Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Laps Nurburgring

[SLRRR]

 

At the preview drive of the 2010 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Gullwing in Germany, Editor-At-Large Arthur St. Antoine joined five-time German Touring Car (DTM) Champion Bernd Schneider in the SLS for an unforgettable hot lap around the 13-mile-long Nurburgring Nordschleife, the world's most fearsome and challenging racetrack. Strap in and hang on...

 

Note: the volume changes all the time, that's why you dont hear much off the V8

Epic. Simply Epic

[gingervette]

Can't wait to see the un-camoed version.

 

It will probably be extremely overpriced like the SLR was but it will still be beautiful. :)

[KoenigseggBG]

That's a bit of a fail for me

 

[Shy Guy]

I have to say that its ugly, it looks like a GTR crossed with a Viper...

[KoenigseggBG]

The back look very much like the new Z4, lights are off some SL, exhausts from SL65 BS. The front is just not for my taste, I think it's hideous, reminds of the 300SL which some people may like, not me. ;)

[Shy Guy]

Front lights are clearly off the Nissan GTR, and the basic body shape has some Dodge Viper in it.

[Eudemon]

and the basic body shape has some Dodge Viper in it.

Haha no chance, the shape is heritage to the 300SL which is clear to see however the front they have really disappointed on as like you said it looks more Nissan GT-R than Mercedes. There's really something wrong with the front but the side and rear isn't too bad but I see 300SL and no Viper in this thing.

 

[KoenigseggBG]

Nah, shape looks much more like the new Z4, especially in the back, front reminds a lot of the 300SL Gullwing. ;)

 

Edit : Diablo, yeah, side is ok, back too but front is just hideous, makes you wanna get off it's way as quickly as possible, so it won't eat you. :oook:

 

Edit 2 : Found another pic of it, side of it this time :

It looks like a futuristic 300SL GW *puke*

Wasn't that the idea?

[Immelmann]

I liked the 300SL. This is just ugly though. :ill:

[Risingsun]

Those pictures make my love for a gtr even bigger.

["Hedge"]

sry to say but very ugly and out of this world lol

[KoenigseggBG]

The ulgy Merc, now officially made it...

 

 

With all my hatred to the SLR Stirlling Moss, I prefer it to this "thing". It's just awful, AMG shouldn't have put their name onto that...

[Car Freak]

I dunno... It's not really a stunner, but i suspect this is a car whose looks will grow on me... I mean, yes, some of the details are pretty ugly, but for some reason i like its stance, the way it sits on its wheels. I think a quick way to making this look better is too widen the headlamps and get rid of that air intake just beneath them

[TDU 505]

Hmmm the netcarshow pictures have swayed me. I think it looks rather good!

[CobraDBlade]

Not really my idea of great styling, but I think that may just be a first impression. No doubt that as it is around longer and (possibly) more vehicles in the Mercedes line start to look like it I will grow accustomed to it, but if it is only offered with an automatic then it is a total fail as far as I'm concerned.

I LOVE IT :D I want one now.

It's damn beautifull.

Indeed its awesome :thumbsup:

[Baltoman]

Well, I guess it already grew on me like the 370Z. Not that bad I guess...

[qyndra]

It looks awsome certainly in silver and red interior leather. I wonder though would they do an even more powerfull version because that would just be insane to drive.

 

:thumbsup:

its looks quite nice, but it's not my type of a car.
