehicle that best suits your needs - but it will be hard to look beyond the SL55 SMG supercar.
